I get woozy just looking at Storm Force, let alone riding it. Those flat ride spinners are killers for us older guys.

If it spins or swings I try to avoid it lol
If it's high, fast and scary then bring it on

I totally understand. I never ever ridden Hulk until I was 20. I'm 25. Never got to enjoy the smooth years of hulk so looking forward to it.Yeah, it was sure rough....My problem with coasters though, is more of an age thing now. When I was younger I rode all the coasters in this area (Cedar Point, Kings Island, Kennywood, Geauga Lake, Hershey, BGW) tons of times. I really loved them. But now that I'm older, and they say it's basically inner ear age affected, I get mildly nauseous on the tougher coasters, and I can't do flat fast moving spinners at all. So, while I don't really get motion sickness much on things like Simpsons or FJ, I've had to cut the big outdoor coasters like Hulk down to once during a vacation. Fortunately I don't have a problem with the milder indoor types like Mummy or Aerosmith, or even wooden coasters that don't bother me either. Age is a b _ _ _ch.
Dueling Dragons used to be smooth. Now I wont ride it some days at UNI and I go to UNI over 75 times a year at least. (That Number will certainly COME DOWN LOL)
I once ridden Dr. DOOM 15 times in a row. That was awesome lol
I never understood the fascination with spinning. I enjoy rides with a route of some sort or the ability to imitate a directional route.
IMHO spinning is designed purely to make you sick & dizzy, now where's the fun in that? Lol

The only spinning in the parks I really welcomed was Cat in the Hat. R.I.P.
Yeah, I enjoyed that. That kind of spinning doesn't bother me a bit. Sorry to see it phased out for what some say were safety reasons.
The teacups at Magic Kingdom has the potential to be the most extreme ride in Orlando.
They are when I'm riding. The kids are stuck to the side like Velcro.
Exactly. And Disney people have the gall to call FJ a vomit bag ride.
Decided to bring this back to the topic of Hulk..
Is anyone concerned they are not installing the sensors and plumbing for the brake runs yet? I know this is my first retrack but I would think now that the track is complete they could be doing that while they work on the station. It looks like that is what they are doing at Mako
The sensors and Brake fins Have to line up with new Trains .They probably will not install till after the first pull through.
Anyone seen new trains yet ?
It really depends on how long the queue and building have left until they're ready before they start on the brake runs.
Those hooks we seen on the supports recently, they're not by any chance for trim brakes? I seen this on Mako Madness.
My daughter would love riding with you. The faster the more she laughs.... both of them. Even the 1 year old wants to go fast lol She won't laugh until I get the speed up high enough for her.
So with June 10th Mako opening, are we thinking Hulk will be end of June opening? Because Hulk has been running a couple weeks behind Mako.
Not sure if Sea World really does softs, so I imagine both of these could soft open before those grand opening dates.
