Ooh, it's a Wisdom Tornado. Those are fun

They're pretty common rides these days. They replaced the Tilt-A-Whirl I used to run with one of these. They're fun, I guess, but if you're in the mood for a crazy spinning ride, you need to find an orbitron.

I can't ever find picture of the orbitron, but it's very similar to a scrambler - except the cabins rotate to be perpendicular to the ground. The only park that has one of these is Busch Gardens Williamsburg, and it's named The Flying Machine.
