WOW!!! Was it really supposed to do that? If so, that's very well orchestrated controlled chaos. Not for me :o

Holy crap! And it was a 3 minute ride! Even our local fairs rides are usually a minute or so.

& it holds 33 riders. @ 150 # average, just shy of 5,000 pound payload.

Interesting design, but, even if I was young & into thrill rides, I wouldnt be much attracted to that particular kind of motion, Looks like a fine exercise in engineering, but I dont see that being such a long term popular ride, Rollercoasters are in no danger, at all..

That thing wont, IMO, be "The Draw" to get people into the park. Theres a place for it, but Ill never be in the line. In fact, since a rollercoaster malfunctioned & the retainer that held me down kept getting tighter at the bottom of every dip( I was afraid my back was about to be broken) I dont go in those places,.

I can get motion sick, on spongy soled shoes...
You don't do theme park rides with me unless you want my lunch... :-?...

Copuld only make out one word per revolution, but I was able to keep up with where he was thru the gyrations & read a little every time he flew by,

Axis is singular,

Axes is plural,

you pronounce it in the same way.

Axes (as in, "two hatchets")

Not to be confused with "Access" or "Excess" or "Exes" XXX

;D

I knew index & indices, & I knew axis had a plural ending in "sees", but when I typed what I thot it would be, it looked like I had more than one axe,, & Lo & behold, Looka what I found..

The most common axes encountered are commonly the mutually perpendicular Cartesian axes in the plane or in space. The plural of "axis" is "axes," pronounced "ax-ees."

Out of those 33 riders, I bet at least 2 puke over the rest. I bet the rider operators pick up a ton of change every evening that fall out of pockets.
