Second marquee for an established park
If you already run a pendulum ride or a coaster and need to spread queue pressure, a windmill adds a second high-capacity thrill without duplicating the motion.
The speed windmill combines rotation with a rocking arm motion, producing a disorienting, high-energy cycle that flat rides cannot match. It is the natural second marquee for parks that already run a pendulum ride and want a second high-throughput attraction.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Seats | 24–36 riders |
| Motion | Full rotation combined with vertical rocking of the arm assembly |
| Rotation | Adjustable through VFD, typically 8–12 rpm |
| Installed power | 45–75 kW |
| Supply | 380 V / 220 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz (60 Hz on request) |
| Footprint | Ø16–20 m including the swept envelope |
| Design service life | 15 years for the steel structure |
| Control | PLC with fault display, cycle counter and adjustable speed profile |

Most flat rides give you one motion. A speed windmill gives you two at once: the passenger carrier rotates continuously while the whole arm assembly rocks through a vertical arc. The combination removes the predictable rhythm that lets riders anticipate the next move, which is exactly why it feels more intense than the individual motions would suggest.
For operators, that translates into a ride with a short cycle, a quick queue and a strong visual identity. The open steel structure shows the motion from every angle in the park, so a windmill placed near an entrance or along a main walkway markets itself.
If you already run a pendulum ride or a coaster and need to spread queue pressure, a windmill adds a second high-capacity thrill without duplicating the motion.
The compact footprint and the fact that riders stay within a defined swept circle make it usable at the edge of an indoor hall or covered plaza.
The drive and control can be specified for repeated dismantling, with a folding structure option and a documented packing plan.
Rotor blades, hub covers and lighting can be sculpted to a theme — industrial, floral, turbine or a completely bespoke design.

A pendulum ride swings a gondola through an arc driven by gravity and motor torque; the passengers travel a long, dramatic path. A windmill rotates its carrier while the arm rocks, keeping riders closer to the centre but subjecting them to two simultaneous motions. The pendulum is the bigger visual spectacle; the windmill has the shorter queue.
Plan for a swept circle of 16–20 m in diameter including fencing, and allow 380 V three-phase plus neutral and earth at 45–75 kW. The foundation is a single reinforced pad; we supply the load cases for your structural engineer.
Yes, if specified at order. We offer a transport configuration with a sectional structure, quick-connect wiring looms and a documented dismantling sequence so the ride can be relocated without re-engineering.
A standard speed windmill leaves the workshop 60–90 days after deposit, depending on theming and whether the transport configuration is required. Shipping adds 20–45 days depending on destination port.
Plot size, power supply and target riders per hour are enough for us to recommend a model and send a layout sketch.
