construction
The ride, which has an area of 22 × 22 meters when assembled, consists of a large rotating platform that is 17 meters in diameter and inclined at 7.5 °. Four rotating crosses are attached to each. The crosses can rotate around their vertical axis when driven by an electric motor . At the end of each cross arm, a gondola for two people is attached to the side, which in turn can rotate around its horizontal axis. This enables lateral rollover during the course of the journey. The railway has a total of 16 such gondolas. The shoulder straps hold people between 1.37 meters and 1.95 meters tall.
