[Festival Attraction : Gravitron]
A bright, sunny day at the Alice Academy. Blue skies, white fluffy clouds floating in the sky - and a happy feeling in the air, for the Festival has begun! The first day of the Alice Academy Annual Festival has finally arrived, after months and months of planning by the staff. Several events were held during the festival, and this year, a new set has been created by the teachers. The students will finally get to enjoy themselves, after ALL that waiting. In some random area in the Academy, there was an attraction... : The Gravitron
The ride is completely enclosed, with 45 padded panels lining the inside wall. Riders lean against these panels, which are angled back. As the ride rotates, centrifugal force pushes the riders against the padding, which also begins to slide up on rollers, removing the rider from the floor. The ride can reach a maximum speed of 24 rpm in less than 20 seconds, due to the 33 kW 3-phase motor. At this speed, the riders are experiencing centrifugal force equevilant to 4 gravities.
The ride operator is located in the centre of the ride, and controls lighting and music in addition to the ride itself. Some variants include Closed-circuit television cameras, allowing waiting riders and passersby to observe the ride in action.
