Stuck upside down for hours... I can’t imagine. Absolutely terrible.
When I reached the adulthood height of 6’5 and too tall for most rides at amusement parks, I was a bit upset. My first wife loved roller coaster rides her and her sisters would ride roller coasters all day long. I could fit on some old school roller coasters with a bit of legroom but for the most part I just stuck to the teacup...
Now I look at some of these modern rides and I think those people are crazy.
Last year I went tandem skydiving a couple times. Last week I tried indoor skydiving. Both were a blast.
That said, I don’t really like carnival rides.
I hate to stereotype (well, maybe not), but it has occurred to me for decades that the operators of these rides, particularly the traveling county fair-types, don’t appear to be screened and selected from America’s best employment pool.
Put my five-year-old grandson on a “ride” overseen by a cigarette puffing 22-year-old that looks like he hasn’t bathed in a week?
No thank you.
