When this thing first showed up at our state fair, I rode it close to ten times in a row. I've never felt as sick as I did since that day lol.

We were traveling carnies for a while when I was a kid. My dad and brother ran some of the rides. They never ran the graviton, but my dad's best friend there did. I once spent an entire day in a graviton. Literally from when they opened until they closed it that night, only coming out to pee and vomit. It was amazing, and I have never once enjoyed the ride since. Lmao
I used to love riding it over and over again as a kid! Rode it once as an adult. Promptly got sick
holy shit, the first one was at Morey's!? TIL growing up I was riding the OG gravitron... nice!
I really liked this ride when I was kid.
In Australia, this ride is known as the Vomitron
Best ride!
one motherfucker did this at the fair in town. He leaned back too far and rippen through that canvas ceiling above him. I guess it fling him about a block away before he landed in somebody's yard.
They still use the same machine, but there's a huge duct tapped patch over one of those triangles in the ceiling.
