Ride Description
Not the most exciting ride but adds to the Alton magic and helps bring more families to the park. The ride is pendulum-based like Blade, it works by using both the pendulum effect to give riders the feeling of motion whilst the room rotates. This giving an illusion of spinning through 360º. The ride is made more unsafe because there are no bars across you.
