Engineering & Craftsmanship

Overview

The 12-Person Blue Artistic Carousel is a double-deck carousel designed for parks and attractions. It carries up to 68 riders per cycle, with 60 horses and 4 cars. The ride rotates at 3.6 rpm and completes a cycle in 5 minutes. Its 14.2 m height and 9.3 m swing diameter make it a visible landmark in any midway or themed area.

Design and build

The upper and lower rotating platforms are independently suspended from a central column. A single column with diagonal bracing forms the main support structure. The drive system uses a geared motor and open gear to rotate the platforms, while a crank-link mechanism makes the horses move up and down. The design service life is 15 years under normal operating conditions.

  • Central column and diagonal bracing for structural stability.
  • Independent control of upper and lower decks.
  • Interlocked start system: doors and maintenance panels must be closed.
  • Variable frequency drive fault interlock prevents operation if a fault is detected.

Site and installation

The ride requires a fixed foundation and a footprint of 200 m² (16 m diameter). It is designed for a power supply of 22 kVA. Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel following the provided engineering drawings. The ride is designed to the standards required by your market, confirmed per project. Site preparation should account for the 14.2 m overall height and the need for safe access to both decks for maintenance and evacuation.

Operating notes

Before each cycle, operators must complete the pre-start interlock sequence: press the pre-start button, then the start button. The ride will not start if the upper deck exit door is open, if maintenance doors are open, or if the variable frequency drive reports a fault. In an emergency, press the emergency stop to cut power. Rescue personnel can then manually push the upper deck to align with the stair platform and guide passengers to exit via the stairs. Regular inspections and maintenance are essential to achieve the 15-year design life.

Frequently asked questions

The questions park developers ask most about this ride — answered without the sales language.

01What is the rider capacity per cycle?

The ride carries 68 riders per cycle: 60 horses (1 person each) and 4 cars (2 persons each). The cycle time is 5 minutes, including loading and unloading. This capacity suits parks with moderate to high visitor flow.

02What are the site requirements for installation?

The ride requires a fixed foundation and a footprint of 200 m² (16 m diameter). The overall height is 14.2 m. A power supply of 22 kVA is needed. Site preparation must follow the provided engineering drawings and local building codes.

03How is emergency evacuation handled?

In an emergency, the operator presses the emergency stop to cut power. Rescue staff then manually push the upper deck to align with the stair platform, allowing passengers to exit via the stairs. This procedure is practiced during staff training.

04Safety

Multi-Layer Safety Protection

Every ZhipaoRides product is engineered with redundant, fail-safe systems that meet or exceed international amusement ride safety standards. From electrical interlocks to structural redundancy, we leave nothing to chance.

  • Mandatory Safety Interlock

    Forced electrical interlocking prevents any unauthorized or unsafe startup. The system requires all safety conditions to be met before operation can begin, eliminating human-error risks.

  • Triple-Layer Cabin Door Protection

    Three independent door opening safeguards — mechanical lock, electrical sensor, and control system verification — eliminate passenger entrapment risk under all operating conditions.

  • Redundant Braking System

    Dual independent braking mechanisms with fail-safe engagement ensure controlled deceleration even in the event of primary system failure, meeting Class A ride standards.

  • Real-Time Condition Monitoring

    Continuous sensor-based monitoring of vibration, temperature, and load distribution provides instant anomaly detection and automatic shutdown when parameters exceed safe thresholds.

  • Emergency Evacuation System

    Integrated auxiliary drive and manual release mechanisms enable safe passenger evacuation from any position, including during power outages or extreme weather conditions.

  • Full-Life NDT Quality Control

    Non-destructive testing at every production stage — from raw material to final assembly — ensures structural integrity backed by 25-year design life certification.

Our safety systems undergo rigorous third-party testing and certification to meet or exceed GB 8408 (Chinese national standard) and EN 13814 (European standard) requirements. Each ride is equipped with multiple redundant safety mechanisms, ensuring passenger protection at all times. From the factory floor to the final installation site, our engineering team conducts comprehensive safety audits, load tests, and operational simulations before any ride enters service.
