Thrillseekers want their kinesthetic sense disturbed—that’s the whole point. But push the drama too intensely and a person may never come back again. Ride designers must walk that fine line between safety and danger, while balancing the physical stress on the body. The truth is, thrill rides are designed to induce some level of discomfort. But what’s too much? Throwing up? Whiplash? Blacking out due to g-force?

Emily Latimer loves theme park rides. Unfortunately, they often make her run for the nearest trash can. In her new Longreads essay, she dives into the history of amusement parks and the advancements in ride technology to understand what goes into creating the perfect ride experience—and why some people are prone to motion sickness.

Read “I Think I’m Going to Be Sick” on Longreads.

Some gems from Hemswell today!

1 and 2 - very cool vintage children's rides, the sort of thing I'd buy in a heartbeat if I was rich. My mum said they're older than her (she was born in 1969)

3 and 4 - strange animal foot stools (?)

5 - a definitely cursed glass clown

6 - obligatory uncomfortable dolls

7 - a corner of taxidermy featuring an actual lion. There were also some taxidermy moles made to look like axe murderers in one of the cabinets (not pictured)

8 - HER

9 - a gorgeous lithograph I would kill for. Unfortunately it was £75 and neither me nor my mum could afford it 😔

10 - potentially one of the best, and weirdest things I've ever seen: a rocking horse tricycle. Definitely adult sized too. Another thing I'd buy in a heartbeat if I was a millionaire

All at Hemswell antique centres, UK

Disneyland, April 1963. A view of Tomorrowland from the Skyway. From this vantage point you can see the Douglas rocket, the Space Bar, the Yacht Bar immediately below (as well as the Monorail’s beam), and the Astro Jets.
