Topple Tower is a ride from the Bremen-based ride manufacturer HUSS Rides , which consists of a tiltable tower on which the gondola with the 40 passengers screws up. In contrast to the gyro tower , the Topple Tower tilts up to 60 degrees several times when the gondola has reached the top of the Topple Tower. The beak of the top of the tower, designed as a bird's head, always points towards the ground in order to be particularly close to the surrounding audience.
The first Topple Towers were put into operation in 2005 in Bellewaerde Park (Belgium), Walibi Lorraine (now Walygator Park) in France and in Mysterious Island, part of the Zhuhai Ocean Resort, China.
