There was some outdoor summer carnival in Malibu back around 2000, it was set up in
this vacant lot.
They had a small version of the “Rotor” ride there, and I did exactly as you describe,
quickstop.
It didn't help.
I didn't vomit (I almost
never vomit, even when I have a severe flu), but
I nearly passed out, got extremely dizzy and literally thought I was going to die. My girlfriend, on the other hand, was completely unscathed. It took me about 20 minutes after the ride before I could even stand up without falling over. My friends pretty much had to
carry me out of the ride.
Let's just say I
HATED the experience and would
never do it again.
If you ever need to get information out of me, skip the waterboarding -
just threaten to put me on the Rotor ride for sixty seconds.
I'll tell you everything you want to know.
