Tempest: The flat ride

[Bubba Z]

OK, so I went into Camden to check out the Battleship of NJ and I saw this sitting on a flat bed in a scrap yard. I then went on Flat joint to figure out what it did and wonder if it was any good? So as the topic says, has anyone ridden one of these, and if so can you still find them at carnivals ?

If you know Bruce tell him his truck is in Camden with this on it . I also saw a Bunch of other play structures like the one's you find in Mcdonald's

So have you been on this, is it any fun ?

I've never seen one of those before but I read where someone said that it was very fun, he said that while the cage moves the seats inside the cages move also.

I've ridden one. They're ok, but nothing that special. If I recall correctly, the tub you sit in turns, then the arms the tub sits on turns also. So you get waves of force pushing you into your seat. Similar in sensation to a Scrambler, only you are inclined...I dunno, 30 degrees?

I rode one at West View Park before it closed. I was very young, and remember not liking it because I was too small for the ride.

Conneaut used to have one. Nothing major. I rode it a few times.

I went on one of those this summer at a fair near my house. It's okay for a spinning flat ride, but made me sick.
