Pretty cool throwback post by KD showing some photos I've never seen of Time Shaft, including a construction photo, a full look at the queue area above the ride, and what looks like an original sketch of the attraction.

Someone got carried away with how fast the ride ran. Assuming a radius of 6ft, it would be pulling 20Gs of force at 100RPM...
Does anyone know how wide the drum was?
Wikipedia says there are three rotors operating in the world. One at Canobie Lake Park (Salem, New Hampshire), Luna Park (Sydney, NSW) and one traveling one in the USA owned by Kissel Entertainment. Does anyone know if anymore exist?
The one at Luna Park runs a fun cycle, the floor drops about two feet, and at least when I rode it, they did not raise the floor back up before slowing. When World of Fun still had theirs, they would run the floor back up to within a couple of inches of whoever slipped down the most.

I ride a small one at the space museum at Redstone Arsenal years ago. I think it was part of space camp. I have no idea if it is still there or what the manufacturer was.

Separately, I love Time Shaft. The integrated music and lights and the queue really creates a cool environment.
