#WinterWonderland #ThemePark #BungeeJump #London

London London is falling down
I've seen many videos like this, I'm never riding a theme park ride again, I don't need thrills like that
Rubber based repeating rides and winter weather.
What a mix.
Typical…the line was imported from China and made of paper probably!
The second bungee absorbed the energy quite well and overall, nothing major happened, just a little different angle on the slingshot and a bump.
Don't think it snapped. It look like it come free somehow.
"I knew these things were rigged" XD
That's normal in London. Nowhere is safe starting from schools!
if its not myocarditis killing youg men then its fair ground rides…. what a country.
Another ride off the list.
Aur karo majje
Choose the worst human being in this video (3 Points)
1. Slingshot machine operator
2. A person who knew that the machine is rigged but didn't notify the riders.
So thats why they call it Winter Wonderland! š„š„
Shouldnāt use rubber bands in the winter. Fool.
The chances of me ever doing bungee just went from 0.01% to a flat 0%.
safety first
āWonderlandā š
"Dont worry it's part of the ride"
The Greates Great Britainš¬š§
What an absolute m*%Ā£n to say 'I knew it, it's rigged', A: hiw thick are you, B: what about the occupants!!!!š”š
Thereās two reasons which make me feel sick and not very welcomed to this year winter wonderland and I havenāt been yet:
First: there was one stabbing this year
Second: rides that need maintenance and fixing
Cheers no thank youā¦
I have not been on a ride since Final Destination
No1 was hurt so no big deal just get the ride reopened
i had this thought when i went there less than a month ago. the theme park is too big and it has too extreme rides, especially knowing it basically operates every winter only and has to be reconstructed over and over
first a guy gets stabbed outside winter wonderland and now this dont think ill go to london i want to live
Uhhh I don't get it. What's so distressing? That was nothing.
This is getting all the time now. In the last year , the amount of ride crashes I have seen. Own happened at Cardiff winter wonderland last month.
I'm started to think we should just get rid of rides till maintenance can get their acts together and actually maintain rides properly. They have become very dangerous now
Thank goodness for two ropes and not one ! ā¦..li will always give this type of ride a miss !
