This has to be the most awesome flat ride ever! Has anyone ben on it? I went on one at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo last night and I was dizzy for about 5 minutes. What do y'all think of this ride (if you've been on it)?

Do you know who makes it? It sounds awesome.

SFHouston · #3 02-23-2002, 10:36 PM

KMG makes it, you have to find one of these things and ride it...

I knew it sounded Familiar. They look like a lot of fun. It seems like it would be a fun "Experience" (Yeah I know bad pun again), but seriously KMG make some awesome flat rides.

No actually it IMO it was not sickening, but to each his/her own! I am the kind of person who gets sick on rides like the Tilt a Whirl, Spider, Teacups- but suprisingley this one didn't make me sick! I think because you are going around and you are inverted alot, when you tend to be just on a flat surface and going around in a circle you see more of the horizon which tends to get you sick!

Well at least that is how I see it!

I saw a video of this Experiencr ride and it didt go that fast on it. I wounder how fast is it ? Anyway this rude will make me sick for a week and I will never have the guts to ride it .

The KMG Website say's,

"The Experience has three main arms, that are attached to a rotating centerpiece. The main arms can go up and down. The centerpiece rotates at 10 RPM. A smaller arm is attached to the main arms, and they rotate either to the left or the right at 15 RPM. Attached to these smaller arms are the actual gondolas. With a press on the appropriate button the gondolas start making somersaults at 20 RPM, forward or backward."

That sounds great.

While your at it ask for a list of permanent installments and post it up here. I'm sure other people (like me) want to now where one is.

SFHouston · #14 02-26-2002, 01:11 PM

I wanna see the list, too. It might be a useful tool in deciding whether or not to visit a park.
