This is an Instagram video of a man constructing a “quick and easy” carnival style spinning ride in his backyard using a tree and some lumber (which was also once trees). The ride features seating for four, and is powered by spinning the riders around the tree to build tension

This is a 5K, 60FPS ride in the front row of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Shellraiser roller coaster at the Nickelodeon Universe amusement park in New Jersey.
