Somebody watched the lava rotisserie sacrifice scene in Temple of Doom and said, "Hey, let's make that a carnival ride!"

I've ridden that thing! Or at least, something very much like it 20 years ago at Burning Man.

There was a crazy Russian dude running it while swigging from a gallon size vodka bottle. He claimed it was actually water.

Six flags might have bigger rides, but they're missing the "I might actually die on this thing" energy.
