stashua123 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 ive heard numerous stories from my dad about the rotor and said that you would be stuck to the wall and the the floor would srop and it spin ya round and round and he said he rode it 6 or 7 times in a row and saw someone fall off so ive been wanting to ask how was YOUR ride on the rotor?

BB1 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 If you go on RCT3, and place the ride: Rotor 1, it will surely show you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Seeing is NOT riding. I rode Rotor hundreds of times. It was much like being in a top loader washer during the spin cycle. A modern ride with a sensation much like it (absent the lifting action, which Rotor did not have) is Crazy Orbit aka Revolution aka Magic Rainbow aka Bullseye: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 At Kings Island, you were NOT allowed to move around like these people do while the ride was in motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windshawne Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 At Kings Island, you were NOT allowed to move around like these people do while the ride was in motion. I don't know how they could move around-I never wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KingsIslandPR Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 It was one of my rides. Always felt like I was going to slide down the wall as it was rotating but never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windshawne Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 It was one of my rides. Always felt like I was going to slide down the wall as it was rotating but never did. Right. It was cool, but walking afterward was pretty funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 It was one of my rides. Always felt like I was going to slide down the wall as it was rotating but never did. If Worlds of Fun ever gets rid of theirs, can we pull a Demon Drop and save it from the dumpster? Kings Island: We Recycle!

The Interpreter Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Round. Round. Round. Round. Stop. 11 year old next to you pukes. Restroom. Water. Push soap. Scrub. Air dryer. Rinse. Repeat. At Great Advencha, they had a hose at the top of the barrel. If someone puked midride, they sprayed the riders. Then it was like a spray rinse during the spin cycle. They had theirs up til about six or seven years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejej Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I live in Clark County, OH and we have a Rotor-ish ride at our fair every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomTheater Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I loved the one at Geauga Lake. My sister was able to turn herself upside down in it, that was a sight. Another humorus antedote, one time some on brought a bag of cotton candy on, after the cycle it was flat as a pancake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 First rode The Rotor with my dad at Six Flags Over Georgia when I was about 8. I remember being led into the ride area and just standing against the wall with no idea what was going to happen. Imagine my chagrin when we started to spin faster and faster and faster and my ultimate shock when that floor dropped. I loved that ride-it was such a rush.

matthunterross Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 There's a similar ride at Coney (but no dropping floor, and you're strapped in): http://www.coneyislandpark.com/imgUploader/Rides/RoundUp_Large_Web_view.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jzarley Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 LOVED the Rotor! (Although, as I've gotten older I've become much less tolerant of spinning rides, so I wonder if I could even ride it today). As a child, it was one of the first "big" rides I was able to go on. The sensations were amazing and you were literally plastered to the walls of the ride unable to move. I remember riding it with my older brother and his girlfriend and laughing hysterically. I have fond memories of it being extremely fun...of course, I also have fond memories of the "FUNtastic World of Hanna-Barbera" being one of the most beautiful things I ever saw too, so maybe take that memory with a grain of salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToriH Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 so its like the gravitron? I love this ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 CP had one back in the day.... Actually - I think CP had 2 - different ones in different locations at different time periods. It;s kinda like a barium enema - mind over matter - and you can make yourself sick (if you wanted to) just watching it, as you could from the top as you waited in line for your turn to ride.
