They must be crazy

Thrill seekers on a ride at the local showgrounds.
Would you do this one? :roll:

I am already getting sick when I look at the picture

Good shot!

Some of the machines are diabolical.
Here's the thing at rest! Ready to load its next set of "passengers" :roll:

Would you do this one? :roll:

Absolutely not ! Great shot Tim .

Some of the machines are diabolical.

Great way to describe them indeed :lol: . I agree 100%. Were you up in a ferris wheel to get this shot? Ferris wheels aren't my thing either...eeek.

Great photo, realy captures the "terror" of the riders.

You can tell the 'Hard Rock' is full on by all the loose change under the ride. :lol:

Thanks guys,
At my age, I best avoid these rides, I doubt my neck or back could handle it.
I've been on a couple of small roller coasters in the past - best to wear the brown underware! :lol:
You are all very perceptive, yes Phil and Athena the second image was from the Ferris wheel.
When we roll up we always make a bee line to the wheel.
It was a bit windy the day were were up there.

Here is the mesh lattice work of "The Wheel"
Taken from well within the bars of the cab.

Cheers,

Tim, last time, I persuaded my wife to go with our daughter to "enjoy" a beast similar to the one from #1. Luckily, I had all my photo equipment with me so was able to successfully play a serious photographer that cannot join the "entertainment".

By the way, the Wheel mesh shot is perfect.
