Fatty on the ride :)

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!

It Scats. All over the place.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

well there is a long crossbar that is on a bearing in the middle and on each end there is the passenger gondola also on bearings. The crossarm spins at decent speed and at the same time the gondolas are spun with great speed in the same direction of rotation as the main crossarm.

Basically for a few minutes the ride alternates between 2 and 3.5 G's constant :)

Another way of saying that, is that there are two "cars", and they spin 360 degrees while the whole structure also spins. These cars are slanted probably 42 degrees. :lol: Basically, your head and body are against the seat the entire time it's going because it would be really hard to not be. You are "pushed" to it. You stand up while you riding. All Around Amusements has this ride. It's yellow, with some green on it.
