Everything is okay, until it goes faster.
My 16-year old niece asked.me yeaterday if we can ride the.ferris wheel in the town park. I said yes.
The park got few people, and the ferris is not in operation since there.is no one there, but we tried asking if we can take a ride and we did for 25 pesos or $.40.
We waited for more but then, only three young men dared to join us.
It was fun at first, but when the wheel moves faster and felt bit shaky, i was like...how long is that ride? Felt like 30 minutes.
I took a video of it, and uploaded it on my IG. Haha.
Well, i am not sure if i will be doing it again. Hahaha.
Have you ever get into ferris wheel? Or any ride in a carnival?

I have ridden those and they are pretty tame compared to the Tilt A Whirls and roller coasters. But when the wheel stops and sways at the top while others are picked up, it is a little scary. The Ferris wheel was invented by an American named George Ferris, Jr. I found that out when I wrote about Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Yes, when I was a kid. 
During that time, I enjoyed riding on the ferris wheel, octopus and caterpillar.

@rona07 How old were you then? Why were they located near the seashore? Was it because of the space the rides occupied?

@Lucky15 There is a metal bar that snaps into place but that is all, no safety belts.

I used to love them as a kid, but last year a friend of mine persuaded me to go on the big dipper with her as she didn't want to go on alone. Oh dear - it made me feel really queasy, and I can say with certainlty that I will not be repeating the experience.
Sounds as if you might not be going on the Ferris wheel again, either.

I am not into rides. I had only tried riding the caterpillar when I was a small kid. I don't like the ferris wheel in country fairs. Hihihi
Maybe I can ride the ferris wheel at the seaside in MOA.

I have done those mad things when I was a bit younger. We have here what they call giant wheel. We do get that sinking feeling in the stomach but quite safe.

Yes, I rode a ferris wheel when I was 10 years old and when we were at the top, I shouted to stop, please stop. I can't bear the fast moving and shaking movements, I felt my stomach was not fine so the operator stop the machine. From that on, I never ride it again.

I rode it when I was still a child and had a nice time; but I don't want that swing-like ride that made me so dizzy and scared.
