Teacups

Teacups

Teacups is an amusement ride characterized by cup-style spinning vehicles atop a turntable-like floor.

Operation

Typically, each set of four teacup vehicles has a circular floor or a motor capable of turning 360 degrees. The circular floor or motor sits within a larger, turntable-like floor. When in operation, the ride spins each four-cup set of vehicles while the turntable spins the entire ride base. Additionally, riders generally are able to spin each cup individually with a centrally located wheel. Some versions have 12 teacups while others have as many as 24.
