Why Japanese Are Healthier Than the Rest of Us – Pedal Powered Roller Coaster

Posted by Bill Belew on September 25th, 2008 in Japan | No Comments

There’s yet another reason why Japanese are among the healthiest countries on the globe.

How about a pedal-powered roller coaster? Good googie moogie to be sure.

Imagine pedaling this thing up the hill before going back down the hill and running out of steam while part way up with someone coming up from behind. Yikes!

If truth be told, I’d pay to see that happen as long as nobody got hurt.

Greenpacks thinks this is a great ride to put in a green amusement park. Only people power. Why not?

As for me, I just need someone light and powerful to ride alongside.

How about you? Are you up for a people pedal powered roller coaster ride?

    Japan has got to be the only place on earth that you could have this kind of ride. You couldn’t buy insurance for this in the western world.
