this is a amazing flat ride that could actually work in the real world! only when the floor drops it reveals something to give that thrill factor like water spikes or fire.
Oh, yeah: at night the water jets would flash with changing coloured lights! I don't think the fire is a good idea though, it would look amazing and scare the sh!t out of riders but having fire directly below riders is a No No, unless it's very tame little gas jets maybe, turned off when it's windy
@Superkyllingibsen Thanks for the tips :) I had to keep the center rotation slow, b/c there was a fine balance to the random rotation of the seats: too fast and half of them would flip the same way every time; too slow and the other half would just oscillate back and forth. The random movement of the seats also warrants a slower rotation, due to unpredictable negative g's. Arms spin in opposite directions so their paths can interfere and create the effect of constant collisions between riders.
I would go more of the booster design with the free-spinning seats and put the axis more near the head. That way, there's more weight on one side than the other and creates a more extreme ride. Other than that, AMAZING WORK!
nannerdw it would be better without the moving floor, more reliable. Could the arms be configured to raise the arms at a more acute angle to avoid hitting a fixed floor?
Exactly I thought the same thing. The riders in the most outer position during the spinning cycle are also in the lowest position. Double the G force. That's why most rides like this with spinning crosses on the arms of a bigger carousel, do the opposite: you reach the highest point on the outside. This results in a much smoother ride.
This kind of reminds me of like a next-generation Scrambler flat ride. Nice Work! 10/10 Would ride again!

Jacob Nichols and time the water jets to just miss the cars as they whip around the hub, squirt squirt, lol

I appear to be 11 years too late but I'd ride this shit out of this

i would love to see this come to life im an extreme coastesr and flat ride fiend this concept is an awesome idea

This is excellent!
Extremely cool
Any link to the full version of this track? TH-cam has a shorter version
Those gondolas are strong!(the arms that are attached to the seats)
Its kinda like a Zamperla Power Surge but with loads of arms :)
I love it!!! But next time, I recommend an upwards base, like a tower. But I still love it!
How would the people in the middle get on and off?
what would be the dimensions of such a ride ?
Arm axes of rotation are on a 12m dia. circle, in loading position.
Seat axes of rotation are on 7.3m dia. circles.
max angle: 45 degrees
the tea cups Just...Grew...UP!
how long did it take for you to create this model/animation
This is eerily similar to the Moser Rides Twin Flip.
If Booster and NebulaZ had a child
This looks like an epic Black Revolver from Drayton Manor
Build it Zamperla
I'd put it in my park if I owned one.
The floor would raise back up at the end ;)

Wouldn't work the force would snap peoples necks
Quess McDonald-Quay not really, look at the huss booster. If the people are locked up good then nothing will happen
Brian Dijkhuis not with G force I'm third generation in the industry, with safety issues and regulations it wouldn't work on the body
Quess McDonald-Quay that is also true
It reminds me of a KMG Experience

I almost vomited just watching this
This will create a huge pile of puke :o
