Zodiac

Round and around – where will the Zodiac take you?

Zodiac is a staple theme park ride. In pictures it may look like a Ferris wheel but in fact, this spinning wheel of centripetal force rotates as fast as 45rpm, starting out flat and tilting to an 87° angle into the sky. There are no restraints or seat belts on Zodiac – but don’t worry, it’s built like that! Riders sit in pods and because of the speed of rotation of the wheel, centripetal force keeps riders firmly in their seats even when practically vertical as they spin above the Lost City!

Once securely locked into your pods, the ride starting and you rotate around the central axis. At first it’s like going in a high-speed roundabout, then suddenly the ride lifts up out of the ground on a central arm and sends riders spinning into the spies above. After two minutes, Zodiac begins to slow and the ride returns to its normal position, ready for its next batch of willing adventurers!
