<P> The Rotor is a large , upright barrel , rotated at 33 revolutions per minute . The rotation of the barrel creates a centrifugal effect equivalent to almost 3 g . Once the barrel has attained full speed , the floor is retracted , leaving the riders stuck to the wall of the drum . At the end of the ride cycle , the drum slows down and gravity takes over . The riders slide down the wall slowly . Most Rotors were constructed with an observation deck . </P>
