Get properly drunk, sit in one of these

Pretty much the same effect.

Can it possibly be as nausea-inducing as the Disneyland Teacups ride? That thing should be used by NASA to train astronauts.

I threw up a little just watching the video.
This is a hard NO WAY IN HELL for me.

Probably. It’s likely also why the ground underneath the ride is wet, and has a garden hose already out and ready to wash it again.

I’m with you, I got about 30 seconds into it and said “Hey, let’s see what the comments say!”

I notice it doesn’t really move that fast. I’m guessing any faster and you’d have astronauts puking.
This is the promotional video? Check out middle guy at 38 seconds in…he’s either losing consciousness or about to lose his lunch.
I’m puking right now!

I love that kind of motion, but I’d only ride that ride with a full face shield and rain poncho.

Isn’t that the machine from Contact? Glad they found a use for it after the movie.
