I have said this before but not in a 100 years would you get me up in one of those things !

[Mamyalynne]

I feel sorry for those stuck up there but it's not a fast roller coaster - it's a slow moving observation tower.

I could cope with that.

[mikey4444]

So could I, but not the abseil back down !

[Mamyalynne]

With a hunky rescuer - I could.

Mamya, I'm fairly hunky, so if you ever need to be rescued, give me a call.

yes, not a thrill ride, more like the needle on Brighton's waterfront (which I have been up and loved it). Anything can go wrong in the world these days, but you can't wrap yourself in cotton wool for ever.

You would not get me up in one either !

[Mamyalynne]

I've made a note BB.x

[Tilly2]

I'd have been going, 'Weeeeeeee' all the way down. What an adventure!

[gness]

Ooooo....bliss....the added extra would be the icing on the cake.....

I'd be weeeeeeeeeeeeing with Tilly.......☺

I did a silly thing once. I joined in the company's summer treat for all employees at one of these entertainment parks. As soon as we got through the gates everyone made a beeline for a queue. I went along, thinking it was a queue for a not-very-hair-raising ride. I did not find out until too late that it was for a nightmare ride of upside-downs and inside-outs, which seemed to last several eternities of terror.
