That’s right—this was the Rotor, later often known as the Gravitron, a carnival ride that used spinning force to pin riders against the wall while the floor slipped out beneath their feet. First popularized in the mid-20th century, it became a staple at county fairs and amusement parks for decades. Some remember it as pure excitement, others as a test of how strong your stomach was!
