In Media
- A Gravitron with nearly all original factory cosmetics can be seen in operation in Chaka Khan's "Love Of A Lifetime" (1986) video. Several dancers are seen performing in front of the ride. The video was shot at Long Island's Adventureland amusement park (the same park the 2009 movie of the same name was based on). In the early 90's the ride was removed from the park.
- Season 2 Episode 8 of Chuck was titled "Chuck Versus the Gravitron". It featured Chuck fighting Fulcrum agent "Leader" inside a functioning Gravitron at a Carnival. "Leader" was played by Patrick Kilpatrick, who appeared in several Star Trek episodes.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The media have just buried the last yuppie, a pathetic creature who had not heard the news that the great pendulum of public conciousness has just swung from Greed to Compassion and from Tex-Mex to meatballs.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
