message: Centripetal= mass times velocity squared over the radius of a circle. The reason you feel the G's is because of the force exerted from the wall onto you (normal force). If the wall wasn't there, then you wouldn't stay in the circle and therefore would'nt feel the G's..
You would feel the force if there was no wall - within that frame of reference you would be accelerating outward.  Centrifugal force is BALANCED by centripetal force, so that the net force (again in the frame of reference) is zero.  Centripetal force is always toward the axis of rotation, and centrifugal force is always away from it.  I'm sorry but this is such a commonly misunderstood concept that anyone who isn't a physicist has no business discussing it.  The wording should be centrifugal.
I agree. Centripetal froce is what pushes an object of of a spinning object.FrogTape 23:40, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  It is Centripetal 

message: All you people are losers, you sound like the comments from youtube. You’re arguing over what to call it. It just depends on the reference frame. In a rotating reference frame it is the real centrifugal force and in the inertial frame it is the imaginary centrifugal force that is just your perception of 4gees of acceleration towards the center of the ride. 
And on to more important matters: when I was on one of these things the (dj) ride controller gave a demonstration by walking on the floor out of his booth(near the center the small diameter makes the forces negligible.) and walked out a few feet until he just took one more step and was standing on the railing at almost 90deg to the horizontal. Is it just me or is that really cool. And he didn't even seem seasick. It looked like one of the scenes from a cheap old vamp movie. 71.112.30.41 06:22, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
