I consider myself to be a roller coaster enthusiast and travel as much as I can to ride. I'l ride any coaster (including regularly riding the world"s tallest - Kingda Ka), but I am scared on ferris wheels and gondola/ski lift type rides. So far, the only ferris wheel I havent been scared on and actually enjoy is the inside sliding cars on the Coney Island Wonder Wheel. Id prob be scared in the stable cars though.

The world needs a ferris wheel built into the loop of a rolercoaster with a seperate rolercoaster flying through the middle.
@Justin.Franks4 жыл бұрын
That would probably be quite an engineering challenge. Roller coaster loops aren't circular, which isn't much of an issue. The tricky bit is because of the "width" of a roller coaster vertical loop, with the entry and exit tracks a few meters apart from each other. So the loop would need to be "stretched" horizontally (sort of like a corkscrew loop) in order to give enough clearance for the ferris wheel gondolas in the middle.
