The Wiki article linked by Jon way up at the toppish end of the thread my have been updated since anyone was interested in the thread (two years ago), but now includes a 1x CD spin rate:

Of course the implication of CLV, as opposed to CAV, is that disc angular velocity is no longer constant, and spindle motor need to be designed to vary speed between 200 RPM on the outer rim and 500 RPM on the inner rim.

Those probably are "round number" values, and shouldn't be taken as exact, but for a 24x disk (fairly common now) that would mean 4,800 RPM to 12,000 RPM.

McUA: Angular velocities are vectorish, so a CD on a carnival ride would spin at the same CD RPM plus/minus the ride RPM, if axes are aligned (parallel). The RPM required for the carnival ride depends on the diameter of the cage, and must be high enough to always produce a positive outward force. If the wheel rotates up to a horizontal axis, a centrifugal force of at least 0.2g is typical at the top of the cycle and produces a "feeling of weightlessness" but still keeps the idiots safely pressed into their spot on the wheel. That automatically means an apparent 2.2g at the low point. A ride that varies from 1g at top to 3g at bottom feels "much safer" and most of the rides I've seen can be run up to this level for "wimpish" riders.

Most rides I've seen of a size requiring around 20 to 60 rpm, which would make little difference to the CD with parallel axes of rotation for the ride and for the CD, as long as the ride speed is fairly constant or varies slowl enough.

If the axes are not parallel, Mr. Coriolis might disassemble (or at least render unusable) the CD and/or CD drive, just as moving it around very aggressively by hand (i.e. tipping the computer) on your desktop while it's running can do.

Since hard drives in desktop computers are fairly typically running at 12,000 RPM now all the time they're in use, the common 3.5 inch drives are very susceptible to destructive effects of movement while spinning. Most 2.5 inch drives, used largely in laptops, remain at 7,000 RPM or lower (with some exceptions) to lessen the effect of Coriolis forces/torques and other bumps and jiggles, which is one of the several reasons why laptop drives are typically about one-tenth as fast at moving data as "modern" desktop drives.
