@HardwareGeek Same. Some people get motion-sick easily. And those same people tend to be quick to forget all about it. Every damn time we go to an amusement park, my wife picks a "looks tame enough" machine, ignores my warning, and then spends the rest of the day trying to hold her breakfast in.
I love all the rides. I remember in HS at a state fair there was this ride that spun on 3-axis. I couldn't get anyone to go with me, so I tried to go myself but the pod (for lack of a better term) required two people. I eventually got someone to go with me.
Years ago, we took the kids to Coney Island. The boys have made it clear the wildest ride they will go on is the Log Flume.
We took the girls on the roller coaster. They were barely tall enough, one with me, the other with my husband.
The first downhill, they're screaming "I want to get off."
The safety features are a bar, no seat belt. The first hill I realized they are each thin enough to fall out. I put my arm across her to hold on to the other side. Yeah, I realize my arm is probably not strong enough to stop her from falling out.
We get a bit of food after that excitement. Then go on something more tame.
The tilt-a-whirl sounds perfect. They both left their chocolate milk on the ride. I told the kid running the ride, he's like it isn't chunks, no worries.
I love the loop to loops, upside down, straight drops, spinning in every direction (which is funny now that I get vertigo-relating to my hearing).
The only rides I don't like are the boring ones.
