Ah-ha!
I found this article:
Teacher lasts 20 hours on carnival ride, wins $1K - Yahoo! News
Which a teacher won a contest by staying on that Avatar ride for 20+hours!
I believe that the ride they describe is probably the same ride you put up a picture for.
70 feet up?
43 mph at times?
ouch!
Other then my previous post above, I hope everything is going well.
