Can Acroos this incident that happen in St Petersberg Russia, ten people were left dangling 200 feet in the air after a cable snapped on a ride called Rocket. The passenger carriage was lowered to the ground and rescue workers were able to bring all of the riders to safety. There were no reports of injuries.
I sure would have needed new underwear

Wow that's crazy and frightening. Glad the riders are okay. Looking at that ride a few months back, it would look like one of the weirdest and craziest rides I've ever seen. One of Funtime's latest creations sadly malfunctioning

Really? I haven't heard of portable one. That'd be interesting to see, wouldn't be as big though

The portable model was just a StarFlyer ride with 4 rocket cars instead of all the chairs...

Stuff riding that, looks insane. Interesting conversion they've done with the Sky Flyer to make it a Rocket. The structure of the park model and the size of it is just an eye-opener that's forsure

interesting idea. I have a feeling it would not prove as popular with the GP as the standard waveswinger seat.
Here's another design by Gerstauler using natural air-current over wings to flip seats (wow)

Now that looks like fun although it looks quite tricky to actually get it to spin

I like the look of this ride you can have as much thrill as you want, or none at all.
