I'm not really afraid of heights but I'm not so sure about this.
How many margaritas are we talking about?
I'm thinking there ISN'T enough tequila..!!
ok I'm dizzy just thinkin bout it Z..ha
i'm afraid where the tequila would end up.
WHT, I'm with you!!
Obob...THAT is funny (and true!)
I have been up on something very like this, and I made a total idiot of myself.
When the thing stopped, I remember looking down...and then suddenly this scream came up out of me, my hands and arms locked up.
The scream just kept getting longer and longer and then, everyone started screaming.
My husband , sitting beside me just laughed.
The good thing about the military is you get to move, so at least I don't see people from that incident.

I could have sworn I already answered this one-----NO WAY!
I might just be crazy enough to go on this thing. I love rides with a little scariness. It does look a little crooked though doesn't it?
The last time I was on a ferris wheel was with my former daughter-in-law. She started screaming almost right away, and I said to her "stop screaming!", and she stopped like a switch was turned off. I then told her we'd be fine and to hold my hand. Poor girl, she said she'd never go on one again, but, I have to say, once she stopped screaming, she actually relaxed a little.

I could do it, but I would probably pass. I've never been too hip on carnival rides. I can ride them, but i don't enjoy them enough to pay for it.
i am not one to go 50 inches of the ground let alone 500ft. count me out!!!
FUGGEDABOUDIT!

In a New York minute. I LOVE amusements rides.
I cried when they tore down the old Cyclone wooden coaster at Revere Beach.
Good time for a movie reference. This looks like the prater in Vienna. Check out the scene between Joseph Cotton and Orson Welles in "The Third Man".
They're at the top of the wheel when Welles makes his famous speech about "One of those dots down there stopping ..." and "... the cuckoo clock".
Best chiaroscuro B&W lighting anywhere.
Z, I've rolled the T28 Trojan, looped it, and done spins in it. I'm not scared of that thing!
It would depend on my mood that day.
I have a problem with vertigo and edges...I'll pass!
In fact, I'll run the other way!
tmw
it's about 70-30, would you say?
Ducky..great film. inventive.
TMW.......move over..I'm running fast than you are!!! LOL!
ALTHOUGH, if I was given 1000% assurance that nothing could happen and I could get the operator to say "Yup..if you get nervous for ONE SECOND, we'll bring you down IMMEDIATELY" I'd give it a go. (ain't gonna happen..Singaporians are accomodating, but not that accomodating!!)
Did I ever tell you guys I was lucky enough to go their twice with mr Z on business and we got to stay at Raffles!? BLISS, a lifelong dream. I had always seen films set in the area and imagined what Raffles would be really like.....even as a kid I fantasized about this excellent hotel and who knew?...he men who started the Raffles chains were MY PEOPLE..Armenians! I COULD NOT BELIEVE it. I saw a little brass sign that read SARKIS BROTHERS at the restaurant going in for lunch one day and asked "hey, are you kidding?" Nope...something in my genes must have sensed it!!
AND,..neatest story...The original Harry's Bar is there..and i met a cousin from NYC for the FIRST time in our lives there..Her Mom and I are in contact (her mom is my Dad's age) and we were living in Paris and she emailed that her daughter was doing some business in Singapore in a few weeks and I told her we were, too, and so the daughter and we hooked up (so to speak!)at Harrys and had the original Singapore Slings together...I couldn't help thinking how grand my Dad would have found that, that I met his cousin's daughter in SINGAPORE!!! She was drop dead GORGEOUS, guys, and I was so proud of that lovely girl and her poise and all....what fun!
Absolutely.................................................................................................................................................................NOT!
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no
FREAKIN'
way.
i would literally cringe if i simply got next to it and looked up. i do that. when i get high up somewhere, my whole body shrinks, and i crave terra firma.....ahhhh, sweet gravity.
SO happy they gave me my comment page back the way it was! WHY do things disappear and reappear on blogs!? Frustrating!
Salubrina, I think I"m with you...but wouldn't you go up if you know 1000% nothing could happen? I'm thinking I MIGHT. IF........!!!
z, you sure the original Harry's Bar isn't in Venice?
ducky, I think you're right..Harry's is Venice, but the SINGAPORE SLING is from Harry's in Singapore...
thanks! The 3 Sarkis Brothers were all hoteliers and one, I believe, opened a hotel in Shanghai and another opened one somewhere else....very interesting story, but I Googled and can't find as much as I'd like..maybe when I find more time..thanks
i just don't think i could do it z.
no way
no how
no bama
