Gravitron was the best.

Got on the Gravitron., "Stairway To Heaven" comes on. Operator was a cool dude so let the ride go the entire song, rather than the 2 minutes the ride was supposed to go. Everyone cheered as we got off. His supervisors were waiting to relieve him of his duties when the doors opened.

The original one in Australia was "The Rotor" at Luna Park
(no pulse, not the crappy knock-ff Luna Park in St Kilda, the GOOD one on Sydney Harbour).

It was basically a cage with f-all padding and if spun hard enough would turn you into mince meat.

And quoth the wiki, the Gravitron was also know as;

Starship
Starship 2000
Starship 3000
Starship 4000
Starship Area 51
Starship Gravitron
Starship Exodus
Alien Abduction
Alien Invasion
Twister
Devil's Hole
Area 51
Flight To Mars
Enterprise

That's weird, because Melbourne opened in 1912 and Sydney in 1935..

"You're not thinking fourth dimensionally."

That's a funny way of saying 'I'm wrong' woberto.
