If this ride were on a midway you should make it your last ride of the night. Especially if you had a few corn dogs earlier.

Interesting ride indeed, these high thrill rides are great, but would still love to see some old classics remade since big shows don't want to carry them as much any more.

They have done a few: cliffhanger/paratrooper, zero gravity/round up, Storm/Tempest.

Would love to see remakes of:

Holiday Bounce/Tip Top

Rock N Roll

Twister

Especially a Sky Wheel. I would even settle for a Stampede.

Yes, Sky Wheel would be a great one as well, Giant Wheel's are great, but the Sky Wheel gives a good "thrill" with airtime.

I am not a designer or engineer but have often wondered if the Sky Wheel could become 2 28' ride. In other words using two 28' trailers instead of two regular size. Make the towers fold in the middle to drop them down. Maybe need to add more wind bracing with shorter trailers, use rim drive for both the wheels and the bull wheels instead of a cable.

Then a two trailer ride becomes a one trailer ride and maybe a little more profitable.
