I'll make this last one large so you can actually see them, lol. This is 365 feet in the air.

Would you do this?
I have to admit it fascinates me. But it also terrifies me. I imagine that the feeling of soaring is incredible. But the spinning, so high up in the air, when you are coming down might give me cardiac arrest, lol. I cannot decide whether I have the balls to do it.

Have you done this?
If you've ridden one of these things before, tell me what it was like. How powerful is the jerk when you've hit the maximum extension? How much did you pay, lol? $50 (for two people) is a lot for an experience that lasts under 5 minutes. Is it worth it?
