UFO Flying Disco

The flying disco coaster is the ride that turns a flat platform into a 33 km/h run. One vehicle of 24 riders climbs a curved rail, spins on a turntable at the top and comes back down the other side. If the plot suits a coaster instead, тот 180я сумасшедшая мышь fits 17 х 28 м, и летающий проигрыватель delivers a similar turn on a flat platform.

It stands 9.4 м, needs a 27 х 13 m plot and ships in two 40HQ containers. For a park adding its first high-energy ride, that is a compact package with a large presence.

What a flying disco does that a flat ride cannot

A flat ride turns you in place. This one turns you in place and moves you along a rail at the same time, so the two motions arrive together and the ride reads as a coaster from the walkway.

That combination is why operators call it a coaster even though it is a single vehicle on a short track. Visitors queue for the movement, not for the height.

А 12.6 m rail radius defines your plot

The rail radius is 12.6 m and the land area is 27 х 13 м. Get the plot right before you compare prices, because the layout decides how much fencing, queue and landscaping the project needs.

The turntable at the top is 6.5 m across. It is where the ride slows, spins and turns back, and it is the part visitors photograph.

Twenty-four riders, one vehicle

One vehicle carries 24 people and the operating time is two to three minutes, регулируемый. That cycle is short, so the queue moves, and the vehicle is large enough that a group boards in one turn.

Operating speed reaches 9.2 РС, о 33 км/ч, with the turntable running up to 9.7 об/мин. In normal operation the turntable is set between 7 и 8 об/мин, which is where most parks run it.

Драйв и мощность: 51.5 кВт

The drive is 51.5 кВт, split between a 44 kW running motor and a 7.5 kW turntable motor. Transmission is gear drive plus a friction wheel, a combination chosen for a rail this short.

The ride is a fixed installation on a 380 V supply, with a design service life of 15 годы. Confirm the cable route and the cabinet position while the foundation is still open.

Where it has been installed

Units from this range run at Vinpearl Phu Quoc in Vietnam, at Owa in Alabama and at Lost Island in Iowa. Those three sites cover a resort, a coastal park and a destination park, which is the range of settings the ride suits.

If your site is a city park with a lighter footfall pattern, тот 180m crazy mouse coaster gives a full circuit in a 17 х 28 m plot and is easier to justify on ticket income.

Price and delivery

The indicative factory price starts at US$78,500, shipping in 2 x 40HQ контейнеров примерно 15,400 кг. Груз, foundation and installation labour are quoted for your site.
