dizzy
My brain does not like to see things that spin around. Seeing the motion makes it go all mushy on the inside (oddly, the exact feeling that calculus gave me that one awful semester in college).
Even standing on the ground trying to get a photo of the twirl-around ride* made me a little dizzy.

carnival (off season)
It felt like going to the beach in the off season was like walking around the back of a building: nothing much going on, except that everything was going on in a way that made clear nothing there cared if you noticed it or not.
