Rotor was a Rotor model previously manufactured by USA firm Chance Rides. Chance Rides purchased the rights to manufacture the ride from the Valare Brothers. The ride consisted of a large drum that riders would stand against the wall inside of. The drum would begin to rotate about a vertical axis, pushing riders against the wall with centrifugal force. Once the drum reached its maximum speed, the floor inside the drum would lower and the riders would be held against the wall with the centrifugal force. The floor would then return to its original position and the drum would slow to a stop.
