There is a similar type of amusement park, fair grounds ride I remember riding frequently from a few decades ago. There's some youtube videos of one named Zero Gravity.

The above video is watching it spin from outside.
The video below was taken inside the ride.
In my memory, the forces held you to the back of the ride,
but these riders don't seem to be like that.

Wiki also has a page about a ride called The Gravitron:
The Gravitron is an amusement ride, most commonly found as a portable ride at fairs and carnivals. The Gravitron first appeared at Morey's Piers, NJ, in 1983 and quickly became a fixture at amusement parks in many countries. It is a modification of an earlier ride called the Rotor.
Among others, it also goes by these names: the Starship, Starship 2000, Starship Area 51, Starship Gravitron, Starship Exodus, Alien Abduction, Alien Invasion, Twister, Devil's Hole, Area 51, Flight To Mars, and Enterprise.
Search youtube and there's plenty of videos of that one, too.
