  • Currently one of six units in Australia, this Gravitron made an appearance at the Royal Melbourne Show this year as usual. With a top speed of 160 km/h and a G force 4 times that of Earths gravity, it makes for one hell of a ride.

      Very true, I do know that in the USA You Tube does not like music such as musical songs included into the video and if a creator does include music in the USA that could get the video blocked by YT or what they call" a copyright strike". More likely her because the rider asked to film and record video for YT, the ride operator had quieted any prerecorded songs from the stereo music usually played inside during the ride.

    I rode this ride 4 times in a row when I was a kid because there was no waiting line. I left my final trip staggering through the fairgrounds in search of my sisters. My equilibrium was seriously thrown off. The lights and loud noises only added to the confusion. Good times, good times.

I haven’t been on this ride in over 10 year or have seen a video but in my head I thought: “ok so watch, first you can slowly begin to put your legs up, then most of the time your seat will start to lift up vertically” god I remember this ride so well. I was that little shit head kid that would shift my body so I was upside down. Dang we have a feast every year at the end of May in my town, now I HAVE to ride it. It’s been WAYYY too long lmao.

I lost consciousness when it almost collapsed one of my lungs! I was carried out by paramedics & literally wasn't breathing for about 5 minutes, I was blue from head to toe, then I all of the sudden started breathing again... but on the bright side, the 1st 60seconds.....SCARED THE SHIT OUTTA ME BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE & NOBODY WOULD NOTICE MY BODY UNTIL THE FAIR CLOSED!

    I’ve only had the chance to go on one of these rides once but DAMN they might be my new favorite kind of carnival ride. I mean....you’ve got rainbow lights, a DJ in the center (who also does tricks if you have one that knows how - I’ve seen some cool vids), music blasting and everyone having a dance party on the walls (the one I went on happened to be playing “Hey Look Ma I Made It”), plus it’s fun to see all the backpacks and stuff people put in the center literally floating in the air. As long as you don’t get motion sickness, HOW AMAZING IS THAT??

  •  5 лет назад +1

    For all those who dont know, the force of gravity is many times LESS on the operator in the middle than on you who ride on the outskirts. In addition to this, some rides are now even built where the operator actually doesnt spin anymore, just the sides. Plus, if you pay attention, they actually change out with another guy to give him a break so he can rest and acclimate to regular gravity again. Just so you know.

      That was just in your head, I promise you. When people are upside down the operator will slow the machine to about 2 g's to give you time to right yourself. If you can't rotate at 2 g's well - you probably shouldn't be going upside down! :P

      the key is do not fight it, lean back and let it pull you along. iF you don't fight it, you will be fine. it pulls you up against the wall naturally, eventually you get used to the motion of being pulled up the wall and it becomes really fun goin on the graviton ride.

    I'm buying one of these. But not for a ride but for an experiment. You already have gravity distortion, next would be generating an Electromagnetic field or EMF with some minor modifications. The spinning and the EM field would create frame dragging. It has mass, it has a lot of other elements to allow it.

    This ride makes it feel like it’s tipping backwards and you’re laying on your back on flat ground. Yet the ride doesn’t tip at all.

    My town is REALLY small, but every year we have a carnival with one of these things in it. Fun ride, but I always get sick afterwards lol
