Popular Fairground Ride-Octopus Ride

The Octopus fairground ride Patented in the USA in 1936 by Lee Ulric Eyerly the ride was given its name simply because of its 8 radial arms, each with a two-seater spinning car attached to each end.



Many such machines were produced by American firm Lusse. The Octopus was manufactured under license in the UK by Hayes Fabrication during the late 1950s and early 60s. The Octopus is a fast exciting ride that not only gives a see-saw motion, as the arm rises and fall, but a wildly spinning sensation as the car rotates quickly. It waned in popularity during the late 1970s, although a few are still traveled. Juvenile versions were also produced. Zhengzhou Beston manufactures quality giant octopus ride with factory price. You can check it here in this link.

The Octopus is a type of amusement ride in the shape of an octopus. Five to eight arms attached to a central axis spin and move up and down in random, while cars at the end of the arms, either attached directly to the arm or fixed on spinning crosses, spin freely or stay in place, depending on the exactly type of ride. Each Octopus ride has the arms attached the middle of the ride. The middle of the ride will move somehow (Octopus head, Spider cylinder object, and so on). Most octopus rides require guests to be at least 42 inches to ride without an adult; smaller children must have an adult with them.
