This impressive ride begins with the seats all on the ground, and the main arm horizontal. The main arm will lift up and the 6 arms connected to the seats will begin to revolve. The seats are also unlocked to rotate freely on their own axis. The main arm will eventually becoame vertical to the ground and then being to rotate twice, as the 6 arms continue to spin on their own axis. Riders are flipped and turned every which way, up to 59 feet high. It surprisingly does not make one sick. The ride will then reverse itself and come down and lock. It is a very fun ride. Riders are secured by a locking over-the-shoulder bar.
