MSNBC recently highlighted 11 new rides for thrill seekers. The Octotron in Mission Bay’s Belmont Park made the list! Here is what MSNBC had to say:
As the newest addition to San Diego’s beachfront amusement park, this ride never leaves the ground yet still manages to provide a good gut-churning experience. Like the mutant love child of a Tilt-A-Whirl and a tea-cup ride, it features individual cars that circle around a ground-hugging undulating track. However, instead of spinning in flat circles, each two-person car spins forward and backwards with riders controlling just how much head-over-heels (or heels-over-head) motion they can stand. “We must’ve spun upside down like 50 times,” said Robb Alvey, owner/creator of ThemeParkReview.com. “I’ve never felt so sick in my life.”
It is time to visit Belmont Park again and enjoy the ride! I will however wait until after the ride for some food.
