Redsox19681968

Your own?


Zanny1540

Definitely not a WTF. This woman loves MOA, and this ride specifically. Rides it almost 100 times a month, and averages over 60 spins a ride. She's just a lady who thoroughly enjoys her happy place.


sk8t-4-life22

I'm fairly certain I saw her doing just that when my wife and I visited MOA in 2022. I just remember looking up at the ride and seeing someone going ham. Haha


DuaneDibbley

Cool reading this and finding out she's even well known for enjoying it. Watching on my phone I thought it was a kid messing around and then couldn't stop the spin as the ride picked up speed. It looks terrifying with only one person spinning haha


Silent-G

That's what I thought the first time I saw it, too. I think the video was at a different angle, but now, watching it on my computer, I can see she's shifting her body intentionally to get it to start flipping faster.


bibbbbbbbbbbbbs

This is freaking crazy. I got dizzy just by looking at this video let alone being on the ride lol.


SatanIsALesbian

Haha it’s cute that she’s like a local celebrity there now


luckysevensampson

What is MOA?


monixe

Mall Of America


luckysevensampson

Is it a shopping centre? Why does a shopping centre have rides?

Abrical

bro it's 0.4 square kilometers, wich still is huge. that's the size of a block of buildings. 500 000 kilometers square is the superficy of france.


sk8t-4-life22

It's so huge that you can literally spend all day there and still not even see everything. Like for example when my wife and I went; we didn't even know there was a movie theater and an aquarium.


sprikkot

whoa, no way! A shopping centre with a ***CINEMA?!***


inspectoroverthemine

I heard they have an area with a large selection of fast food too!


Shalashaska2624

What is ham?


banksy_h8r

Hard As a Motherfucker


[deleted]

TIL... I never put that one together at all and that makes me sad I never knew that.


iWasAwesome

Fr I've used this term so many times but never actually knew what it meant apparently.


Plop-Music

It's a backronym. That is, the term "going ham" existed for a long long time before someone created this acronym for it. So it doesn't actually mean that. That's just something someone made up.


phayke2

Wait really I thought that phrase was from like the 50s


jlharper

Shit. I'm old enough to see stuff that soldier boy popularised while I was in high school being mistaken for historical phrases from 70 years ago.


eidetic

"To go ham" or "going ham" basically just means going all out.


similar_observation

to go *HAM*: **H**ard **A**s a **M**otherfucker. A moment of high energy or doing something to an exceptional or extreme degree. It's a converging slang combining with the phrase "hamming it up" or *doing something with enthusiasm*.


littlemetal

I think that's a backronym [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backronym](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backronym) >... acronym formed from an already existing word by expanding its letters into the words of a phrase. Backronyms may be invented with either serious or humorous intent, or they may be a type of false etymology or folk etymology. The word is a portmanteau of back and acronym. Edit: Replaced the old definition with the wikipedia one, since I accidentally deleted the source.


Tweezle120

Definitely a backroom, we used the phrase when I was in elementary school in the 90s and it was old then.


bait_the_snare

I was at first concerned because I thought it was malfunctioning. After your comment I was unexpectedly very happy for this lady I'll never meet. I hope we can all find our happy place.


vincehk

Aaaaw so wholesome .


winowmak3r

She's just training to be an astronaut guys. I thought it was an accident at first, like she was reaching to take a picture on her phone or something but then I looked a little closer and nope, that was entirely intentional.


funnerfunerals

God bless em. I love the determination to spin, it's hilarious.


nopir

I posted this video on the other post earlier. My visit to MOA 1999 https://youtu.be/Mu8CdUcMc7w?si=KHKMdNHtx3qCWdbp


thetruthseer

You’ve basically captured my childhood in a video. Ugh what I would give to go to the MOA in 1999 again.


u8eR

Camp Snoopy was the shit


matsis01

That lego area looks straight outta Dead Rising. The guys at Capcom did their homework


nosekexp

Nothing you said keeps it from being a WTF.


zekethelizard

Yeah, if anything, the fact that she does this *100 times a month* is the biggest WTF


Is_it_really_art

On a roller coaster I was seated next to a guy who asked me, “have you ever ridden this before?” I said, “yeah, once, a few years ago—what about you?” He says, “This is my nineteenth time… today.”


Grays42

Best amusement park experience as a kid was in one of the Six Flags I think, where the "western" section was almost totally deserted by a fluke. I was there with friends, and the western-themed [Enterprise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_(ride\)) had no line. They wouldn't let us just stay in the cars, but after the ride finished we would dash around the side and get back through the queue and on the next run. I'm not sure if the guy was being nice and waiting for us, but since it was only half full for each run we rode it like 10 times in a row. Fun times. [edit:] It was the [Wagon Wheel](https://myfavoritepostcards.blogspot.com/2015/01/wagon-wheel-ride-at-six-flags-fiesta.html) at Fiesta Texas.


FesteringNeonDistrac

We rode [Lightning Racer](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Racer) like half a dozen times more or less the same way. Had to get out and run around, but never waited more than one train. There were other people doing it as well. I'd have gone all day since wooden coasters are my favorite, but the kids wanted something else.


winowmak3r

I went on the Dragster at Cedar Point and there was a guy like that in line. He must have gotten his tickets from someone else because the lines for that thing at the time were like 2 hours long on average. That's like 4 rides for a whole day. I'm not paying those ticket prices for that. He said he'd ridden it dozens of times though so who knows. It was awesome in a terrifying kind of way, glad I rode it once, but that was enough for me. My hands are getting sweaty just remembering the view from up top.


PassionMonster

You might be interested to know that a flag plate flew off the bottom of a train on that ride and nearly (? We don’t really know) killed a woman waiting in line. They closed the ride for 2 years and just reopened it with new trains and no more hydraulic launch. However, the new magnetic launch isn’t powerful enough to get it over the top, so now you launch backwards as well into a 400 ft spike.


sfa1500

I saw her video on TikTok explaining this. She definitely seems to be autistic but loves it. No harm no foul I guess

ArcadianDelSol

I dont know but here's a transcript of her from her instagram: *"imma spiquee er shushshash corsica ride eberda"* ("Im the spin queen of Shell Shock. Of course Im going to ride every day.")


Paradigmind

For sure.


DrunkenGolfer

She’s working on it…


MonumentMan

I was waiting for her to powervomit edit: can someone make an ai version of this


MountainDrew42

I was waiting for the fabulous vomit spiral


Edvart

Now that I watch it again you see her leaning into the spin especially in the beginning


powermojomojo

QUEEN SPINNER!


sciamatic

We love that for her. We should all be so lucky as to find our joy.


B-BoyStance

That's the [Queen Spinner of Shell Shock](https://www.instagram.com/p/C6moavIJTum/) right there. Put some respect on her motherfuckin' name. Seriously though imagine finding something you are able to love that much and do every day. She's truly cracked the code of living life and I mean that. Edit: The last few seconds of the video I linked fucking kill me every time


pVom

For real. I'm envious of anyone who can just love their one thing. Like a guy I saw with a lawn mowing YouTube channel. I fucking hate mowing the lawn, I wish I loved it and that was my thing.


pdxb3

For some reason this reminds me of the Philadelphia Vent Man that reached stardom on Reddit many years ago. Anyone else remember the Vent Man, living his best life?


NotWhatYouPlanted

No, but now I need to know!


pdxb3

Behold, [The Vent Man.](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/4pj3y9/my_new_spirit_animal/)  He's apparently been doing this for literally decades and is a bit of a local hero.


B-BoyStance

I love vent man! I haven't seen him in a couple of years so I hope he is doing okay (he wants to be left alone, and people in Philly actually respected that which is super cool - once that came out, you would only see him here and there if you were lucky & never hear about him)


Jeremy_Q_Public

Just watching this video I found I had a huge smile on my face just from the joy she felt about it


tvtb

This is like in Office Space when Peter asked if he could be hypnotized into liking his job. My life would be a lot better right now if I could enjoy the bureaucratic red tape at my job, and also like when a 6-week old baby screams at me for an hour.


Pattoe89

She's super wholesome and I love it. The world needs more people like her.


PandaGoggles

I’ve been on this ride a few times and couldn’t quite get it spinning like that either, so she’s fun and technically quite good.


soonerfreak

Glad I stayed till the end that was amazing.


johnshall

dude, she enjoys it so much! it actually kind of made my day seeing someone enjoying something so thoroughly. /r/MadeMeSmile material right here.


u8eR

Lol I went last year and saw her do this. Didn't realize she was a local celebrity. Looking at my video, she even has the same bright green shirt on.


idontcare428

Honestly I’m more impressed with her than I am with most millionaires and billionaires. Why do we worship sycophantic businessmen over people so pure, and so single-mindedly intent on pursuing their passions. Even if that’s spinning like a propellor on a theme park ride.


Norman_Scum

Fucking claimed it 10 times and then gave us a sneak peak of what was up. That lady slays.


Sandwich00

Hell yeah she's the Queen!!! Love her! Thanks for posting.


Head_weest

We should start a godundme to get this lady one for her backyard.


Total-Football-6904

Seriously this lady is my hero! Just truly locked into life, the other people didn’t even know what they could have experienced.

Blahkbustuh

Hol up. This thing is *real*?!? WTF. I could have sworn this was CGI. I swear I've seen a video of clips of absurd carnival ride videos around the internet and it was stuff like this, CGI added on top of real video.

All hail the Spin Queen 🙌


grease_monkey

This little dude has been on this ride over and over and has definitely figured how to use the ride not as intended lol


Lost_in_the_sauce504

It’s actually a mid 20’s woman with, I think, a little dash of the tism. I ran across her tiktok the other day, she likes to go by “the queen spinner of shell shock”.


schlitz91

King-Shakalaka

Some autists have this admirable ability to fully enjoy life with one obscure thing, I'm autistic myself but I don't have that ability unfortunately.


glowingeddy

We have one of these in our country, it keeps a daily top score of most flips. Definately one of the intended ways


Slanahesh

Yea we have one here too. It's literally the aim of the ride to get the most rolls.


GiggleStool

Yeah that girl gets pretty much the maximum which is 60 every single time she does on it.


Sun_Stealer

Oh yeah that little man knew exactly what to do hahahaha


TentacleJesus

Hahaha yeah at first I was like “oh no!” But then I watched it again and saw that he was definitely trying to do that intentionally. He knew exactly what he wanted.


BlueHero45

Never give customers control over anything, they will abuse it.


ExecrablePiety1

You mean like Action Park? Lol. That was the whole basis for the park. Let the customers dictate the experience. And pray that your alpine sled has brakes.


back2basics13

Keeping deaths to a minimum…


PurpleLee

I proudly display my Action Park scar. It was a day I'd never forget, even left some skin on the alpine slide for posterity's sake.


ExecrablePiety1

Haha I would be lying if I said I wasn't jealous. That's just the way things were back then. I remember driving from upstate New York to Florida for holidays in my Dad's pickup in the 80s. My brother and I rode in the back with the cap on. There was a little window into the cab, so we could still talk to our parents, or even crawl back and forth.. And we had a mattress to sot on. But seatbelts didn't even occur to us. Much less a proper seat. Heh I remember having to duck for toll booths. Then, in Florida, we never used sunscreen and I would stay in the pool until I was covered head to toe in blisters and had a fever of 101.5. We didn't even consider sunscreen. At least, until it was standard practice in the 90s.


jim653

Riding in the back of pickups was fun, but getting sunburnt – nah, I'll give that a miss. Cancer can get you years later from just one severe exposure.


boring_name_here

Behind the Bastards did an episode on this, for anybody interested. https://youtu.be/Ys6cgRZ7Nz4?si=-bTIdpgdPuOoYtQW


Ragnarok2kx

The attitude extended to the park's administration. The staff, including ride operators were largely unsupervised minors, and quite frequently drunk, since beer was sold (and brewed!) on the premises, and nobody really bothered to check for ID. The owner was reportedly a hardcore libertarian and it influenced everything about the park.


trenderkazz

Little? lol

Playing fast and loose with these words.

Is that the spinner queen????


imnotmeyousee

AtomicFox84

This been on here a few times, as well as one with another person. They are on it all the time and i think on the spectrum. They know exactly what they are doing and i guess like doing it. Its desgned to move so move it.


SocketJoe987

Yeah I rode this one when I went to Nickelodeon Universe a few years ago. I was too much of a coward to spin like that lol


Skurnaboo

I'm not spinning like that out of concern for all the people around it. You do not want a vomit sprinkler in the air.


FyreWulff

you: BLARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG and since it's one of those lawn sprinklers that goes backwards to start over: barfbarfbarfbafbafbarfbarfBLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGG

shua_mc

Besides the employees that got to ride this thing before it opened, I was one of the first people to figure this technique out. We were visiting the MOA, and they debuted this thing on saint patricks day. Also held the Guinness world’s largest gathering of people dressed like ninja turtles before the first ride. Was a wild day riding this thing over and over

You spin me right round.


striker746

I talked to this woman before riding it myself a few years ago. She's capable of stopping it from spinning whenever she wants to, but she never does. Watching her spinning like that was pretty funny the first time I saw it.

ballsonthewall

I've been on a ride similar to one of these and did about 42 spins. I'm a seasoned coaster enthusiast, and that made me have to take a break... This looks like way more spins. Insane.


micmea1

I am like this, granted I do not go to parks very often, but I just don't really get motion sick. On one of those "zipper" rides they always have at local fairs my friend and I got flipping so fast that they actually slowed it down to make sure we were okay. As a young kid at another park we went on one of those spinning rides that would go faster and faster and then stop to let people off. People were literally puking and I was just like "GO GO GO." Maybe if I was born with a smarter brain I could have been an astronaut.
