This ride is so f***ing sweet. I don't know if anyone has seen it, it's pretty new. I also don't know if anyone cares but I'm a huge flat ride fan and this concept is awesome haha.

It's like those Space Rings from RCT2 on massive steroids.

It seems like something someone like Meta would think of after he gets high.

Seen this a while ago exploding all over facebook when they just released the video.
Seems like a fun ride, if operated on manual mode. Although I was hoping on some point that the gondola could unlock and rotate freely as well.
Coastercount: 1410 (I've seen the world and it's horrid contraptions... @.@)
- Wood: 142
- Steel: 1268

Haha I thought of doing this with Larson loops inside of Larson loops. Larsonloopception
All hail your great Arrow Dynamics overlords.

Reminds me a lot of the old Zamperla Mixers...



I also kinda suspect that like the Mixer it looks more impressive than it rides.

Constant smooth rotation is just less interesting than physics.

Pretty much all the classic flat rides use gravity to generate interesting/quick movements...

Top Spin, Zipper, even the lowly Tilt-a-Whirl.
