Ferris wheels

Will someone please tell me why we as a people still enjoy ferris wheels? To me they are way out-dated. I mean who gives a shit about going in a giant circle buckled into a basket. I could see if the thing was to go super fast, but it barely goes what-- a blistering 3 miles an hour. Whoa! break out the five point harness's and crash helmets. Now I completely understand it being the hottest friggin thing around a hundred or so years ago when the coolest thing around was a trains and going to flicker shows. People please get with the new century, and find something that can actually entertain instead of bore you into a coma. AHHH! I think I have it! Maybe what the allure of this contraption at first was that it was a thrill-ride of sorts. By that I mean the first ferris wheels were made of wood. Now I don't know about you, but the mere thought of being any distance in the air, least of all in a WOODEN BASKET-- Well I have to tell you I get so puckered-- I pinch cotton! Picture it if you will figure this thing is new, but with everything new, and exciting-- It gets well used. On top of that little factoid, how about the fact that when they in there beginning stages ,were made out of wood. Now your on your way up in the air you and maybe a lover. Ok now your almost to the top, and you here this god awful creaking and cracking coming from your little gondola. You then stop doing everything including breathing-- hell!  one good fart that gondola could come apart on you, and you plummet to your death. Maybe that was the mystique of it at first. Now all it is is something if your high enough you can see the one thing you try your hardest to get away from-- your house!. Oh well I just don't get it, but maybe I'm not supposed to. Oh well! that's about all for now. More to come later. Remember to be good, but when that fails just go ahead and be good at whatever it is..
