Unbalanced Load

One of those things came apart at our county fair once. Threw a girl right on the pavement in front of everyone. No more gravitron after that.

I made friends with a guy that was running one of those YEARS ago. He taught me that you can run in the opposite direction SIDEWAYS while it was going with relative ease, at the right speed. Also got to do "superman" via hanging on to the center handrail while he controlled the speed. Fun to sit up and turn upside down so you're looking at the top of it. Rotate like this picture. So many fun oddball things you can do on that ride, if the operator is cool.

Generally I don't do carnival rides, but I went on one of these. This one kid was upside down for almost the entire thing, and everybody was applauding when the ride slowed down so much that the kid had to be helped down.

So I'm the very last person to load onto that exact same ride a few years back. This morbidly obese kid right in front of me is getting help from his mom to pack in as much pop-corn and licorice as he can fit in his fat face before it's time to load.

I knew nausea was going to be an issue, but as there were only two spots left, I didn't see much of a chance of getting away from this kid.

I can see this kid starting to turn green in the gills as the ride's going, and had to look over in disgust a few times when he burped/dry heaved. Finally when the ride's in full swing the kid spews up all the deep fried fair food he'd had that day.

Fortunately for me, the spin worked in my favor. He projectile vomited, it spun around inside that ride and got everyone covered in puke except for me.

Looking at this kid on my right covered in his on vomit, people across the ride puking after realizing they were puked on, and even the person to my left with some puke stains on their pants...walking out of there clean and dry I felt like the luckiest man on earth.

tl;dr - sat next to a kid that puked. Spin of ride got everyone covered in puke, except for me.

My friends and I love trying to do sit-ups and pushups on this ride. Try it, you'll hurt yourself.

OG_Willikers · 2 months

When I was in high school at the county fair the fucking carny operating the ride must have gone on break, because he left us on this fucking thing for what seemed like 10 minutes. One young kid was seriously losing it, he pissed his pants and was getting sideways on the wall like the kid in this picture. He just kept moving his head side to side and was crying like a baby all with a huge piss stain in the front of his pants. I have a strong stomach, but I was seriously ill as were my friends. Last time I ever went on that fucking ride.

This ride was always my favorite, but I was always terrified to go on it. Not because it's scary, but because I have an extreme phobia of vomiting. And by some chance, the people with the weakest stomachs always go on the most intense rides. If you have a weak stomach, don't ruin it for everyone else.

Chigsy · 2 months

for some reason I felt compelled to spit as much as possible. I dunno why I would do it, it would just get all over my face.

GlitterLamp · 2 months

No, motherfucker. That's not how you ride the Gravitron.

Some douchebag kicked me right in my little kiddie face all those years ago. Gave me a goddamned black eye.

The last time I went in one of these, some kid though it would be fun to slide up the wall. It was all fun and games until the wall shifted up and he cut his head on the ceiling corner. Those things are spinning train wrecks man.

My friends and I used to try to get our bodies completely off the seats during the ride or we would see how long we could stand, when the ride was starting, before being slammed into the wall.

One time when I was kid the guy ran the ride for half an hour because he was messing with a few of the guys who had got on the ride. Grown men were throwing up on the seats and floor. It was freaking traumatizing. I can't even think of this ride without feeling nauseous.

That's pretty ballsy to take a picture with your phone during this ride. If it slips out of your hand, it goes flying and gets smashed to pieces (and might break someone's nose on the way).

This is the only ride I will pay the ridiculous ticket prices for at our fair. It's so worth it. There's another one that does the same thing, but then lifts up and tilts. Tilt-a-whirl I think it was called. I always liked this one better though. You can't see outside, so it feels like you're going faster.

Those things are awesome. We get one where I live every year, and I'm always sure to ride it like six times before it's gone again. One year I walked a few steps around the chamber on the wall.

Although it kind of hurts your self confidence when all your fat flaps backward. Mmm.
