I have done one of these 'flight simulator' trips .. years ago, when our two children were in their teens. This was somewhere in the UK but I can't remember where. We had to queue for hours .. but it was well worth it. We had to strap ourselves into our seats, as they moved .. up/down (bumpy at times) and rotated forwards & backwards. The filming on the big screen was done in 3D so we had to wear special glasses. This really did make you feel you were right there, travelling at speed .. and if you suffered from vertigo you were in trouble! And the surprise bit was when you hit some water and visually the spray came up all over you. They actually sprayed the audience from the front, which added a bit of realism to the experience!

The end of the trip was going over the Niagara Falls in a barrel. Quite an experience!
