Finally, Terry's voice in the microphone sounds:

"Has everyone closed the doors?"
"Yes," the guests shout back at him.

"Then let’s get ready to rumble." With the sound of a loud drum the music starts

and at the same time the wheel starts again "Voulez vous..." Abba fills the air, the
lights flash, and the guests start to scream. Janokovic yanks the knife with full

force in right next to it the cabinet lock. He pulls the knife out and repeats the

manoeuvre; after the third attempt, the lock begins to give way. The Ferris wheel

The two cabin-drivers are both fully occupied at the Ferris wheel. Terry's voice

overwhelms the panicked guests.
“Stay calm! In a moment the light will be back on.” This time he sounds

desperate.

Then there is a loud scream followed by dump sounds as a female body hits the
metal bars on the Ferris wheel's arms before she hits the ground.

"Stooop! Stay in the wagons! ”
Deep silence, a scream, again the same sound of body against metal, followed by
