We got my dad a go in a flight simulator for his birthday. My mum and I went to watch - it was rather interesting. Bit hard to photograph though as it was very dark!

B-52G simulator cockpit on display at Castle Air Museum in Atwater, California.
Simulators like these were used at the former Castle AFB and other B-52 bases to build and maintain proficiency at a fraction of the cost (and risk) inherent in actual flight operations.

WitchDoc's Ambtenarensimulator. A machine that goes round and round in pointless, meaningless circles and never stops.
A video of this machine in action can be viewed here.
FX Simulator (X2) on the new Grand Pier in Weston Super Mare. Rode it with a friend while on a trip.
For people who've never rode one, its a 2-seater capsule, there are 8 tracks its £2.50 for one person £5 for 2 people, a camera is inside which views the one or the two people inside.
The instructions are that you insert coins into a console outside the coaster while a screen shows the tracks available when its your turn you climb in and you plug in your safety belts then you close the door (NOTE the door it's not automatic) there are 8 yellow flashing buttons each one relates to a track on the coasters screen, during the ride there are Red flashing buttons which are for emergency use to stop the ride.
Rides last approximatly 5 minutes depending on the track selected.
UPDATE: The price for this ride has gone down from £2.50 to £2 for one person and £5 to £4 for 2 people.
One thing the pier might have changed but admission to actually get on the pier is £1, which is a bit cheeky I have to say as it was free.
Most of the arcade is £1 a machine, Another arcade machine I played on was Outrun 2.
