I was watching a few POVs on the CF YT channel (they're excellent, I suggest that you check them out :wink:) and an advert popped up for an amusement ride company. I clicked around their website and found this ride:

I'm probably just ignorant/dumb but I don't think I've seen a ride like it before. It .looks like a fair ride, which explains why I'm not familiar with it.

What does this ride do and can anybody link me to a video so I can see it in motion.

Thanks.
 
^ Thanks, so no chance of a video then.

What does it actually do though? It looks like it rocks side to side (as if balancing a ruler lengthwise on your finger).
 
^ Tbh, I don't even think it does that, I just think it would spin, it may be like one of them new KMG rides, which can accelerate REALLY quickly. If you've seen that concept?
 
Nope! I've got images of the Ska8er ride at Adventure Island though...
 
It doesn't look like it spins due to the massive sign in front of it... I'd have guessed a swooshing, slewing motion from side to side, a bit like a snow boarder slalom?
 
So yeah, crap then?
 
Looks a bit like Over the Top but the mechanism underneath doesn't appear to tilt like OTT does, and as Furie mentioned, the spinning of the platofmr looks out of the question. The individual cars couldn't spin either due to the width of the platform.

Anyway, heres a video of Over the Top if you want.

That company also make a ride called a Crazy Raft. I assume its the same, looking at this:

It does this...

This one also appears to actually be called "Bell's Crazy Raft". So really, I don't know why you're asking, if you own it?! ;)

PS. That company also make those bonkers coasters that I always just thought was RCT's crap attempt at rendering a EuroFighter... until last week when I saw an actual vid of one on youtube.
 
Ah, so it's basically a big bucking bronco thing.

I must be owed thousands of £'s of royalties for that. Thanks for letting me know, Vadge, I'll chase it up.
 
It looks like a younger brother version of the Fabbri Contact;
