Gravity - June 14-04

Yesterday was the return of the sun day. In the afternoon it turned sunny and warm and we made a step to Antwerp where the yearly fancy fair takes place.

I love fancy fairs and those "body shakers and killer machines" are among my favourite.
I tried this one a few times and the excess gravity of some 6 to 7 G is amazing. One realy feels like a pilot of the T-Birds or Blue Angels and when you get off, the soil is somewhat soft under your feet.
But for me, such pleasures should never end.

something similar like that here too, with two seats - a lot of Gravity in it, i am not interested to try it :-)

Wow!! It looks pretty crazy! I would have to try that one for sure! :)

What great fun, Lou. And thanks for the inset to put it in perspective.
Better them than me.

Ahhhhhhh! I feel like I'm going to be sick! Not over the image, but the thought of being on such a ride... :-)

That looks like a cool ride, does it go all the way around? Nice capture though.
