Ignoring the carriages and peering straight through the steelwork it's easy to forget this structure is an amusement ride.
A giant steel spiderweb or perhaps some archaic antenna searching for extraterrestrial life. In fact anything but the fun and games of a show.
I must admit however some deep and primal part of me would rather climb a structure like that. Now that would be fun.
