We’re at Barry Island Pleasure Park today where We’re at Barry Island Pleasure Park today where among the rides & attractions on offer, a former Alton Towers favourite can be found in the form of Gravitron. Located in Fantasy World between 1990-1992, this Vekoma attraction had space for up to 40 people to stand against the wall. As the room started to spin at great speeds, passengers were forced against the walls and moved up, so their feet left the ground. Did you ever ride Gravitron during its time at Alton Towers?

@tusenfrydas has announced a Gerstlauer Launched I @tusenfrydas has announced a Gerstlauer Launched Inverted Coaster opening for 2023. This attraction looks to be similar to Lipovitan Rocket Luna at Yomuriland in Japan, but with the thrill level turned up! Featuring what appears to be a swing launch, multiple inversions and airtime, this is a radical new take on the thrill inverted coaster from Gerstlauer.
