Getting stuffy in here, figured it's time to get freaky, German carnival ride style.

Figure I probably should have mentioned I rode that about a year and a half ago, it's actually more fun than it looks. It's an all around bizarre ride.

That ride looked awesome! We should get something like that some year to replace Revolution.

It's actually surprisingly not that intense.

As for getting one here, it is up for sale. The manufacturer of the ride Waagner Biro hasn't made a ride since that rolled out of their factory. They do Bridges and Sky Scrapers now. The only other rides I think the company made were the Tripple Ferris Wheels (Sky Whirl) and probably the doubles also (like what used to be at Hershey, now the A.H. Skywheel).

Oh also the main trailer for that ride is in the range of 130,000 lbs, pretty sure that's not even allowed on US roads, limit here is 80,000 lbs, 80,000-120,000 requires a permit. So even if a park wanted it, they'd have to go to Germany and disassemble it before shipping.

Awesome video! The looks like a fun ride! Plus, with the lack of spinning, i think my stomach would be able to handle it.
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter :(

Xtreme ride. GA should use use that ride to replace Trailblazer call it Chuck Wagon equipped with puking buckets at the exit because thats what riders will do after riding this ride. Too bad its never gonna happen because the company who made it went down.
