G-Lock, Amusement ride in Walygator Parc, France.
G-Lock is a spinning ride in Walygator Parc with six spacecraft capsules mounted on a central mast. The capsules rise up to 8 meters high and rotate on a circular platform about 23 meters across, with each capsule holding four people.
The ride opened in 2014 as part of the Space World zone at the park. It was created by converting a former building structure into a modern attraction for simulating spaceflight experiences.
The ride lets visitors experience the movements that astronauts feel during their training. You sit in modern capsules that spin and lift while feeling the forces that occur during spaceflight preparation.
Passengers must be at least 130 centimeters tall to ride this attraction. It's best to secure loose items and be prepared for intense spinning movements during the experience.
During the ride, passengers experience accelerations around 4G, similar to what real astronauts undergo in training. This intense force makes the experience a physical simulation of actual spaceflight preparation.
