Round Up

round up Carnival ride

A Fast & Furious Carnival Classic!

Rage in the cage! Riders defy gravity as they are pinned to the wall in this ultimate fairground thrill machine. The Round Up is a must for all fetes, fairs and festivals due to it's spectacular appearance, compact size, high capacity, and high appeal to such a wide age group. An impressive turnover of 30 riders every 6 minutes, makers the Round Up the perfect choice for Ride Pass events.

Specifications

  • Suitability: Round Up is an amusement ride consisting of a circular horizontal platform with a vertical cage-like wall around the edge. The ride starts out by spinning until the centrifugal force is enough to push riders against the wall. Then the arm raises the horizontal platform to a vertical position in which riders, instead of spinning horizontally, are now spinning almost vertically. Riders experience weightlessness at the top of the ride, combined with strong gravitational forces. This attraction is extremely popular with younger children and teenagers suiting ages 7 years and over.
  • Supervision: The Hurricane is fully supervised at all times by at least one staff member who has been trained in all aspects of the ride's operations. The ride attendant's duties include ensuring all riders meet the Height Requirement, hold a ticket or Ride Pass (if applicable), and are properly positioned with the safety chain in place.

  • Loose Articles: Leave all loose articles such as bags and phones with friends or the ride operator.
  • Do Not Over-Ride: Frequent use of the Round Up can lead to motion sickness. Have a break from riding from time to time, which will allow the stomach to settle.
  • Keep Feet on the Floor: Riders must keep their feet on the floor of the Round Up at all times.
  • No Selfies!: Do not attempt to take photos during the ride. Mobile Phones would present a danger to other riders and spectators if they dislodge and become airborne.

  • Report Hazards: If you see a condition that is not safe, report this to the ride operator.
  • You Should be Fit to Ride: Many rides create forces and speeds that may be physically challenging to some riders and may cause injury to those with pre-existing conditions. Riders must be in good health to ride.
