Riding the rotor is the latest thrill in a Canadian amusement park. Riders inside the huge whirling drum find centrifugal force enables them to walk on walls. Spinning ride and people plastered against the walls of the ride. People standing against the railing of the ride looking down. Camera man tied to the center post. The rotor riders are stuck to the sides of the ride by centripetal (centrifugal) force. A man trying to take a drink from a bottle while the ride is on. This does not work too well. Ride ends, man looks sick
