Now this ride is a cliffhanger!

THRILLSEEKERS had better hold on! The world's steepest incline railway has just become even steeper.

The Scenic Railway at the Blue Mountains, NSW, has just reopened after undergoing a $30 million revamp.

Passengers can now customise their ride - the incline is adjustable by 20 degrees. The trip used to operate at 52 degrees, but it can now be taken at between 44 and 64 degrees from a thrilling "cliff hanger" to a softer laid back journey.

The red carriages, which fit 84 passengers, now also have an enclosed glass roof.

There's also a refurbished track which spans 415 metres through a cliff side tunnel and through an ancient rainforest.

Scenic World is Australia's most-visited private tourist attraction. It also has a skyway, walkway and cableway.

What a trip.
