Gravitron

Since the riders move instead of the floor, the Gravitron eliminates a design flaw of the Rotor where passengers’ feet could be wedged between the moving floor and the wall, one instance of which occurred on the Cajun Cliffhanger rotor at Six Flags Great America.

Some variants include closed-circuit television cameras, allowing waiting riders and passersby to observe the ride in action.

[4] In April 2004, an accident occurred at the Dade County Youth Fair in Miami, Florida, when a panel came off and three riders were ejected.

[5][6] On September 8, 2007, a teenage boy was injured while riding a Gravitron at the Spokane County Interstate Fair in Washington State.

The boy hit his head on a metal part of the ride and needed two staples in his scalp to close the wound.

[7] At the Smith County, Tennessee, Fair on July 7, 2023, one worker died after being struck on the head as a service team greased bearings on a Gravitron, due to miscommunication with the all-clear to test rotation and the path of a pole.
