Zorb Idea
These balls are called Zorbs and in New Zeland they have courses where you can buy weekend packages like Snow Skiing where you roll down hills in these units. Some are very large and you can strap yourself in or do the free falling thing inside them. I have a dream to take one out on a river rapids trip or build a course where you roll down a hill like the one pictured into a rushing river and down a waterfall for the final rush. All I need now is the financial backing...any rich readers out there interested comment here. Heck even if you are not rich comment anyway it can't make matters any worse.

Now this looks fun. I figured I would puke, but I've done that before.
OMG!!!!
Can we get one of those for Durmacide??!!!

Looks like one of those balls they put hamsters in. I'd need to be stoned on Dramamine to use that sucker.
We saw one of those last year on holiday. They strap you in and off you go.... whirly whirly down the hill! NO THANK YOU! Maybe once upon a time but at 45 I think I'm maybe just a little too old for that kind of silliness. ~Sharon J
I'll do it. Must be easier than scuba diving.
Zorb is such a fun word.

You might be on to something. Get a bunch of folks in on it, get yourself a Zorb and start selling rides at events like Boomsday, Bonaroo, TVA fair!
You should see how much one costs!

I rode in a zorb ball recently and it was awesome. It truly is a different experience. I almost threw up afterwards though because i was already feeling sick before the ride. Anyways i did a little investigation to see if I could buy one for myself. Turns out there is a website that sells these zorb balls (but they call them Zorbanauts) for about $3000. Website is www.zorbasales.com . I've been in touch with the company and they seem pretty legit. I may have one myself soon!!!! Hope this helps.
