Wall of Death
You know the carnival ride that's
kind of like a big flat cylinder, and you go inside and stand
up against the wall, and it spins around real fast and the bottom
drops out and you're held there by centrifugal force? That's
a Wall of Death. [Laura del

"The switchback will make you crazy"
'Switchback' is a British word
for 'roller coaster.' [Laura
del Col]
"You can fly away on the rocket
or spin in the mouse"
A "(mad) mouse" is a
kind of roller coaster too - but one where the thrill of the
ride comes from the way the whole thing feels as if it is about
to fall apart, rather than speed/acrobatics. [mwogden]
