High Altitude Flying Ride Specifications
The reference tower stands 46 m tall and lifts riders to an operating height of 29.1 m on a 13.3 m rotation diameter. Eighteen seat units carry 36 guests per cycle at 10.3 rpm, driven by a 60 kW motor on a 380 V supply. The complete installation needs a footprint of about 30 m in diameter, and that figure is the first thing your civil engineer will ask for.
What a 46 m Flying Ride Adds to a Park
Height is a marketing asset: a tall flying ride can be seen from the road, photographed from the car park and advertised with a single silhouette. Operators who already run smaller swing rides such as our 24 seats flying chair ride usually add a tower flyer next, because the two attractions serve different age groups and different levels of courage.
Throughput, Cycle Time and Queue Design
A flying ride cycle runs roughly three minutes including loading and unloading, so 36 guests per cycle translates into a healthy hourly figure when two operators work the platform. Plan a queue lane that holds at least 200 guests, keep the entry beside the exit so boarding and unloading never cross, and place a shade structure along the waiting line – in a tropical park a hot queue costs you reviews.
Foundations, Wind Load and Tropical Weather
A 46 m structure concentrates a great deal of load into a compact base, so anchor bolt layout, concrete grade and soil bearing capacity must be confirmed before pouring. Seat frames, arms and the tower section are fabricated from structural steel, hot-dip galvanised and coated for humid coastal air, and the finished ride is supplied with a load test report plus a scheduled inspection programme.
