I bet someone makes a killing picking up loose change off the ground

OK, that thing is nuts.

That's pretty awesome! It's like a improved version of the Tomb Raider ride at Kings Dominion.

The KGB used the same device to torture people in the old days in Lubyanka prison

Yes sir. I used to work for a carnival. At the end of the day, whoever runs that rides is searching the ground. He'll find plenty of money, as well as cigarettes, lighters, cell phones, drugs, and other random pocket fodder. It's what is known as "Ride Shake". Some ride jocks make the ride as bumpy as possible in hopes of emptying your pockets.

As to the scariness, nothing beats a Zipper. Zippers are notorious for falling apart during operation, earning them the nickname of "Deadliest Ride on the Midway".

It might not be worth it when you think of all the piles of puke that are scattered all over. Tiptoe through the tulips, it aint.

Looks like a ripoff of the old DaVinci's Cradle ride.

Ride jocks on rides like that make $200 or $300 a week from loose change on the ground. More, if it's a really busy day. Also, vomit isn't as common as you'd think. It's totally worth it.

Looks like fun to me

In soviet russia, park rides you!
