- I hit Disneyland week before last. Drizzle, no lines.
-
- The arcade there has lots of stuff I've never seen before. Among
- other things, a version of the SEGA G-Loc (I think that was the name)
- in a spherical harness. $4 a shot. G-Loc is one of those
- fighter-pilot pov games. It had two circular mounts with a base set
- that looked like it also moved the sucker. There is no horizontal
- ring.
-
- A kid played, spun around like crazy and didn't puke. The harness
- spins pretty quickly, I was generally impressed by the engineering.
