What causes dizziness on a roller coaster?
Inside your inner ear there is a fluid in a small chamber. This fluid is what helps the brain balance. It's how you know when you're leaning to a side, or even upside down. While on a roller coaster the sharp turns and loops makes that liquid slosh around a lot. This sends mixed signals to the brain, and causes in some people a disorienting effect. However when you ride a lot of roller coasters this effect does not occur. That is because the brain has become accustom to the sensation and the signals it is receiving.

Is going on the batman roller coaster at six flags new England scary?
It goes upside-down five times, but it isn't intense. You get pressed into your seat a bit at the bottom of some of the drops (but not even close to the point of pain), and you do get that sharp turn feeling on the corkscrews, but other than that, the ride is just as intense if not less intense than Cyclone. It can be a bit rough in the back. The most intense part is the third inversion, which feels like going over a big hill on a regular coaster, but flipping over at the same time. The ride is not scary at all. If you want scary, sit in the back car of Cyclone and put your arms up on the first drop.
