I love amusement parks, there's nothing like corn dogs, cotton candy and the shouts and screams of excitement. But I hate the stomach-turning rides like The Zipper and even the smallest roller coasters. I'm perfectly content munching on popcorn and riding the ferris wheel all day long. Ferris wheels were made for lovers, and for cowards like yours truly.

Even the world's largest ferris wheel isn't intimidating -- a ferris wheel is a ferris wheel is a ferris wheel. That's so insightful, how do I come up with this stuff?

I wouldn't hesitate to ride the world's largest ferris wheel, there's nothing like being on on top of the world and then slowly and gently coming back down. A roller coaster is a setting for action movies and horror flicks, but a ferris wheel is an excellent setting for a romance.

It's tragic that such a coward-friendly ride became a scene of horror; I can't imagine being stuck for six hours in a ferris wheel. I hope the survivors are given free psychological counseling, they've been through quite an ordeal
