    Which Carnival ride

    gets you right in the gut?


    For me its the Hammer. I took a gf on it once. She was a sport. After it stopped I had to carry her to a grassy spot so she could lie down. It was rough and how can you whine to stop the ride?

    This is a newer verson. The way the seats are set in the pics reduces the puke factor ten fold. It has to do w/ the angle you rush headlong at the ground.

    I've never been sick or felt sick on any fairground ride, I realllllly enjoy them.

    The scarier the better but they are all getting boring nowadays.

    i dont think any of them are scary until you see the pikey gorilla at the controls.

    my real fear is throwing up.

    unfortunately all the rides i do like i am now too tall to ride.

    The old wooden roller coaster (The Giant Dipper) at The Boardwalk in Santa Cruz, California was always a big thrill, especially if you're really stoned. The ride starts out with a steep drop into darkness at the bottom of which you're jerked up by the chain that takes you to the top of the first big hill. At that point you can begin to see the coast and ocean and begin to hear the creaking of all that old wood.

    I must admit to being a serial puker at the fair; hence I stopped going to them.

    Margate Dreamworld used to have 'The Rotor'. You could ride 'The Rotor' as long as you liked for the purchase of only one ticket.....I should have seen the catch....Basically it was a giant salad spinner that stuck you to the walls unable to breathe or move whilst it span at supersonic speeds....Seriously it must have generated about 7G...The only thing that stopped you throwing up was the knowledge that the vomit would be stuck to your face at 7 times its weight until the ride stopped.
    Back off Margaret, you're on a sugar rush!
