Ever ride the ferris wheel?

The Ferris wheel was invented 100 years before I was born. Well, since the kids are alright, when my kids were young, I put them on the child's Ferris wheel, they were terrorized. I joke to them now about that I tell the story to thier loved ones. lol  It is a very  romantic ride. Have a gr8 day

Oh so many years ago, when I was a young teen, I went on the ferris wheel at the fair one rainy night with a cute boy in my neighborhood.

Lightning struck, ALL the power at the fair went out. We were stuck at the very top of the ferris wheel for quite a while.

It was swaying in the rain while we were in it. Terrifying.  Seemed like hours. Probably 30- 45 minutes. They couldn't just flip a back-up generator back then.

It is a risky, insane ride...people still get hurt (or worse) on them.

 

It chills me

I have been on the ferris wheel at Six flags great adventure which was on of the tallest until they started making all these "sky" wheels. I have never been on one of them.

I am scared of them but always must ride them. I have no idea why. It scares me when they rock, but I love the view.

I never rode the ferris wheel. I'm afraid of heights for one, but another reason is because I'm afraid that I may get stuck at the top. So scarry.

I did once, some 40 years ago, but never since

I do but it scares me! I hate when the car stops at the top. Even worse I hate if it starts swinging!

One of the most terrifying rides I can imagine!  I will ride a 400 foot rollercoaster and love every moment of the speed and twists/turns. But put me on a ferris wheel and I cannot WAIT for standing on solid ground again once it is over!

I also do not like the ferris wheel - not romantic to me!

i'll go on it but it's probably my least favorite ride

I love the ferris wheel.
I haven't ridden on a traditional ferris wheel in eons   I have been on the ferris wheel at California Adventure - Mickey's Fun Wheel... good times, but they are enclosed cars, that slide on the axis.

I am looking forward to going on the giant ferris wheel in Vegas.  I heard is it similar to the one in London.  Again enclosed & pricey... like $30 a trip.

I have ridden a few, but I don't like them.

I always get on the ferris wheel when they have it an amusement park

I did for the first time a year ago. I was so excited because it was a huge ferris wheel over looking the city but I was sick the entire time. I guess it's not the ride for me.

when I was younger I went on a ferris wheel being young having no fear when it stropped and I was on top would not do it now
