Yikes. Growing up in Pittsburgh, I spent a lot of time at Kennywood (w00t!), so roller coasters are no biggie. This Skyscraper looks like a disaster in the works.

The thrill ride at our fair growing up was always the Zipper (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf8UWcqw4Dk&feat...) and then they added the Himalaya (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmoUuZB2TBk).

I grew up 2 hours from Cedar Point and a 300 foot coaster so they pretty much bore me now. But nothing scares me like carny rides though. My cousin ran them for 10 years (small hands) and would tell me / show me how they put them together with whatever was laying around and left over

The commentary on that video is great.

How'd you like be strapped in first, waiting at the top while they get the other two victims ready?

Thanks, I'll pass.

Hmmm ... its called the Skyscrpaer and I quote ...

People were WOWed by this ride when it was last at the waterfront. Rising 200 feet into the air, this 60 mile per hour thriller spins riders in huge propeller like circular arc.

60 mph? ... and throwing there puke into the milling crowds below and as far as a mile away ... sorry, a little gross but it paints a picture.

I think you'd pause in the presence of the beast.

I'd probably do it if it came to Chicago or somewhere near where I happen to be at any moment. What's the worst that can happen? Nausea is a temporary condition, so it doesn't bother me that much (unless I'd be wasting good food or wine) :)

Bring it on! (he says while squinting at the photo to figure out if he means it)

If you go, get some video of those hardy souls going on and coming off that monster.

No way dude! You won't catch me on those rides either. But, it's always fun watching other people do it.
