Space Cruise is an overhead roller coaster with suspended cabins that travel along an elevated track. It suits parks and attractions seeking a smooth, quiet ride with customizable layout and capacity.
Figures below are the design values for this model. Site-specific engineering is confirmed per project.
Space Cruise is an overhead roller coaster (overhead sightseeing ride) that combines elevated track travel with suspended cabins. Passengers board a cabin that hangs beneath a drive unit running inside a track supported by columns. The ride provides elevated views and is suitable for parks and attractions looking for a smooth, quiet experience with customizable layout and capacity.
The ride consists of columns, track, drive cabins, and suspended gondolas. The track can be customized in length and height to fit your site. The standard track height is 9 m, with Class B for heights under 10 m and Class A for heights of 10 m or more. Each cabin carries 6 passengers. The number of cabins is customizable, with a recommended density of 5 cabins per kilometer of track. The drive cabin includes a UPS that can power the cabin back to the station in case of a power failure. A track switching mechanism allows multiple stations and quick removal of a faulty cabin from the circuit. Cabin door closing is interlocked with departure.
The footprint and track length are customized to your site. The ride requires a power supply of 3N+PE 380V/220V 50Hz. Installed capacity depends on the number of cabins. The complete unit has a design service life of 25 years, and cabins have a design service life of 15 years. Installation follows project-specific engineering drawings. The ride is designed to the standards required by your market, confirmed per project.
Operation requires trained staff. At least three trained operators and one trained maintenance technician should be available. Rescue equipment includes two-way radios, a ladder truck (contact local fire department if needed), and a medical ambulance (contact local medical services if needed). In case of a drive cabin fault, the following cabin can push it back to the station. For power failure, the UPS automatically returns cabins to the station. For mechanical jams, staff can use a ladder truck to evacuate passengers. Evacuation time varies by scenario, with a target of under one hour for full evacuation. The ride operates smoothly and quietly, with door interlocks and emergency procedures in place.
The questions park developers ask most about this ride — answered without the sales language.
The standard track height is 9 m, but it can be customized. Equipment class is B for track heights under 10 m and A for heights of 10 m or more. The final height depends on your site and requirements, confirmed per project.
Each cabin holds 6 passengers. The number of cabins is customizable, with a recommended density of 5 cabins per kilometer of track. Capacity can be adjusted to match your expected visitor flow.
Each drive cabin has a UPS that automatically provides power to return the cabin to the station. Staff then manually open the cabin doors and guide passengers to evacuate. This procedure is practiced and takes approximately 30–40 minutes for full evacuation.

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.
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.
Three independent door opening safeguards — mechanical lock, electrical sensor, and control system verification — eliminate passenger entrapment risk under all operating conditions.
Dual independent braking mechanisms with fail-safe engagement ensure controlled deceleration even in the event of primary system failure, meeting Class A ride standards.
Continuous sensor-based monitoring of vibration, temperature, and load distribution provides instant anomaly detection and automatic shutdown when parameters exceed safe thresholds.
Integrated auxiliary drive and manual release mechanisms enable safe passenger evacuation from any position, including during power outages or extreme weather conditions.
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.
