The Gravitron
had a short life at Alton Towers. Installed after the removal
of the Turbo Star, it was quite a popular ride for the people
visiting Fantasy World. The ride offered a new experience
of weightlessness, and used special light and sound effects
to heighten the thrill.
The spaceship
like carriage span pretty fast, but did not lift. This speed
gave the riders the opportunity to lift their feet from the
ground, as the forces generated from the spin, stuck them
to the walls.
The ride left
the park in 1992. The land then remained unused, until the
construction of Oblivion.
