So, I've always heard this ride called "primeval hurl"... and I've tended to agree w/ the assessment, just watching it!!
But, this past wknd we went to a local amusement park, and they have a new ride called the WhirlWind, which I think operates very similarly to PW. (Rollercoaster w/ free-turning cars)
Well, I got up my nerve after watching it a few times and went on -- and LOVED it! I am SO not a "spinning ride" kind of person, but the cars on this coaster didn't spin continuously, and when they did, it was maybe a spin around once or twice, not super fast, as you rounded a corner or went down a hill/curve... but then they straightened out for a couple of seconds before spinning again. (Well, on our third or fourth time on, my friends rode it in a different seating position than they had been, and they spun all the time, so I guess it also has to do with weight distribution.)
So -- my question to you guys who ride it and love it -- do the cars spin all the time, and like the Teacups, or is it milder and only occassionally?? I'd really like to like this ride, as my girls are dying to try it in October, and if it's like the ride here, I'll happily join them.
But, if it's more of a continuous spin as you go around, then it would be more of a "primeval hurl" ride for me, and I'll avoid it. ;)
Thanks for the input!!
