'Soda can coaster,' Eram Park (Iran) —
Not only are you sitting in a soda can-shaped car, the ride plays fast and loose with physics by flinging you in such tight loops you can almost see the back of you own head, says Theme Park Guy, Stefan Zwanzger.

Rusty roller coasters of Pyongyang (North Korea) —
Pyongyang's fairground rides probably have an impeccable service record. It's just the cobwebs that suggest otherwise.

Ferris wheel, Kathmandu Fun Park (Nepal) —
Even those just watching the Ferris wheel in Kathmandu's Fun Park should take a motion sickness pill. "You could hear screams," says Zwanzger. "And these were not the normal Ferris wheel screams of 'ooooh, let's take a photo. These were more like 'argghhh, let me down, I wanna get outta here' screams."

At Fantawild, the chairoplane is less chair, more plane, lofting startled passengers up to almost cruising altitude in a creaking chair that turns wildly on its own axis.

The boardwalk ride on Baku's Caspian seafront gets its screams the lazy way: via pain. During his visit, Zwanzger was attacked by a sticky curtain that attached itself to his nose and teeth.
