My Dad once tricked me into going. It was awesome. He let the neighbor kid (who was supposedly "helping out" with the bogus loading we were supposed to do) win a pack of nudie playing cards from a crane machine. I rode the wild mouse and saw my life flash before my eyes as I envisioned myself hurtling into the urban empty lot trash each turn looked down upon. Whoa. Dad. The neighbor kid is today a public spaces gardener of great renown. His father committed suicide, killing the family dog in the process.

Amazing photo!
Don't think I ever rode that one -- looks like a vomit-inducer! Let's all sing the jingle:
"Palisades has the rides,
Palisades has the fun...
Come on over!"

The wild mouse...it looks safe and slow from the ground, but oh man...
Can I post it on my flickr? :) I like it so much I want to see it every day.
Go right ahead.
Is it possible to get a print of this photo? It would be the perfect gift for friend whoe grew up going to PAP!
