From Wiki:
The Gravitron (later marketed as the Starship 2000, Starship 3000, Starship 4000, and Alien Abduction) is an amusement ride, most commonly found as a portable ride at fairs and carnivals. The Gravitron first appeared at Morey's Piers in 1983 and quickly became a fixture at amusement parks in many countries
The ride is completely enclosed, with 48 padded panels lining the inside wall. Riders lean against these panels, which are angled back. As the ride rotates, centrifugal force is exerted against the pads by the rider, removing the rider from the floor, due to the slant. The ride can reach a maximum speed of 24 rpm in less than 20 seconds, due to the 33 kW 3-phase motor. At this speed, the riders are experiencing centrifugal force equivalent to three times the force of gravity.
The ride operator is located in the center of the ride. Part of the operator's duty is to control lighting and music in addition to the ride itself. Some variants include closed-circuit television cameras, allowing waiting riders and passersby to observe the ride in action.
There are a few versions of this ride that do not have a ceiling (i.e. the top canvas is not installed).
The entire ride racks on a single 50-foot trailer for transport. The ride can be assembled in less than six hours, and packed up in three.

Need music one I rode years ago in my area played music n the operator had fun with us all was a blast
Not me just seeing the OMG in the background XD
I can't tell what's really happening how does tjsi ride feel? never been on it
as the ride spins you get sucked to the wall. then each persons spot starts to slide up, so you are stuck to a wall 3 feet in the air. Note my bag on the railing. it starts to go horizontal as the speed picks up. the feeling is increased because the rider cannot see outside just other people
One of the best rides I’ve ever rode
@@KavensWorld Do you feel like you're spinning?
@@RachelDavis705 no unless you put yourself upside down. you can get dizzy though
here it is called the starship 3000
i rode this at the strawberry festival, my testicals now lay where my heart is
lol THAT feeling :)
How IS this filmed
whenever I rode this for the first time, i didn't know that the padded seats lifted as the ride went. Best ride ever!
when I was a tad younger I got stuck on this ride I didn't like that too much cool ride though
I'll be going on that ride in the summer with a few friends, looks great :)
Coolest ride ever. Did one yesterday, first time ever. The ride was in darkness, with bright strobe lights throughout. Even this old Air Force guy did experience spatial disorientation.
It is a true classic, thanks for watching.
Look scary from the outside
fun on the inside :)
does the operator spin !
yes but since they are in the center they do not get dizzy
Why do all of these have roofs?
No need for them xD
The roof is there to block views to the outside. As the riders have no visual references, the psychological impact of the 3G forces the body is exposed to become much harder. Most will experience spatial disorientation, losing the perception of what is up and down.
@@thefreedomguyuk interesting! Thank you, I didn't know that
