Well, you see, they want to get their young people accustomed to the fear of imminent death. That way, when the fascists invade, the mere whizzing by of bullets doesn't bother them anymore. The previous "Locked in a room with a pack of hungry wolves" and "Ivan, the drunken wrestling Kodiak Bear" rides weren't successful due to low popularity, so they came up with this.
Yeah, but would YOU ride this if I paid for your ticket??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, maybe if they made Ivan a junkie bear it'd be more popular. "Ivan? One of these humans has your 'special medicine' on him or her. Find it." Bears + Heroin + Withdrawal = A thrill ride for the whole family and hours of fun away from the collective!

I'd ride that in a heartbeat! Multiple times.

You could make it a lot more fun by taking out the regular seats and replacing them with some Martin Baker 0/0 ejection seats. Last one to pull the handle wins a prize. The Navy would buy that to train pilots and aircrew (they buy every other piece of junk, why not this too?) Just mount it over a swimming pool. Beats the heck out of the Dilbert Dunker and Helo Dunker.

Fatalism is an intrinsic part of the Russian psyche.

So, from a religious perspective, you're saying they should ditch the Orthodox Church, and go with hyper-Calvinism? ;)

Lemme put it this way, The rampant alcoholism in Russia today is the symptom, not the disease.

Yeah. You're dealing with people whose language organically evolved to invent a suffix that means "the terrible time of."
And may I say, from a moral point of view, I think there can be no justification for shoving snack cakes up your action.

You would have to put a gun to my head to get me on one of those things. I'm all for taking risks, but I like to be in control of my fate, or at least have a reasonable illusion of control.
