The ride features a pair of four-seater planes
mounted to the end of two rotating arms.
Passengers control the roll, yaw and speed of the
planes using joysticks and touch screen controls,
or sit back and enjoy the experience on “auto
pilot.”
The main arms rotate at up to 15rpm (or
100km/h on auto pilot) while each plane can turn
at up to 17rpm on the interactive setting. Two
joysticks are included per plane, meaning all riders
are within reach of the controls. Additional features
include a regenerative power system that puts
electricity back into the network when the planes
are stood still.
Themed to fit in with its surroundings in the
Orient section of the park, the ride’s planes feature
wings decorated with gold leaf and onion-shaped
domes covered in lights. The design of the planes
calls to mind early aviation history.
”Tivoli will never be completed, said Georg
Carstensen, the founder of Tivoli, and this is still
our belief today,” declares Tivoli managing director
Lars Liebst. “Our new ride that offers a truly unique
experience – and one so wild that it is only for the
most courageous of visitors.”
