Super Star (ride) (original) (raw)

Super Star is a fairground ride once manufactured by Northern Amusements (NA Superides). The construction of the ride involves a single boom arm which twists around its own axle, lifting a spinning frame of 8 main arms with a 4-person seat gondola. In the rear of the gondola there is a hydraulic ram which pulls the seating units into an outward position. Once in this position the riders will be at a 90 degree angle when the ride is lifted to its 45 degree position. A safety system will then engage at the bottom of the ride to prevent the gondola from coming down in the event of an emergency.
