...outside of the experience. I felt like an entomologist observing some strange, yet strangely familiar new species. Then I realized what I was seeing: a 1930s movie in contemporarily grungy garb. And I don't mean that as a compliment to Knocked Up - that it has a clever plot or dazzling dialogue.

But in clever combination with a powerful Buttkicker audio system, which lets riders feel sound, strong vibrations, timed seat compressions and video cues, the rider is tricked into feeling acceleration, G-forces and weightlessness...
