    <The backwards part does get to me too. More so than any other coaster or thirll ride. It could just be that I'm getting older too! :p<

    count me in there also - it seems like since 50 a few years ago, my tolerance for certain movements is less. I was not dizzy when I got off like some of the huge spinning coasters at parks now - or Mission Space - but it was slightly disorienting for a brief time ...( of course the darn tea cups do that now also ) - LOL !
