I took some dizzying amusement park rides, but I don't think I ever rode that one at a playground. Fact is, I don't think I ever saw one of those until I was too old to enjoy it.
I think I had the chance to ride on one ONCE...

...when I was probably too old to be doing it. >.>
I often put my hand over the last panel for that reason :smile:
But then I get fingerprints on my LCD. :(

I wish I could ride on merry-go-rounds NOW. they took it out of the nearest park years ago :( (you guys obviously can't name it :P even though it probably has multiple names, like a see-saw/teeter-totter)

DCS should've ended the comic a year or two ago.

When I think of a merry-go-round I think of a carousel, not something on the playground. Something like this:

However, you'd much sooner find me on this beast (and yes, I have ridden this before):

Bwaahahaha, Better late than never! Yeah, I'm looking at it for the first time at 1 AM, but the wait is well worth it. 5 stars just for Millie's hair.

That playground equipment is probably safer than spinning in a washing machine.

You are a much braver soul than I :shock: I'm going to go stand with the rest of the motion sickness club here.

And yeah, the spinning effect on Millie's fur does look really cute. That came out rather well.

I don't know about a washing machine, but I've been in a dryer before. O.o;
...I was like...three.

There is a park 2 minutes walking from my house that has one of those. They are fun, and you can't really be to old to try it. I can ride it just fine. ^_^
Motion sickness, meet my cast steel-city stomach biz***h.

Wheee!

I really admire the sense of motion in this strip, and I think the background lines add to it by giving you this periodicity; you almost expect the next panel to have those horizontal lines return as though they were the blurred image of a jungle gym or something like that.

I just love those spinning things, get some strong guy to push and enjoy the feeling of having more than 1g of force sideways trying to rip you off the ride. I like the spinny things at the fair too, I'm scared of most of the other rides, so I just ride that one over and over again while loading up on cotton candy in between, so far I have never thrown up.
By the power of greyskull, I'm not sure I believe that.

I've eaten a giant turkey leg, then gotten on 3 different coasters at Orlando and STILL have never thrown up. NO RIDE CAN BREAK ME! BWAHAHAHA!

Yes! The Batman is one of my all time favorite coasters. The best though, is the X-Flight!
