Had an idea jump in my head while at work earlier today.
Could a BI-directional winch ride be made with 2 winches hooked together?
The lines could be hooked together end to end to a ring. another rope (10 ft maybe) with a handle connected at mid way.
three people minimum of course would be needed to ride:
2 for running the winches
1 rider
the spool on the winches would have to be releasable i imagine and the one not pulling would have to be released. so the ride would not be continuous.
1000 ft line would be a good length, since only half could be used at a time (- a couple ft.) giving about 500 ft riding distance.
a ride would be limited to ride on toeside or heelside only unless the rider jumps over the winch rope(s) or if the winches are on a hill up high ;)
