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.

Castle Air Museum:
Full-size Bus Simulator showcased at the SMRT Bus Carnival and Career Fair, held at e2i on 12 and 13 September 2014.
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.

The new high-tech simulator, one of the most advanced in the world, uses computerised virtual reality software to simulate a working warship's bridge, complete with a 240-degree view of a computer generated 2D scene through the bridge windows.
The latest group of Junior Warfare Application Course officers completed their training on the new bridge simulator on 24 March 2011.
