This is similar in concept to the old Tomb Raider ride at Kings Island here in Cincinnati…but this thing moves in some crazy-assed ways!
Would you ride this?
Not only would I not ride on it, I’d probably betray nuclear secrets to avoid being put on it.
At first I was like “seen it before”.
Then I was like “OMG it’s broken”.
Then I’m like “Hell. No.”
Anything that spins triggers my barf reflex.
They have those at some parks here in Canada. I went on one of those at Klondike Days in Edmonton back in the 90’s.
Oh hell yeah.
But listen to that awesome music that accompanies the ride!
That’s not a ride, that’s a Russian torture device
I’d do it.
:eek: Holy crap, that thing makes me queasy just watching it. No, thanks!
But would you respect it in the morning?
Well, they could make it just a bit worse.
-
Move a little faster.
-
Riders aren’t allowed to see how it works. You just get on and THEN you find out.
-
Make sure it makes horrible grinding and breaking sounds and you have the odd “fake” pieces fall off at various intervals here and there. All the while have the operators screaming, running around, and looking like they are frantically trying to shut it down.
Yeah, that should do it.
Seems pretty tame. It didn’t really even do much of anything.
No f’n’ way.
Yeah, I think if it rotated faster it would up the ante quite a bit. And billfish’s ideas are pretty funny…especially the one about the fake breaking parts, grinding noises, etc.
I’d respect it even more. 
Not enough. Bruce the shark should attack it as it dunks into the water.
Love it!..Until it starts riding me…
Ah that brought back happy memories! I’ve been on a similar ride in a park in England (it didn’t do the thing where the arms move independently).
So yes, I would go on that!!
Looks fun. Sure, I’d ride it.
*Amusement park – specially roller-coasters – junkie still going @56
Doesn’t look that scary as far as some rides go. But no, I wouldn’t ride it. I had an experience of riding something somewhat different , but it still involved being upside down without centrifugal force to keep you in (i.e. it relies on restraints so you don’t die). Unfortunately the restraints sucked so I had to hold on with my feet. I wouldn’t call myself “traumatized” but don’t especially feel the need to do it again either.
