NOPE.

That would be HELL for me. I have a weak stomach naturally. Lately, I've had some bug that makes me queasy with motion. I was out on the sport bike yesterday and nearly hurled in my helmet while passing some cars on the highway (no more riding for me until this bug has gone).
When I watched the scene in "Interstellar" where they achieve orbit and are watching the Earth spinning in the window, talking about needing a Dramamine... that's when I knew that space travel would never be for me. |

It started off straight up and down and I remember how deceptively violent that ride at the fair was, then it started spinning horizontally....
That would be outstanding. It's amazing how simply spinning head over heels can be so much rougher than riding many a roller coaster. That thing had a much larger range of motion, the force at the far edges of each spin are probably much rougher than you would think. |

that. still a nope for me either way but for as insane as rides are these days that looks like a kittie ride Quoted:

Looks cool, but I wonder if it goes any faster, Didn't seem to intense as is. I think you would be surprised. I rode a WAY scaled down version at the fair that simply went head over heels and a few folks looked like they were on the verge of passing out. I've ridden many a coaster and few had the effect on my body that little deathtrap had (it broke while we were riding it)

Looks like a scaled up version of the NASA MAT (Multi Axis Trainer), which was an outgrowth of the MASTIF (Multi Axis Spin Test Inertia Facility) used in the Mercury program.
MAT does not feature a pilots control panel and stick like MASTIF did. It's merely a disorientation trainer.

Quoted: I like good rides and don't back up from much. The only ones I can't take is the spinning tea cup thingies... But, I don't think I'd get on that one. Slow day at the park so my little brother and I went through the one that spins and sticks you to the wall while the floor drops out. 6 times in a row, back-to-back. Oh Lord, I puked hard after that. |

Those things never bothered me. I guess it was because the motion was all in the same direction. The thing in the OP's post would probably make me hurl. |
