Booster Thrill Rides
The Booster has established itself as one of the most successful rides on the market. Its imposing dimensions and cutting-edge LED illumination create a remarkable visual impact, turning it into a signature attraction. As one vehicle docks for unloading, the other ascends to a vantage point, offering passengers a breathtaking view of the surroundings.
Technically, riders are seated back-to-back on free-spinning vehicles with their legs dangling, secured by a shoulder bar equipped with a double-locking system. Once in motion, the Booster Arm performs swift, smooth rotations. Depending on arm speed and gondola weight, the vehicles may also loop, delivering both high-adrenaline thrills and moments of serene observation.
This unique combination of intense G-forces and panoramic pauses makes the Booster a spectacular hybrid of thrill ride and observation deck, ensuring an unforgettable experience.
