Higher and higher

At the spring fair in Amsterdam I see every year more frightening attractions I would never go in for pleasure. The big wheel looks rather safe, sitting in a cabin but the other one, sitting in a chair with your legs free...brrr.

It went up higher and higher.

Until its highest level, I could hardly see the people anymore.
At least they watched the sky close I think.

  1. Creepy, huh? :-) Enthusiasts are probably frustrated astronauts.

  2. It would take a stronger person than me to go on a ride like that.

  3. I agree with you! Not sure what would be worse...Freezing or being frightened to death!

  4. I used to LOVE these rides as a youngster. Now? Not so much; haven't been on anything except a carousel for years!

  5. Never cared much for swinging in the air like that, being held in place by a couple of cables. I saw one break and that was it for me. I like the other ferris wheel though and do still get on rides, but not the cable swings. Really nice photos :)

  6. Unfortunately for me, Ferris Wheels have never been my favorites even when I was kid. I tried it out once and my friends went "Raine, you looked green." They really send me straight to the clinic. lolz. I prefer the carnival-type rollercoasters. I gave a distinction since there are even several rollercoasters that's starting to be out of my endurance level. hahaha. Great pics. Good day to have a stroll around the attractions and just have a good time. :D

  10. I'm with you. I dare not go on anything like that even when I was young. I'm a scaredy cat.
