Travel Channel’s 'Thrill Factor' Episode 2: WATCH Kari Byron, Tory Belleci's "No Sense" Clip!
Travel Channel will soon learn "Kari Has No Sense" at all in an all-new episode of Thrill Factor. Check out this clip from tonight's Episode 2, as co-hosts Kari Byron and Tory Belleci discover how our sense of sight and sound affect our reactions to the thrill rides we enjoy so much of.
Thrill Factor follows former Mythbusters Kari Byron and Tory Belleci as they explore the exciting world of thrill rides, water slides, and other heart-pumping experiences. Through a scientific lens, these co-hosts dive into the engineering, physics,and biomechanics that explain why these amazing rides excite adrenaline junkies.
In an interview with CNet, Byron describes moving from one show to another, ""After 'Mythbusters' ended, I was looking for fun projects that are both intelligent and entertaining, I always loved being a part of smart TV. 'Thrill Factor' and Travel Channel called at just the right time. Who wouldn't want to do a show about the science of thrill rides?"
According to the synopsis from the official website, Tory will experiment with Kari senses as she takes a ride in Colorado's Glenwood Canyon Flyer ride. Kari's senses are in for something worthwhile, as the swing takes riders over a 1,300-foot cliff. Because Kari will have her vision and hearing deprived, she will test how sight and sounds add to the thrills of a ride.
Nancy Heard, general manager at the park, described having the co-hosts, "It was a blast. A lot of people know Kari and Tory from 'Mythbusters,' so they actually were recognized. They were really gracious to our guests. I spent the entire day with them, and I really enjoyed the day."
