Buying notes for the 25-Seat Giant Pendulum
A 25-seat giant pendulum tells visitors what kind of park they are standing in. It swings to 100 degrés, lifts them to 14.9 m and turns them while they swing, all from an 11.6 structure.
That makes it a thrill anchor, and a thrill anchor is judged on two things: whether your park has the audience for it, and whether your plot can carry the space around it.
Why a giant pendulum earns its place in the line-up
Families buy the carousel and the train. Teenagers and young adults buy the pendulum. A park with only family rides loses that group at the gate, and they are the visitors who stay longest and spend most on a weekend.
One anchor thrill ride is usually enough to change how the park is described: not a children’s park with a few rides, but a park with something for everyone.
The safety envelope is bigger than the ride
L'empreinte est 20 x 18.5 m, but the safety envelope is 28 x 18.5 je suis avec 18 m de hauteur libre. The extra ring belongs to the swing rather than to the machine, and it is the part of the plan that catches buyers out.
Ligne de clôture, queue and landscaping all sit outside that envelope. Put a walkway behind it so the swing always happens in front of an audience.
Planning note: If your plot is tight, check the 28 x 18.5 m envelope against the drawing before you check the price. Moving the fence after installation costs more than choosing a different ride.
Vingt-cinq coureurs par cycle: what a peak hour looks like
A swing cycle including loading runs about three minutes, so plan for roughly 350 à 400 riders an hour when the queue is steady.
That throughput is why the pendulum holds a queue. Visitors can see the whole cycle from the walkway, and the ride reads as worth the wait.
Power and the drive system
La puissance installée est 80 kW: two 30 kW swing motors and a 7.5 kW rotation motor. The ride is top-driven, which keeps the mechanism above the platform and out of the visitor area.
The turntable diameter is 5.48 m and the rotation speed is capped at 7.5 RPM, so the spinning part of the cycle stays comfortable while the swing does the work.
Twelve years of design life: planning the service side
La durée de vie prévue est 12 années. Before you order, ask for the recommended spare-parts list and the inspection intervals, then match them to the maintenance team you already have.
One year of warranty is included, plus lifetime maintenance support. Most buyers keep a short list of swing and rotation parts on site so a busy weekend is never interrupted.
What the pendulum delivers
25 coureurs par cycle, 100 degrees of swing and a 14.9 m hauteur de travail. In a park with a thrill audience this is the ride that sets the ticket tier.
What to look at instead
If the plot cannot carry the envelope, le 42je vole dans le ciel works on a tighter base, et le platine volante gives you an anchor ride on 12 x 15 m.
