You are right--it wouldn't have been fun. One of the carriages there actually had tipped over and nearly killed the occupants. After I heard that, I started looking at them more carefully and realizing how incredibly dangerous they were.

As you say, people crammed in and the rocky ride probably made some of them "carriage" sick. And what about pit stops? I'm glad I live in this time zone.Nancy J.
