TTP Review:

Storm in a Teacup was built in 1985, and was rethemed from Teacup Twisters in 2004. Riders walk onto the ride, choose a teacup, sit in it with a couple of other people, and the floor and cups start to rotate. You can rotate the cups faster if you want to, by turning the wheel in the middle of the cup.

The ride will make you dizzy, and it's fun to watch everyone else's reactions and facial expressions as you whizz around. The ride lasts a couple of minutes, and riders generally walk off feeling quite dazed.

Storm in a Teacup is a fun ride to experience with family or friends. It's not thrilling, it's not that fast, and it definately isn't a rare ride - you can find these rides at most travelling fairs. However, it will make you dizzy, and there is a degree of intensity to the ride. Don't go out of your way to ride it, though.
