Boarding of the capsule is done without stopping the wheel
There are even nets to catch disgruntled falling hordes!
They even have nice compass maps with can double for Kacump Puteh snacks as well!
So here we set off on our 50cm/second journey
they shut you in for the whole ride! (theres only door handles on the outside)
The capsule is filled up with about 15 people before...
I peek with my little eye
Here comes our capsule of death!

I never got so interested in Ferris wheels before, but oh well just being the kids I was!
