While it's true that I'm getting older, I noticed that the Monster and Troika seem to spin around their center poles at a greater speed than last year. Also, on both of these rides, they make a different sound than they used to. It sounds more hydraulic or something. (I say that like I almost know what I'm talking about).
Will someone with more ride maintenance knowledge than I possess step up and answer whether there is a difference over last year, or whether all of this is all in my spinning (but not puking) head?
