Getting into the industry speak Fireball is a super sized
version of the old "Ring of Fire" ride by Larson International that
you might find at fair or carnival.
Ring of Fire rides had a height/circumference of 58 feet and a
capacity of twenty riders in a car that was completely and
claustrophobically enclosed.
Fireball has a height/circumference of 72 feet and a car with
twenty-four seats.
Basically Fireball is a updated and larger version of the classic
ride with nice wide open cars so you can have nothing but restraints
holding you in as you hang upside down seventy-two feet above the
loading platform.
Don't worry when you are hanging there as you have an over the
shoulder harness with a seat belt as a backup to hold you in.
