The recommended ride time is no longer than 80 seconds. Similar forces are achieved from NASA astronaut experiments simulating rocket take off and space travel G-Forces. Regular riders will always move into position as the ride gains speed, sometimes turning sideways or upside down. At this speed (turned with a 33kW 3-phase motor), the 45 panels that riders stand against rise upwards leaving people stuck to the wall with their feet off the ground. The ride quickly starts to rotate reaching its top speed of 24 rpm in less than 20 seconds. When the automated door closes the fun really begins – riders barely realise they’re moving (everything they can see is moving with them). This was not the first ride to use centrifugal laws to pin its standing occupants – other prior examples include the Rotor and Roundup The ride movement can be summed up two words: centrifugal force – all 4 G’s of it pushing the standards of safe amusement ride physics.
Nowdays, Wisdom brands this ride “Starship 3000”
