Mon 1/21/2008 12:12a | Was I the only one who was completely bored with the swinging cars? Yah, sure, they were kind of scary at that one point where you swing out past the edge of the wheel itself, but it's pretty clear that you're not going anywhere. Since you only go about halfway to the top of the wheel, you don't get that great of a view (not terrible, but not worth waiting 20 min for). It also wasn't enough of a thrill ride (for me at least, but apparently I'm alone in that category) to do that wait again unless I was with people who had never done it and really wanted too. For what it's worth, I was with one other person, and we were paired up with another couple, and it was just kind of awkward. I don't know if this made it less scary or not, but it was fairly memorable, all things considered. |

Um...Hey, give it a shot and report back. |

I have no fear of heights. I just hate ferris wheels. |

Mon 1/21/2008 9:27a | yeah i myself also can not do the swinging gandolas. i have to go on the non swinging one. I used to have a thing with ferris wheels but i feel fine on disneys version only if it is the non swinging though. You have a lovely view of the entire resort as well. |

We found it a great deal of fun, actually, to be placed with another couple. This last time it happened to be two Italian girls in their 20's, one of whom was scared to death and cursing in Italian, the other of whom wasn't scared and was taunting her (in English) with things like "What? This is it? This is all the swing? This is NOthing! Don't be such baby." Which just made the other one curse more in Italian.
Which made it a fun and memorable ride for us. :) |

I have done it 4 times now and once I was fine. Two times I got a bit sick and once was bad.... but it is still a fun ride. |
