I cold never ride one after I was on one with my childhood best friend and the car we were in seemed loose...and she kept jumping up and down to make it bump! Thats was IT!
I used to love the former kind of Ferris wheels. Then I tried the other kind and liked them MUCH better. You didn't need to hang on, but needed ONE more person to be there with you for support in the ROUND wheel.
Looks like fun. I always loved carnival rides or the ones at the amusement parks. My favorite though was the bumper cars. Laughed myself sick on those!
A small act of kindness still makes a big difference. Hope your day goes great for you.
