Pendulum & Frisbee Rides
Swinging and rotating gondola rides. The highest adrenaline, the tallest structure, the smallest plot relative to impact.
Read moreOne page for every large-format ride we build. Each model page carries the footprint, installed power, capacity per hour and design life you need to check a site before you commit to a budget.
Thrill hardware is not interchangeable. A pendulum ride sells a different experience from a coaster, and they make very different demands on your plot, your power supply and your maintenance team. Start with the family that fits your site.

Read moreEverything below is taken from the model pages. Use it to shortlist before you read the detail.
| Ride family | Model range | Capacity | Typical footprint | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pendulum / Frisbee | 25, 30, 42 seats · 24-seat frisbee | 23–42 riders per cycle | 11 × 10 m to 20 × 18 m | Flagship thrill zones, large outdoor parks |
| Pirate ship | 16, 24, 36 seats | 16–36 riders per cycle | 6 × 4 m to 18 × 10 m | Malls, family parks, mid-size outdoor parks |
| Roller coaster | 266 m family · 285 m jungle mouse · 730 m looper | 10–24 riders per train | 38 × 28 m to 150 × 60 m | Parks with land and a long-term investment plan |
| Swing / flying chair | 24, 36 and 56 seats | 24–56 riders per cycle | Ø18 m to Ø24 m | Any park that needs high throughput and broad age appeal |
| Drop tower | 13 m, 23 m, 35 m | 8–16 riders per cycle | Ø12 m to Ø18 m | Compact sites that need vertical drama |
| Speed windmill | 24–36 riders | 24–36 riders per cycle | Ø16–20 m | Second marquee ride, indoor-outdoor transition zones |
A 42-seat pendulum ride is roughly 19–23 m tall when swinging. If you have a low ceiling, a drop tower or flying chair ride buys more thrill per metre.
A 56-seat wave swinger moves 1,400 riders per hour; a 24-seat coaster train moves 288. Both are right — for different attendance levels.
Coasters and 360° pendulum rides need a trained mechanical team and regular NDT inspection. Pirate ships and flying chairs are far less demanding.
Rides that are visible from your entrance — pendulum arms, towers, tall swings — drive the premium ticket. Low, wide rides sit further back.

Most mid-size parks get their strongest payback from a 24 or 36-seat pirate ship or a 24–36 seat flying chair ride. Both have moderate power demand, a small footprint, high hourly capacity and low maintenance load compared with coasters. A pendulum ride is usually the second or third purchase, once the gate numbers justify the additional height and cost.
Yes. The 16-seat pirate ship, 13 m drop tower and 24-seat flying chair ride are all specified for indoor installation with reduced operating heights and quieter drive packages. We will flag indoor-specific changes such as fire-rated cabling and acoustic covers if your venue needs them.
As a rough planning figure, a zone with a 42-seat pendulum ride, a 24-seat pirate ship and a 36-seat flying chair ride occupies around 2,000–2,800 m² including queue lines, fencing and walking routes. The /solutions/ pages break this down by venue type.
No. Every ride in this catalogue is newly manufactured. Because we build to the drawings of your specific order, we can adapt seating capacity, theming and the control system without reselling someone else's asset.
Single rides are normal. We frequently ship one 16-seat pirate ship or one flying chair ride in a shared container. Combined orders for two or three rides reduce shipping and installation cost per ride significantly.
