Spin Out (Ride)

Spin Out (Ride)

The Spin Out is a claw type of ride. The claw has seats, and is attached to an arm. It spins 360 degrees while rotating upside-down. There is a turntable underneath the ride that turns in the opposite direction.

The ride has six rows of four seats each, 24 seats in all. The operator of the ride manually locks the seats.

pin Out's Theme

The theme is of a race car going out of control. Other themes include El Nino (Destruction), Maelstrom at Morey's Pier, and Dragon's Claw at Adventureland.

Manufacturer

The manufacturer of this ride is Tivoli, along with KMG. The ride in the US is sold through Amtech, acting as a representative of Tivoli. KMG has come up with a ride called Move It, which is essentially the same ride with the same technical specs. The Spin Out requires riders to be 52 inches and taller; the Move It has the same rules.

Problems

Spin Out does have some problems with its mechanical engineering, however. There may be wiring issues involving the seats, and the main bearing for the ride is also prone to breaking.

imilar Ride

There is another, similar ride called the Top Star Tour, with the major difference being increased capacity and that the whole hydraulic system lifts the ride completely up and over.
