You mean 540.08 cm curcumfrence?

[edwardholmes91]

@coleman0505 540.35393641744443701557466192­407 if you want to be precise but that is assuming my radius measurement was accurate :P

[piderman]

Either you're really tall or this thing isn't 196cm :p

[edwardholmes91]

@piderman Hehe, no I'm really tall. I have to act short on the ride queue to Spinball Whizzer at Alton Towers because the max height is 195cm!

why is out side? what if it rains, won't it ruin the motor?

[edwardholmes91]

@bsever423 I just took it outside to do the filming because I thought seeing my back garden was nicer/more realistic that the inside of my house. Yes... if it had of rained it would of broke the motor probably and wouldn't be safe.
