Amusement parks are sick, but they are just not efficient, like you have to drive around to find a spot and park your car and then walk everywhere. I mean, they have figured out food and money with drive-throughs, man can drive on the moon, why can't they solve amusement parks? Wait- it seems that they have.
Dutch artist John Körmeling has built a 100 foot diameter wheel that can take four cars on a trip.
Never again will you have to stand in long lines in the sun; now you can relax in the comfort of your car with the air cranked up while you wait your turn.
That's progress! Drive in Wheel via Next Nature
And if you don't like cars, you can always go to Japan and amuse yourself on a bike-powered roller coaster.

maybe if it would take on more cars, it could help solving parking problems - drop of your car, take a nubber and when you return, the wheel will rotate and land your car, so you can leave. I have seen similar concepts to reduce land required for parking cars with elevating platforms, but this naturally would suit an amusement park. Hey, cars want to have fun too, right?
