Oh dear god.

Most every time I ride a Scrambler ride, at one point or another I either think or say "Wouldn't it be cool if you could put like giant markers under each car and make a Spirograph drawing?"

Well, someone's gone and done it with airbrushes instead of markers. It's beautiful to see the ride's pattern come out, isn't it?

Ditto -- or rather, it's kind of okayish when they go up, but when the come back down it is unhappy times.

I was obsessed with Spirograph as a kid. Round and round and round and round!

I usually didn't have the manual dexterity or patience to make a whole Spirograph drawing without letting the gears slip and mess it up somewhere. (But looking backward, I find that my parents let me play with the set when I was remarkably young, considering it was an age when many kids would be in danger of swallowing the little pins.)

Later, they made gadgets that made it easier.

...Also, googling for "Spirograph" reveals many fine Java applets.
