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.



Height = 60ft
Tilt angle = 87°
Capacity = 40 per ride
Restriction: Over 1.4m



The Captain's Wheel is one of the tallest rides in the park, when fully upright, and is a prominent feature in Pirate Cove.
