Hi Carol, use to love going to the fair and going on the rides you talked about. The last time I went on a ride at the fair, I was sick when I came off, that was it, never again. haha. I liked the twister, I think that is what it was called. Your seat goes forward and backwards as well as side to side as the whole thing is going round. It mucks up your balance big time! had a job to walk properly after getting of that. Use to like watching the other rides, like the big wheel and this other one where you stand up and are strapped in, I think its called a Mexican hat, it looked like people were going to fall out as the thing went round. Would never go on that or the big wheel. Senn.
