OMGoodness. I've never in my life, seen anything like that. I like rides, but that one looks pretty scary.

Mona Marie 06-15-2012 05:35 AM

kountrykreation 06-15-2012 07:38 AM

As I sit here in my SAFE and comfy office chair, I can only say... piece of cake, baby ride, where's the big people ride, when's the scary ride start?

willferg 06-15-2012 07:59 AM

Wow! Just wow!

Prism99 06-15-2012 07:59 PM

OMG. I only wish they had filmed the people getting off and walking away!

After too many years of going to amusement parks and "wimping out" of the "good" rides, I finally figured out why I don't like rides like that. I get panic attacks when I go "up"! Like on a Farris wheel, 3/4 of the way around, I'm fine, but when it gets to (imagine a clock) 6:00-3:00, I can't breathe and my chest clinches up and my bowels clinch up.. and I just want to die! And it is NOT fun for me! On a roller coaster, I'm fine with most of the ride, except that part in EVERY one when it goes up the big hill. They always slow the ride down there (to build anticipation, I guess) and I just have to close my eyes and wait it out. I enjoy the rest of the ride, but since just about every one I've ever been on has a normal up-and-down and round-and-round track, then up the big hill, fast down the big hill, a few more fast swoops and then the end, I haven't recovered from my panic attack and I have the reputation of being a chicken.
It's so bad, a few months ago, we went up a glass elevator, and I started crying and got off on the 3rd floor!! Apparently, normal elevators don't bother me! I don't think it's motion-sickness, because I can ride the "on the ground" rides that scramble your insides for hours and go back for more!!
Anyway, I've never known anyone else who has this issue, so .....

Never going to get me on that thing.

AshleyR 06-16-2012 03:54 AM

I'm not overly fond of heights, but I can handle being up once I'm there! It's the getting there that bugs me out! Climbing a ladder is pretty bad - I don't know why, I'm not afraid of falling!- but once I'm on a roof or whatever, I'm ok!! It's the motion, I guess!!! And riding in an airplane doesn't bother me either, but dang! the take off can put me in a fetal position! Landing doesn't seem to bother me, either.

But it's good to know I'm not alone!! Believe it or not, when I realized what the problem was (in my early 30's!) I felt much better!! I was like "HA! I'm not afraid of heights, just going up!"

Made me sick just watching.

MaryAnnMc 06-16-2012 05:14 AM

No way, no how, not ever, for ANY amount of money in the world!!!!!!

caspharm 06-16-2012 06:51 AM

I am amazed at the mechanics involved, but it's definitely not my type of ride. Probably will never see that ride in the US.

Kitsie 06-16-2012 07:12 AM

Well that's one thrill I'm going to pass on!!. Did you notice there was a lady near the center of the front row that had her hands loosely clasped in her lap?????

I watched this and got CHILLS!!! It's safe to say "I'M NOT GOING & YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!!!!!!!" That was some thing else.

teacherbailey 06-16-2012 09:51 AM

I feel the nausea coming on and I didn't even watch the whole video.....I'm glad somebody enjoys this kind of ride but I don't!!!!!

Annie68 06-16-2012 09:54 AM

I got dizzy watching it!!

auntpiggylpn 06-16-2012 09:55 AM

I've never had the desire to die with 29 perfect strangers. . .

Quilt Novice 06-16-2012 09:58 AM

That's crazy!

sew_southern 06-16-2012 12:43 PM

I felt sick just watching it! Interesting ride though! :)

BellaBoo 06-16-2012 02:39 PM

I can't do ferris wheels or ski lifts so this is out of the question. My fool kids would love it though!

TanyaL 06-16-2012 04:30 PM

It looks like it was invented for pilot training. If it went faster imagine how many "G's" they could pull!

quilty 69 06-16-2012 05:07 PM

I was getting sick just watching it!i have bouts of vertigo!

mumzer 06-16-2012 05:30 PM

That was so cool. Sent to grandchildren,Thanks for sharing.

Scakes 06-16-2012 07:27 PM

Not for me. Made me dizzy watching it. Thnaks for sharing. Have to admit it was different. Made me think of the transformer cartoons and such.
