SPINNER
RIDE CATEGORY: FAMILY/TEENAGE
​
The Spinner is one of our most popular rides and is definitely a family favorite! It can ride up to 36 people at a time and is a fast-paced ride that swings the riders through the air in one of six baskets. The riders can also spin their basket if they desire while they are flying round and round through the air. The rider does not have to spin, but mostly everyone does. Everyone loves this ride because six people can ride together in one basket; it is fast enough for a thrill ride yet calm enough that the younger ones can also enjoy. Accommodates about 400 to 500 riders per hour and it requires a 50-foot circle. Height requirement is 42 inches to ride alone unless with adult or responsible person.
