The Craziest Ride Ive Seen

Post by tooheyzz »

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

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

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.

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

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.
