i read one of the other posts about the Mission Space centrifuges.... does this meant this ride will spin? like a gyroscope?

Similar, but more complex to allow for WDI to re-create weightlessness, take-off, and reducing the 'protein spill' factor.

so, we wouldn't sit on the "spinning" part of the gyroscope, but on the outer shell right?

The centerfuges have a center axis point. off this centerpoint are attached an arm for each pod and each pod is attached to this arm the povit for each pod and attached to that is the pod, if you have ever seen Space Cowboys or Appolo 13, there are breif secenes with a centerfuge, then imanigine nine more pods attached
