Australian Amusement Fanatics

I came across this Crazy Ride or Maybe its the way it been operated although it seem to be common practice really

Seems the object is to either dislodge the riders from their seats or Give them spinal injuries

I can just see that getting the ok to operate here ...... NOT, anyway looks silly.

im pretty sure they are commonly known as a tagada in england and i think there used to be one here (not 100% though) and im also sure they move to the beat of the music

You Are Correct PNC found this on wikipedia Sound even more crazy now

A tagada is an amusement ride made by various manufacturers. Riders sit in a round bowl with no seatbelts or restraints. There are bars behind the riders which they hold onto. The ride starts to spin, the music starts playing and hydraulic arms bounce the riders up and down.

The Tagada is operated by a human operator, he will synchronize the bounces with the music bit. Most operators give time for riders to get to their seats again before making the ride bounce. Sometimes riders will be told the ride is over and the gates will not open and the operator will restart the ride making everyone fall over and then open the gates.This mostly happens in Germany.

Yeh would probably be better if they had padded flooring and seats. Be a good ride to have a laugh with all your mates on

Hi I'm new here but I just HAD to comment on this ride. It looks hilarious, and a little dangerous lol. "Ok, that's $10.....oh and can you just sign this disclaimer thanks!"

Welcome Coco, (love the name) you are free to comment on whatever you like, thats what we want.

This is one of the craziest rides that i have seen. I would love for one of these to come to Australia

There was only ever one FLYING CIRCUS made, I think Barth still own it.... very unique piece

That things amazing, very heavy ride by the looks and from what I've heard. Came across a few photos of it racked a while ago, massive trailers its moved on

Yes Flying Circus sure is unique. It premiered around 1996 and was the first and only ride manufactured by Waagner Biro (of Austria) a specialist in building bridges and lifts. I think it is now in an amusement park in Eastern Europe somewhere.

its very much the same action of the insanity.

I don't doubt that at all - the pressures on the arm connecting to the backdrop would be huge.

Must be a very strong backdrop

I am so glad that guy was thrown off, I did not like him the moment the clip started, check him out with that stupid cigarette, tool, I did like the ride concept

hahaha great soundtrack (that cool guy smoking the cig had it coming!)

Pity he didn't keep that (cough cough) cigarette in his mouth while on the (cough cough) ride and choked on it when he got chucked off.

Sccoters are for pussies in Russia They use a car

Using a Lada Niva as the tow car? Those things wouldn't pull the skin off custard. The old skoot would have 3 times the power of the Niva.
