pete4winds Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 The only time I can think of ever getting sick on a flat was years ago at Canobie Lake. I had a big pizza lunch then went on Turkish Twist 34 consecutive times. Damn you, Canobie Lake Park pizza!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazen_AZN Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 The only ride that made me feel a little wierd before was a Megaloop at a fair. That was only one time though, and iv been on them plenty. So i think I'm good to go for most flats... Too bad that can't be said for the kids at SFMM, i had to escape from three flatrides today with kids who thought they were about to throw up. Obviously, they always have to be right next to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I can take stuff, it still appears from my current trrip to Playland, that "big circle rides" I can handle. I am still a bit leery of taking on an Octopus, after my bad experience many years ago with one. (Too fast, too many spins --- ooooops blleaaaaahhhh!) But, I enjoyed the Breakdance, did the old Scrambler there, AND The Enterprise which actually surprised me with (what I call) a Full Vertical Upright for a few spins. But Octopusses (pusses?), I'm still gonna steer clear of, for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I have never been on a ride that has made me sick! I can go on any ride right after eating a big meal and not get sick! BTW, Rush at Thorpe Park looks awesome can't wait to ride it in June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippyTrick09 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I haven't gotten sick on a roller coaster or a flat ride (yet), but the only ride that scares the ever scared me was The Zipper. That ride scares the ever living CRAP out of me, and I don't know why either.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 OMG ^ i LOVE the zipper! LeSourdsville lake had one when they were open (groan.. come back LeSourdsville!), and like you said, it scared me but I don't know why either. It just feels unsafe, but man is it crazy... I wish more parks had them around here, like a park that's currently OPEN, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierced_b0i Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Time Warp at Geagua Lake..The only spinny ride that bothers me..It gave me the worse headache and my ribs hurt so bad after..Maybe thats why no one rides it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadromanticx Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 The two rides that make me the sickest are Teacups and Huss Frisbees (I imagine giant frisbees would be worse, but I've never ridden one). At SFFT, I rode them one after the other. BIGGEST. MISTAKE. EVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGEST. MISTAKE. EVER. I havent ridden any giant frisbees ever, but they might not be worse as they spin alot slower than the regular frisbee rides.

shepp Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Yep, the Frisbee. The perfect alignment of rotation and G-shifts to make my gorge rise. Just the thought of it makes me queasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffcub Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Hello all, I am not sure what these flat rides are called elsewhere in the world, but we have the Gravitron in Australia, in which you get in an enclosed spaceship-like thingy and it spins and spins and spins while you slide up the walls. It's simply appalling - makes you feel like you have an instant hangover and quite often has made me hurl afterwards. Luckily they seem to have been phased out over the years!

Timpowes Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I haven't been to many parks, so many times. But one time when I was around 7 years old, I rode a swinging ship in the late evening. That made me feel like I was going to puke (maybe because I didn't eat anything on the entire day). Ever since I rode it, I've never stepped my foot on one.

Jon Sabo Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I have two moment of feeling queasy but did not actually throw up. One of the conditions I believe was heat/humidity-related and both incidents involved (how did that line go from movie..Coneheads?)...."massive consumption of liquid refreshments known as alcohol... 1st incident...at PKD (forgot name) but the buccaneer-type ride that does complete inversions... and 2nd incident (damn this is embarrasing)..but the old SEa Dragons ride at BGE (where AP is now I believe)...but we kept riding that thing like 3 times in a row..spinning the car around...and my stomach was really churning up the Italian food/wine and good ole brewery Busch samples ...mmnm lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XII Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I can't get sick on anything even if I eat a fullcourse meal right before it. The only flat I dislike is Megaloop. I never got sick. I just feels too dangerous and will not ride another one until I feel the restraint system is safe. Zipper rules!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trustkill22 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Ugh. Im fine with flats like the round-ups and stuff but when it comes to Enterprises thats a nay nay. I don't mind it for the first 30 seconds but after that when its to it max vertical lift thing I just can't take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookbaby Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I can handle anything (whether I've eaten or not) fro roller coasters to spinning flats. Unfortunately for several of my friends they do not share the same gift as Xcaliber at SFStl made apparent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runnerodb83 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I CANNOT ride a "Zipper" style ride...these are death...so it says in the article also... I don't know how common they are, but I rode my first and last at The Evergreen State Fair in Monroe, WA.

krouvi Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I think this should go to Breakdance. I can enjoy a short program but when the ride op decide to be "nice" I can not stand it. I actually puked inside once as it was really too much for me and it just kept spinning forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tömmioh Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Sometimes a HUSS Booster and some swinging ships and some very spinning Afterburn - resembling rides, makes me feel quite sick. I have never felt even a little 'sick' on or straight after a coaster, except for a Reverchon spinning coaster, which spun like hell once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neovortex2k Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 There is a travelling fair which comes to Ireland ever year and it is basiclly our only good amusement park with loads of flat rides and 2 coasters! But this year the had the beast and worst flat ride i've ever been on in my life. The best was called Booster http://www.themeparks.ie/fairs/2005fund/booster-1.htm But the worst i have ever been on and i mean the worst is Extreme.It is sooo sore and painful and yes extreme.I love extreme rides but this one goes that bit too far and wrecks ya!! http://www.themeparks.ie/fairs/2005fund/extreme-1.htm http://www.themeparks.ie/fairs/2005fund/extreme-2.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin22025 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 The Gravitron is the only flat ride that makes me feel sick. I think that if the ride operators wouldn't run the ride for so long at one time, then it would not make me feel sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I haven't met a flatride yet that makes me sick, though the floorless Huss topspins really hurt the boys, even more so than the Chance Inverter. There's just something about not being able to brace your lower torso that leads to lots of flopping around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're called the Gravitron here in North America, too. And then there's various versions of (more like differing facades) of the 'infamous' Rotor which ultimately does the same thing, only you're vertically held against the wall, with the floor lowering below you. Quite twisted. And there's usually an overview gallery for the next riders to use to watch what they're going to experience...... next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
