The Rotor amusement ride was designed and patented by German engineer Ernst Hoffmeister in 1948. It was first demonstrated at Oktoberfest 1949, [1] and was exhibited at fairs and events throughout Europe, during the 1950s and 1960s. The ride still appears in select amusement parks in Europe, although travelling variants have been surpassed by the Gravitron.. This improved upon earlier ride designs by adding a floor that was lowered when the ride started. [1] Royal American Shows introduced a Rotor ride to the United States in the mid 1950s, based on Hoffmeister's design. [2][3]
