I have never ridden on Alice's Tea Cups?
Are they fun or do they make you sick??

You have complete control over the teacup as far as how fast it spins. If you go with my children, you will get sick! You may want to opt for your own teacup (if it's not too crowded)!

It's one of our favorites!!!!! Supposedly the trick is to look at a particular place, i.e. at the wheel, at your partner, at a fixed point. I'm not completely sure because this ride never makes me sick... I love it. But I've heard that there are tricks...

Bouncy, flouncy, pouncy! Fun, Fun, Fun, Fun, Fun!

It really depends on how much and how fast you spin....some people are pk and somepeople get sick
I love them but the line is usally long.
go ahead and have fun....

Watch out! My kids tricked my wife when they were little by telling her they wouldn't spin it much. When they got her on the ride they spun it as hard as they possibly could.
I thought it was funny, but she didn't.
You can get pretty sick, if spinning things effect you that way.

If you spin lightly or not at all, they can be very relaxing if you don't mind circular motions like me.

Mad Hatters Tea Party is my favorite ride in all of MK. My DH doesn't like it because he feels silly getting off all dizzy. I make him spin it super fast If you like things that spin I would definately go on it, otherwise you can go on it and not spin it. Have fun!!

Come on people, the Teacups is a classic ride at WDW. You have to try it at least once. Give it a try, it's not going to kill ya. I personally thought it was fun.

The Tea Cups have a strange effect on my friends. I had a friend (Emily is her name) ride them with me and a few buddies, get off very dizzy, go eat lunch at Cosmic Ray's and paint her cup with a straw and ketchup, mayo, and mustard. Very interesting... Very odd... very... Emily!

I love this ride, one of my favorites, but I find that as I get older I can't handle it as well as I used to. I still like to spin very fast, but for only a short period of time.

Would the tea cups be considered a "hub-and-spoke-and-spoke" attraction?

I had a traumatic experience on the Tea Cups when I was a little kid and haven't been back on since.
My parents took me to WDW for the first time in 1979 right after I turned 6. (I'm dating myself here.) I went on with my Dad and my brother, who was four then. Well, as soon as the thing started, my Dad started spinning the thing as fast as he could. My head snapped back over the back of the cup and I couldn't get it up for the entire ride. It was very uncomfortable and not much fun for a six year old. I think I may have gone back on it one other time when I was older on a subsequent trip, but my Dad traumatized me about riding those Tea Cups and I know I haven't been on it the last two trips I made down there. I don't necessarily avoid them, but I don't make it a point to go on them, either.

I love the teacups- the faster the better.
My mother, however, would disagree with me!

I've been all the time listed below but never on the teacups. I've watched my wife and kids go on them severla times, but never have and never will. ToT and RnRC back to back make me a little dizzy, I'm sure the teacups would be a lot worse!
