Gravitron type ride

[sigmaphi289]

We are having a discussion at our house and one person is saying there used to be a ride at Disney where the ground dropped while you were spinning around, ala Gravitron. Are they off there rocker or can someone let me know if there was such a ride?

I think they're off their rocker. There was a ride like that at Great America in Illinois.

They used to have one of these at King's Island in Ohio too. Made me ill for what seemed like days....

I think they have/had one at Disney California Adventure. Something to do with Oranges.

That was the swings ride. It is still there, they just changed the name and over all theme.

I've never heard of anything like that at WDW, and I've been going since it opened.

The Orange ride at California Adventure is not like that. You are seated and your chair is gently swung around by a cable. A tame ride with orange aroma sprayed inside. The ride was so unpopular that they tried to make it more interesting by having someone get on a microphone and ask the kiddies to raise their hands up in the air or shout hooray while the ride is in motion. Now the ride is simply annoying.

There isn't a Gravitron ride where the ground moves out BUT Mission Space Intense Version does spin around like a Gravitron to give the feeling of blasting off into space.

Unfortunately Gravitron makes me and so does Mission Space Intense!

I think there is ride like the Gravitron (single rotating turntable) at Universl Studios (Orlando) Islands of Adventure.

I was on a (real) Gravitron at a local carnival some years ago. It is enclosed so you could not see your surroundings spin about you. You can move about, namely sit near the center or out at the edge. Mission Space is also enclosed in a way you cannot see the spinning; you are seated around the perimeter facing the center.

No, I don't think so..

 

[tractortippin]

I agree w/ the other posters....I think thats exactly what the intense side of mission space is

No there's not,there's a teacup spinning ride but nothing like a gravitron.

There isn't a gravitron ride at WDW and thank goodness. Ive ridden them at local fairs and while its a fun ride, it disgusting. They always smell bad, and with all those people getting sick in there..... EWWWWWWWW!!

Funny about this thread: the other day, I was telling DD12 that there was the ride called "the time shaft" at Kings Dominion here in VA years ago when I was growing up.

You would go in,lean up against the wall, your feet would be on the floor. then it would start spinning, at one point, the floor would go down.

I loved that ride!!!!!!! but they took it out.

imscoochy, If your post was in reference to the one above the Tea Cups are no where near a gravitron.

Here are some pics of a Gravitron.

Never been on one but I was on something similar. It was a straight walled cylinder so you stood absolutely straight up and down and the floor dropped out and you just stuck there.
