Lakemont Park has a pretty good collection of spinning rides some
of which I have never seen before like the Twister.
The Twister kind of looks like a Tilt-A-Whirl and a Whip got together and
made a baby ride.
As the cars circle on a tilted platform they can whip and spin.
If all of the weight is in the front of the car you can have an easy ride
where there is little spinning.
Or if you want a ride with plenty of spins and whipping sit in the back
of the car behind the pivot point and you will have a lot of fun like John
is here.
