I'd hate to ride that on a windy day. Can you imagine?

As a young teenager I lived for a time in the Canary Islands. We visited the Volcano in the center of the island. While standing near the edge there was always a swirling wind blowing that would suck your cap off your head. I imagine the winds in the Kimberly Diamond Mine could be about the same.

Did you notice at the top right corner of the picture how the cables curve up toward the surface? This picture is taken near the bottom of the ride after the cables curve out more horizontally than the upper part of the ride. This picture is after the ride has slowed down. You know after the screaming has stopped!

They appear to me to be younger young ladies quite possibly in their late teens and most probably the daughters of the ice-man. Possibly posing for the photo to be in an add for his ice business. If this were the case it could explain a few things their lack of muscular development in their arms the apparent newness of clothes and or shoes. Also note both have many similarities in their facial features the height difference could be explained as a couple years between their ages.
