Starship 2000 was a very fun Gravitron ride at Rye Playland. Located towards the back of the park, Starship 2000 is gray and red looking futuristic. Starship 2000 was another walk-on because of its low capacity and low crowds at Rye Playland. I had a very bad operator who ditched everyone in line (6 people) to get a soda for 5 minutes. She finally came back and allowed us to board Starship 2000. Inside, Starship 2000 has many more spots to stay than a Chance or SDC rotor. You can either ride against a white, blue, or red pad. Once the ride begins, annoying rap music plays and you gradually pick up speed. The Gs really build up when Starship 2000 reaches its maximum speed. Then, Starship 2000s pads raise with you attatched to them. Your feet dangle above the floor. Staying up for 15 seconds, you then lower and the ride begins to lose speed until it stops. Not run as long as the Gravitrons at carnivals, but still a fun but short ride. I highly recommend this ride to fans of rotors and people with very strong stomachs.
