I cannot imagine buying a kid one of these, but am intrigued since this is what I do for a living....

Do what? Build or use motion simulators? Write software for them? Sell toys? Your comment is as intriguing as the notion of buying a motion simulator for a child...

Once upon a time I had a Citroen DS and you could independently raise or lower the suspension on each wheel... It used to be fun to "rock" the car a little with someone who did not know it would do this... especially if they had had a few drinks... Ah, the sick humor of our youth...

I manage test projects for three Air Force simulator programs.

I have a Motion Simulator for my kids, it's called the "Boot in the a$$" and it simulates the motion of being moved forward at a higher rate of speed than what the child is moving. It's really great you should get one. :lol:

that's hilarious except my kid is 6'4", 245 lbs and if my foot made contact with him, it would probably break.
