Only if you could get your drunk friend to try it.

I'll try any insane amusement ride once...unfortunately the Trebouchet looks like I might only get the experience once.

Trebuchet:
I have a short list of people who may not enjoy this ride, but I'd seriously enjoy seeing them on it (especially if you let me loose with a monkey wrench a few minutes before their ride). |

RE the trebershay er treblecleff er trvorshane er tree bushy er the big wooden thing that fires you through the air………
Well it does look Fudged up just as you said AND it is! In fact a guy got killed using it ….. the price went up from £40 a go to £80 just to cover the insurance and you had to fill in a “I don’t mind if I get killed being fired from the catapult thing as I’m a mad man” form to go on it.
