Beatrice didn't appreciate why it this ride was called Tornado
until it finished and she got off,
she felt as though she'd just survived one.

I know that feeling very well. I've rode roller coasters all my life and while they are not my favorites I did enjoy them until Space Mountain down in Disney World.
On the surface I suppose its a pretty tame ride except for the fact it very disorientating because its mostly in the dark.
Throw in the fact that I am a tall guy and the roller coaster cars are very small. When I finally got off the thing I felt very lucky I still had the hamburger I ate an hour before.
Oh I've been on something similar and I know just how she felt!
Gosh I remember that feeling. Well composed, Pearl.
looks like a fun ride
perfect ... I had fun taking pix at Coney Island last summer of a ride just like that .. and the riders as they exited looked as tho they'd survived a tornado!
Wonderful write, A.A. ~~ This reminds me of Adi (Google her on my blog or read her meme from the side bar link). She lays on her back and wiggles round and round and side to side. When she gets up she looks around in a dizzy-like fashion as if asking, "Where am I?"
I am like 'Beach Bum' above, that Disney World Space Mountain Ride didn't seem safe to me. I won't ride it again. :)
..
i get dizzy looking at the photo! ha!

No way would I go on one. Prefer to take my chances with a real tornado...... though thats easy to say.

Nuts in May
Yes they can be stormy rides.
Thankyou Cloudia :)
I don't like fast or high rides Beach, I can just about manage the little rides with my grandchildren. LOL
I did them when I was younger but I couldn't do them now AJ
Cheers Valerie
Probably, but not for me Adam ;)
I can just imagine the expressions you probably captured Daryl LOL
Thanks Jim, I guess you enjoyed it more than the Space Mountain ride. LOL
Me too Bee!
I don't fancy a real Tornado either Maggie LOL
Indeed Anthony ;)
"she felt as though she'd just survived one."
Bwhahahahahahhahaha! Great finish!!!
And I'd have to agree with Beatrice. I'm one of those people who can't even go on the merry-go-round because I get dizzy on anything that spins!
And let's not even talk about the spinning Alice In Wonderland Tea Cup Ride at Disney - OY!
Happy Monday, m'dear!

I know what you mean Ron, I'm just the same!
Cute! I can feel the vertigo coming on!!
Perfect!
Love it! You wouldn't get me on rides like that, ever!!

Good one. Surviving a tornado is better that not surviving it, but it might not feel that way for a few minutes.

I can imagine how she felt as I had a similar experience years ago.
Very good! LOL Beatrice was brave! ;)
