I love spinning. Round and round and round

and round and round and round... Whoa!

I feel funny.

That was really weird. What happened?

Whoops!

Hmmm. When you need to know, go to Okido!

Hello, Zoe. Hello, Felix. Huh?

What are you doing?

Messy! We were ballet dancing.

Oh, I'm brilliant at ballet! Watch.

And, twirl...

the pirouette...

and finish.

-Wow! That was, erm, different.

-BEEPING

-Oh, it's Zim. Hi, Zim.

-Hi, Zim.

Hi, everyone. Can you come to Magnetto Zone, please?

We need your help with the roller-coaster.

Of course! We're on our way.

I love roller-coasters!

WHISTLES

HORN SOUNDS

Let's ski-doodle, Okidoodle!

Where are Zim, Zam, and Zoom?

ZIM SCREAMS IN TERROR

A-ha! I knew it. This roller-coaster needs urgent repairs.

Really? Can we have a go? I mean, can we see?

Oh, no! It's horrible.

It goes up and down and round and round and up and over

and down and up and round and...

MALFUNCTIONS

It's supposed to, silly.

No, the problem is the rails at the top are very old,

and aren't safe any more. My rail-checker never lies.

We need to change them. No more rides until we do!

-Oh, boo.

-How are we going to change the rails?

It's a bit, er, high.

-I know a big robot who can help.

-Of course! Stan Tall!

We'll go and get him.

Oh, thanks, you three.

We'll stay here and make sure no-one goes on the roller-coaster.

Let's Oki-go!

No, sorry. No entry. Health and safety rules, you see.

Hmmm. Where's Stan Tall? Must be around here somewhere? Stan!

Stan Tall! Where are you?

ROBOTIC NOISES

Hello, Stan. I always forget how, er, tall you are.

Stan, can you come and help us fix the roller-coaster, please?

ROBOTIC NOISES

OK, then. Follow us!

-Messy, do we have to go so fast?

-Yes!

The sooner we get back to the roller-coaster, the sooner

Stan will fix it, and the sooner we can have a roller-coaster ride!

-Messy!

-Don't forget about Stan!

Sorry, Stan!

ROBOTIC GROAN

I'll slow down a bit.

Wow, Stan! Are you OK?

ROBOTIC NOISES

-Oh. Can we go a bit more slowly, Messy?

-OK.

Next stop - roller-coaster!

-Roller-coaster!

-Messy!

That was quick. Hello, Stan!

Can you help us to take off the old rails

and put in these new ones, please?

ROBOTIC NOISES

MALFUNCTIONS

-Oh, no!

-Stan, are you OK?

Look out!

-Stay there! Don't get up.

-Stan's gone all wobbly again.

Again! Did this happen before?

Well, it wasn't my fault, but we were trying to get here super fast,

and we zoomed around and around and up and down...

OK, maybe it was a bit my fault.

I know what's happened. Stan is having problems with his balance.

Bal-ance? What's that?

Balance is what keeps you standing up, and stops you from falling over

when you walk along, or run, or turn around, or climb on something.

But his feet are fine. His legs are fine.

His knees are fine.

Actually, Messy,

your balance is controlled by something in your head.

BOTH: Huh?

ROBOTIC NOISES

BEEPING

Your head is where your brain is. Your brain is your body's computer.

It collects information from your eyes and ears and nose

and hands and feet, about what's going on around you,

then tells your body what to do.

Messy, can you stand on one leg?

Ho-ho! I'm the best one-leg-stander ever!

Hmmm, you are quite good, but do you know how you do it?

Your brain tells your body how to stay upright,

without you even having to think about it.

OK.

Now, try it with your eyes closed.

I'm still standing.

-Although your eyes help you balance, your ears do, too.

-My ears?

But you don't hear balance.

That's right, Felix. Your ears feel it.

Your ears are very important in keeping your balance.

Waaaah!

I think Stan is OK, but I need to check.

Stan, can we have a look inside your head, please?

ROBOTIC NOISES

Inside his head?! It won't hurt him, will it, Zam?

No, it won't hurt him a bit.

Brilliant. Then, we can get back to work on the roller-coaster!

How do we get in?

Ah! Leave it to me.

Well done, Felix.

Now, Messy, remember, please don't touch anything.

Of course!

Ha-ha-ha!

What?

Whoa! This is amazing!

-Cool!

-Wow!

Careful, now. Keep your balance.

I still don't know how my ears are keeping me from falling over.

Well, Messy, look, that's how!

Your ear has a special bit inside called the inner ear.

That's what's used for balance.

Stan has an inner ear that works the same as yours.

When you move up, down, or side or side, the liquid in those tubes

moves too, and those sensors tell your brain which way you're moving.

Then your brain tells your legs, knees, feet, toes,

and the rest of you what to do to keep your balance.

Oh, yes!

When I do this, I can feel my feet and legs and knees and toes

and everything all stopping me from falling over.

That's because your brain is telling your body what to do.

Well, Stan's inner ear is fine. I think you just made him dizzy.

Diz-zee? That's a lovely word. Dizzy. Diz-zee. Dee-zee.

What does it mean?

BEEPING

If you spin around too much, your inner ear can get confused,

and sends the wrong signals to your brain.

That's when you feel dizzy.

Stan, you just got diz-zee.

Messy, let's tell him to his face.

Stan, you just got dizzy, so you're OK.

ROBOTIC NOISES

No more spinning, twisting, twirling, or whirling around, OK?

ROBOTIC NOISES

Now that you are better, Stan, let's fix that roller-coaster.

ROBOTIC NOISES

-Er, left a bit.

-Down a bit.

That's it!

ROBOTIC NOISES

Thank you for helping to fix the roller-coaster, Stan.

It's as good as new.

ROBOTIC NOISES

Right, everyone. Are you sure you want to do this?

Yes! I can't wait to get dizzy.

Whoa...

Waaaaaah!

Balabalaboomboom!

EXCITED SHOUTING AND LAUGHING

Woo-hoo-hoo!

Ha-ha-ha! I'm dizzy!

Me too.

My inner ear is confused.

BEEPING

That was an amazing ride! Thanks for fixing the roller-coaster, Stan.

ROBOTIC NOISES

Time to go. See you next time!

-Bye!

-Bye, Messy!

-Bye-bye!

-Bye, Messy!

Wheeeee! Ho-ho! Phew. I feel dizzy again.

All that spinning around has made my inner ear confused.

Whoa! Hee-hee-hee-hee. Whoa.

Time for a sit down. Bye, everyone!

Balabalaboomboom!
