  • Magnifique.
  • That does look pretty fun.
  • We can prove that it is fun with science. If you fall, though, you'll go splat.
  • Yeah, but that lady fell off the platform, not the ride. I want to do this. Very, very much.
  • I want to do this in this (Very, very much) :
  • french teef Wonder what that smells like.
  • It's so nice and long. Not just a quickie ride.
  • Monkeyfilter: It's so nice and long. Not just a quickie ride.
  • Well, gee, it sure is great that you now have a reason to go. 'Cause, I mean, there couldn't have been any before, right?
  • Looks like great fun, no matter where 'tis. Croissants and great wine and cheese just make it all the more magnifique.
  • Well, gee, it sure is great that you now have a reason to go. 'Cause, I mean, there couldn't have been any before, right? Yeah, well, that wasn't a crack against France. Two of my daughters have been there, and one really liked it. It's just that on my list of countries that I would love to visit, France is a good distance down the list. Behind New Zealand, Italy, the UK, Greece, Austria, Switzerland, Chile. . .
  • Now this is a good reason to live in France.
  • This would be my reason to live in France.
  • That last link was excellent, don't miss it.
  • The cable thing looks like fun.
  • I'd fucking say so. I love stuff like that.
  • There's a second site (in .com) that says they're opening lines in the Ardennes (handy for me), Portugal, and Italy, plus a shorter version in the Pyrennees.
  • If I build one in my back yard, will you people move here?
  • Do you live in front of the grand canyon?
  • I wonder how they make that area a "no fly" zone? It'd be a real bummer to be buzzing along in your little prop plane and "discover" the unmarked cable between the two mountains.
  • For some reason (thinking it was that other of the human slingshot...), didn't click on that video until now. Wow. *I* want to be there. In my pajamas.
  • Gather the cash and get the rights to build wonna those across the Canadian Niagara Falls, and my friend, you have the #1 North American Tourist Attraction of all time, and a license to print money. discounting of course the insanely impossible yet requisite liability insurance.
