I've operated a bobcat at my old job, not the same, but I would think it works fairly similar, but depending on where you put the throttle, it could move! :)

Nothing like going 40 down the street in a bobcat to a gas station for diesel.

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!

if you search for Intoxx on YouTube there are other videos, if they are still up. Does look neat, that debuted close to a year ago in Switzerland. Next year at least one more will be delivered to a German Showman.

:lol: No offence, but those guys were playing Russian Roulette. It may look like fun but one wrong move can prove lethal for someone. And what do you mean Triple Play on steroids? The ride pattern was way different. It looked more like a centrifuge and nothing like the veteran classic.
R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.

yeah, for the past video, that was most likely me :)

Also, not advocating the use of construction equipment for leisure purposes, but like rides there are safety devices built into construction equipment due to the nature of what they do, as a tipped over piece of eqiupment is never a good think, and really any danger to the people in the bucket would have been caused solely by the operator.

Really can anyone name a difference between a flat ride and construction equipment (besides of coures purpose)?

There is no difference, it's all the same mechanical systems really, if more people thought of rides in that light, maybe people would stop doing retarded things on/around rides.
