In all my years, I've never actually done one of these. I used to love the old fairground 'Gravity Wheels,' and when American Adventure had one up by Motion Master for a few years I'd ride it loads each day, but the traditional Rotor has eluded me.

I think I've actually done this one, or at least I've done one Rotor at Hamburg DOM, back in 2013. Did another at Foire du Midi in Brussels last year and it was a real stomach-churner.
