Only one was ever built, now owned by Drew Exposition, but previously owned by Cumberland Valley Shows and Royal American Shows.

3:48 I was like "oh, I've visited that Rotor!" before realizing my own username was the image credit lol. When originally posting that picture, I was told by the guy operating the ticket booth at Sylvan Beach that their Rotor hadn't operated at all in 2017 or 2018. I've since heard that it's running again, albeit somewhat slowly. I remember reading that Washington State Fair removed their Rotor shortly after that, and I'm not sure about the status of Tumbleweed at Frontier City. I know Turkish Twist at Canobie Lake is still running strong, and having ridden that one I can say the experience is significantly better than a Gravitron or Round Up. I understand there are a few traveling models still around, and I highly encourage everyone to try one since they're really magical with the zero restraints and centripetal sensation of gravity.

Still have not been on a rotor, I went to the Washington State Fair pretty soon after theirs was removed, really hope I get the chance to someday.

Man this is interesting. Also in regards to the Octopus ride I do know of an actual one with an octopus sculpture and seadragon like cars just like the ones in the game. It features a few more vehicles per arm than the ingame version but the "Polyp" at Bakken in Denmark is otherwise a perfect match. Its a Schwarzkpf Monster 3 built in the 1980's. Also I have experienced a Soriani and Moser Polyp too at a fair around here. It was much more nauseating than the Schwarzkopf (and later Gerstlauer) versions, partially due to the the ride spinning the opposite way. So instead of the main structure spinning clockwise and the bottom of the arms spinning counterclockwise, the Soriani version had both spinning clockwise.
@JNattyBoi Жыл бұрын
Ay nice! I came across a few of those monsters, very similar to the Soriani and Moser version, but the central arms that the cars are attached to are missing those dragon heads.

i've ridden it as well, probably one of my favourite flat/thrill rides of all time... i had no issues with the restraints, but we always had the "no hands" stipulation with friends, so we always had our hands high on everything, it probably helped with seating on this one. if i had to guess, i'd say, that they are in talk with s&s to redesign the seats to make them more comfortable, or just trying to sell the ride before disassembling it. it is a quite rare and thrilling ride with quite good tph when it has no issues, it definitely has a place in thorpe park

From What I understand about the Sledgehammer from Canadas Wonderland. It doesnt suffer from technical problems in the obvious way of "it keeps breaking down."

I got to ride on the slammer at thorpe park (sky swatter ride) the year before it closed and it was my favourite lol. glad i got to ride it before it closed but it always seemed to have technical issues and when it was operating the queue was never more than 2 ride cycles long bearing in mind most thorpe park rides can reach up to 2 hour queues. its sad seeing it sbno its pretty overgrown now (well as of last year when I went) and they have been using its queue line as a queue line for black mirror maze

I actually met someone the other day who had also ridden slammer and had the exact same things to say about it haha, sounds like it was an awesome ride. Really bummed I'll (likely) never get the chance to ride one of those. Thanks for the comment!
