Description And Comments
A “spinning tea cups†variant similar to Disney’s Mad Tea Party. In Storm Force Accelatron, up to 5 people are seated in a round plastic ride vehicle which has a metal wheel mounted in the center. Turning the metal wheel causes the ride vehicle to spin on its central axis. While that’s happening, each ride vehicle is part of a group of three similar vehicles, also spinning around a common axis. And the entire group of 12 ride vehicles is simultaneously spinning around the Accelatron’s center. It’s circles within circles within circles. Flashing lights and loud music either really enhance the experience or make it much, much worse.
Young children, teens and masochists like to lure the unsuspecting on to the ride, then turn the wheel like maniacs. Old fogies like us ride Accelatron only to see if we’ve recently developed any kind of inner ear disorder.
