Ah yes, the Bear Affair comes to my hometown every July. I will never ride it again, at least with my friends who can't handle their liquor.

LMAO!! that must be so awesome

This reminded me of a few video clips I had of my friends getting some impressive RPMs out of rides... So I threw them up on YouTube.... (pun semi-intended)

 

First is my friend Scott going solo on Canobie's "Over the Rainbow", (a Zamperla Samba Tower), as Erik and I are in the next basket. Unfortunately, the lower video quality and the fact that it's night make it a little difficult to pick out how fast he's spinning at times. And I wish the video had picked up clearly the massive creaks that were coming from his basket.

There was another time when I didn't have the camera, Scott along with my friend Brian were in one of the tubs together, and were spinning it so quickly that their weight pushing outward apart from each other caused the tub to warp to the point where the door popped open because the latch no longer met the strike plate. And they hadn't even gotten off the ground yet.

 

The other video includes a cameo of USRoadTripper (aka Julie) of Brian, Scott and Julie on the teacups at SFNE. Julie's hair flying horizontally outward from the cup a few times is funny. I just wish I'd been able to zoom in more. Hopefully this year with my new camera I'll have some higher quality spinning videos...

(It wasn't until I re-watched this video that I noticed toward the end of the ride one skinny kid by himself had gotten his cup going pretty good, too)
