The Captain's Wheel
is an intense spinning ride, which hurls riders upside down!
The ride is an "Enterprise"
model, built by HUSS
Rides and came to the park with Henk Bembom
in 2003, to replace the chair-o-planes which left with the previous
owner.
The layout consists of a large wheel
with 20 gondolas
around the circumference, each seating two people. The ride
rotates clockwise then rises up almost to vertical on its arm,
spinning the riders upside down.
The ride does not have any seatbelts or
restraints, but relies on centrifugal
force to keep riders seated. This creates a powerful
sensation for riders.
