We made our own funfair ride
sort of. Picture in your mind (if you will) a small very dark shed, with a typists chair in the middle, and a strobe light in each corner, sequenced to run clockwise. With the door shut this place was blacker than a very black thing, no light at all got in anywhere. So, the idea was you sat in the chair and the strobes would start. Then somebody would start spinning you around in the chair in an anticlockwise direction. we would attempt to match the speed of the strobes with the chair, the result being you head thought it was going one way, while the brain was convinced it was going the other way. oh to be 12 again.......
