The Turbo Star was another of Alton Towers
favourite rides during it's time at the park. Located in Fantasy
World, it stood in about the area where the Oblivion station
now stands.
The ride itself consisted of three arms connected
to a single point of rotation. Attached to these arms where
seven carriages that carried two people. These carriages are
connected to an arm on one of the three in the centre. The
cars would then spin both around each arm, and around the
central hub. A classic fairground ride sequence.
The ride was removed several years later,
and the Gravitron took it's place.
