I am the same way about Ferris wheels. And that's the same ride I was stuck on, also at the top.
Many moons ago, I remember that I was going to go into sixth grade that fall, I was at a local carnival with neighbors. Their son and I were pretty good buddies and we were on the Ferris wheel. We got stuck at the very top. I didn't (and still do not) like heights, so I wasn't amused. He started swinging the car. I just sat there (probably in terror, knowing me.....I really don't like heights). Eventually, we were able to get off the ride. To this day, I don't do Ferris wheels. I'll ride the highest, fastest, meanest roller coaster on the face of this earth. But you will never get me on a Ferris wheel. Not gonna happen.
Have you ever ridden a roller coaster that included loops? (I love coasters!)
Never with loops but I've ridden on lots of the old-fashioned kind. I love those.
Have you ever found someone's driver's license and mailed it back to them? I once lost mine and someone mailed it back with the request that I do the same thing if I ever found one. It took about 20 years before I found one, but I dutifully popped it in the mail.
