He said: "What are we getting ourselves into? Mate, I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this anymore. Oh no."

As the ride starts he begins laughing in sheer belief and says "it's so cold" while his eyes remain shut.

The clip gained over 13,000 views and collected many comments from people who wanted to share their thoughts on the attraction.

One person said: "I was going to go on it but when we looked up from the ground we felt sick."

Another comment reads: "How are so many brave enough to bring their phones so high up."

One person simply said: "It's dangerous'".
