well, they pay to 'torture' themselves

Well, after paying so much you ought to expect rides that give you more bang for your buck!
What's the point of paying more than $10 for something that spins you around so gently that you could have a drink while riding it?

at those speeds shown in the pictures your brain is going to bang against the inside cavity of your skull and what's left after the ride is a big mess of silken toufu in place of what's left of your brain. cool huh ?

Yup, tried one of the rides that day. My knees was shaking after that, almost throw up if the ride continue for another 10 seconds. There was a point of time I swear my heart was gonna pop out from my mouth.

Here's another 2 shots I took...

F/9, 1.6 sec

F/8, 2.5 sec

BTW... those pictures really good...

Thanks. You don't have to pay extra if u'r bringing camera and tripod. Entrance fee is $2.00. Rides range from $10 (2 tokens) to $30 (6 tokens). The only issue is that you need someone to take care of your stuff if you're on the ride. I took my tripod on one of the ride, have to pin it between my legs
