Our very own Rocket Ride from the times of yore is back to haunt us, not with the usual banking, but with a price tag of $10,000. Dubbed the Classic Storefront Rocket Ride and being sold by Hammacher Schlemmer, the package ensures that you’ll feel like an astronaut waiting for the shuttle to be released and afterward. The waiting part is taken care off by the sound effects, which replicate the countdown of a space shuttle.

An electronic motor at the core ensures that all the convulsions associated with the rise and fall of the machine are intact indeed. The handlebars tame the speed of your ride (the only real feeling so as to say) but even then the entire offering does not convince me of the pricing. Maybe nostalgia-driven people will go for it considering its exterior design that evokes memories of a vintage rocket ready to take off from the base.
