Overview
The W-Type Dream Flying Car is a fixed roller coaster that combines a W-shaped track with a rotating turntable. Riders sit on the turntable, which spins as the car moves back and forth along the track, creating a dual motion similar to surfing. The ride accommodates up to 24 passengers per cycle and runs for approximately 180 seconds. It is designed for amusement parks, family entertainment centers, and resorts looking for a compact, interactive thrill ride.
Design and build
The ride features a colorful fiberglass turntable with integrated lighting, giving it an attractive appearance. The drive system uses electric motors and a steering gear to move the car via tyre friction along the track. A separate motor drives the turntable through a slewing ring. The track height is 9.8 m and the ride height is 9.6 m, with a maximum speed of 42 km/h and a turntable speed of 10.0 r/min. The design incorporates multiple interlock controls for safety, including restraint closure, air pressure, and ride start. The ride is designed to the standards required by your market, confirmed per project.
Site and installation
The W-Type Dream Flying Car requires a footprint of 60 m by 12 m and is a fixed installation. It operates on a power supply of 3N+PE 380V/220V 50Hz with an installed capacity of 100 kVA. Site preparation should account for the track layout and turntable placement. Installation should be carried out by qualified personnel following the manufacturer's instructions.
