carnival ride
Spinning park machine
A carnival ride is a mechanical amusement designed to thrill or entertain, found at fairs, carnivals, and amusement parks.
These range from gentle attractions like carousels and Ferris wheels to stomach-churning contraptions that spin, drop, or loop passengers at high speeds: The kids wanted to go on every carnival ride at the fair.
Figuratively, a situation that feels chaotic or emotionally turbulent: This job has been a real carnival ride.
