Not bad, but I want to do this 1.

Yes, this one is reportedly out of this world - when it is in operating order. A friend took a day off a busy confrence schedule to experience the ride but learned upon arrival that it was closed for repair. People around him said more often than not it's the same story. Still, iof you manage to get on it must be one hell of a once-in-a-lifetime feeling shooting up that thing!
The Eejanaika is a different style of a coaster though, you're being thrown unexpectedly to several directions at once as the cars themselves rotate.

Jussi, as a professional, I can tell you that the limits are reached. Not the limits of what engineers can build but the limits for the human body.

During many years I saw the evolution. At every convention & trade show we see 1 thing: higher-faster.

Believe me, 4 G is more than enough for the average human being. If we go above that, only jet pilots, astronauts and F1 drivers will be our customers.

You wanting to do this ride proofs that you don't have fear and that you can support the G-Forces, experienced during this ride.

And some free advice for everybody to avoid nausea in a funfair ride:

1. Never do an extreme ride with a full stomach
2. Never do an extreme ride with an empty stomach
3. Never close your eyes on a ride

If you follow these guidelines, my staff will be very grateful. (Less cleaning up, ifyuknowwhattamean!)

Ok! But what about those catapult things - meaning the round cubicles that are stretched down between two high poles, and get shot upwards bungee style? I've sort of wanted to go on those but my wife told me they may be harmful for your neck as the seat gets realesed with a very sudden and powerful jerky motion. I once approached the ticket booth and indeed, there was a notice freeing the management of all possible injuries...
I'm personally unable to stomach very fast circular motion like The Hellhole, linear g-forces I don't feel so bad with. I thought I could not go on any of the pendulum rides where you sit on a revolving arousel thing looking outwards, and get swung very high 360 degrees. Then just recently I read these rides somehow do not cause nausea, just a wonderful floating feeling? Can this be accurate?

Jussi, try the Imperator, FUN!



Or better, a Sledge Hammer, FUN FUN!



The catapults are fun. My cousin has one. It's like being launched in a rocket, FUN!
