OOH! The new trebouchet rig! Could be a real hit!



I want to build a trebuchet on my old dock ruin, so I can sell rides
to tourists and finance the reconstruction of the dock.

I wonder how many riders I might get, and what I should charge. I
mean, if people go for bungy jumping, why not trebuchet rides?

The dock ruin is about 25 feet wide and 100 feet long, all torn up
by the river ice. It looks like a bunch of rocks and old tree
trunks, cribbing all scattered nearby.

Could I charge a little more because the riders would be landing in
fresh water?

IIRC, the acceleration will kill you when you are being lanched. But flying
through the air when you are experiencing your last moments in life has got
to be worth something to some people. I don't think I'd call these
travellers to the neither worlds tourists though...

Yes you could. I assume some people would be very happy to be burried in
fresh water, rather than sea or in the ground.
