The Moon Shake is a drop tower ride that lifts passengers and releases them in a controlled vertical drop. It suits amusement parks and attractions seeking a high-capacity thrill ride.

Engineering & Craftsmanship

Overview

The Moon Shake is a drop tower ride designed for amusement parks and attractions. It lifts passengers to a height before releasing them into a controlled vertical drop. The ride offers a thrilling experience suitable for visitors seeking high-adrenaline attractions.

Design and build

The ride is engineered with a focus on safety and reliability. Key design aspects include:

  • Passenger restraints designed for secure and comfortable fit.
  • Structural components selected for durability and outdoor use.
  • Control system allows adjustable drop sequences to suit operational needs.
  • Modular design facilitates transport and assembly.

All design elements are aligned with the standards required by your market, confirmed per project.

Site and installation

Proper site preparation is essential for safe operation. Considerations include:

  • Foundation design to be determined based on local soil conditions and engineering requirements.
  • Installation to be performed by qualified personnel following provided guidelines.
  • Site layout should account for passenger flow and emergency access.
  • Electrical and control systems to be installed per local codes.

Detailed installation manuals and support are provided to assist with site planning and setup.

Operating notes

Daily operational procedures should include:

  • Pre-opening inspections of restraints, structure, and control systems.
  • Regular maintenance checks as per the maintenance schedule.
  • Staff training on ride operation and emergency procedures.
  • Clear signage and instructions for passengers.

Operating parameters and maintenance intervals are provided in the operations manual. The ride is designed to the standards required by your market, confirmed per project.

Frequently asked questions

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

01What is the maximum passenger height and weight?

Passenger height and weight limits are determined by the restraint system design and are provided in the operations manual. These limits are established to ensure safe ride operation and must be enforced by park staff.

02What maintenance is required for the Moon Shake?

Maintenance requirements include daily inspections, periodic lubrication, and component checks as outlined in the maintenance schedule. The schedule is developed based on the ride's design and expected usage, and should be followed to ensure reliable operation.

03Can the drop sequence be customized?

The control system allows adjustable drop sequences to suit operational preferences. Customization options are discussed during project planning to align with your park's requirements and local regulations.

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.
