You need a signature ride
If the pendulum will be the tallest structure in the park and appear in your marketing, the 42-seat 360° machine earns its place.
This is the machine that defines a park's skyline. Forty-two riders, a 20 × 18 m plot, up to 23 m of operating height and — if you specify it — a complete 360° inversion at the top of the arc. It is the largest and most demanding ride we build.

| Cycle time | ≈180–210 s including loading |
| Throughput | ≈700–800 riders per hour |
| Design service life | 15 years |

Up to about 120°, riders stay upright throughout the cycle and the restraint system is essentially holding them in a seat. Past that point — into inversion — the restraint becomes a load-bearing safety component and the design changes accordingly: a heavier arm, a redesigned counterweight, a stronger axle assembly, dual restraint systems with individual lock sensors, and a safety circuit that will not permit a cycle unless every lock is verified closed.
The foundation changes too. Inverting rides transfer dynamic loads in directions that a swinging-only machine never produces, so the anchor pattern, concrete volume and reinforcement all increase. That is why we ask for the geotechnical report before finalising a 360° quotation.

At 700–800 riders per hour it needs a busy park to stay full. Below roughly 3,000 daily visitors, the 30-seat model is usually the better commercial decision.
A 360° machine requires scheduled inspection of restraints, axle bearings, brake elements and welds. Plan for a trained two-person team and an annual third-party inspection.
110–140 kW at 380 V may need a dedicated feeder. If your supply is limited, budget for a transformer upgrade alongside the ride.
Land survey, height and clearance check, power assessment and geotechnical review.
Structural calculations with dynamic load cases for a 360° cycle, issued to your engineer.
90–120 days, including heavy fabrication, machining of the axle assembly and hull production.
Weighted full-cycle test including inversion, third-party witnessed, with video documentation.
14–20 days on site with heavy crane support and two Dinis engineers.
Ride profile tuning, restraint system verification, operator training and handover.
Send the plot survey, geotechnical report and power supply details. We will confirm whether the 42-seat 360° machine fits, and what foundation and feeder it will need.
We reply within one working day, usually sooner. If it is urgent, call or message us on WhatsApp.
Allow clear headroom to 25–26 m above foundation level to cover the top of the arc plus a safety margin, and keep the swept envelope free all the way round. Buildings, trees, lighting masts, signage and even aerial routes for other rides need to be checked against the envelope.
The structure is designed to GB 8408 and reviewed against EN 13814 or ASTM F2291 depending on destination. We supply structural calculations, dynamic load cases, material certificates, weld inspection records, electrical documentation and a third-party ride inspection report.
Allow 10–12 months from deposit to opening: 3–4 months of design and fabrication of the heavy assemblies, shipping, then 2–3 weeks of erection and commissioning on site.
Yes. Gondola shells, lighting sequences, soundtrack and the surrounding scenery can all be developed to your theme. The structural assembly and restraint hardware remain standard so that maintenance and spare parts stay predictable.
Plot size, power supply and target riders per hour are enough for us to recommend a model and send a layout sketch.
