As the pandemic-induced regulations governing large gatherings and home lockdowns become a thing of the past many families and groups are now once again free to explore the leisure opportunities presented by amusement parks and fairgrounds.
Both of these types of venues have seen steadily increasing visitor numbers in the past month as parents seek to wean their children off the steady diet of Internet entertainment and flat screens and friends seek to spend some quality time exploring the fun and excitement that is provided by amusement parks and funfairs.
Part of the attraction of these entertainment destinations is without doubt the varied number of rides that can be enjoyed – and for many visitors that includes the rides that are guaranteed to get the adrenaline to spike. These thrill rides are extremely popular, however choosing between two of the most popular, the pendulum ride, and the pirate ship carnival ride for sale can be a challenge for the ride operator. After all, is there a difference between the two, and if so, what are the differences?
Knowing more about pendulum rides and pirate ship rides can make the investment decision that much easier.
As the name would suggest, Pirate Ship rides are designed to resemble the classic pirate ships that have made an appearance on the Silver Screen and in literature. The ‘deck’ of this ‘Pirate Ship’ has eaten for a varied number of riders. Once riders are seated the ‘Pirate Ship’ begins to move back and forth along an arc, the motion rapidly picks up speed until the ‘Ship’ is almost vertical. The height of travel is different for each model of this popular ride, however, the views at the top of that travel arc, when the ride reaches its highest point are usually incredible – and getting to those heights is part of the thrill. This is a ride that will not disappoint riders who want to get their heart rate up.
Pendulum rides also offer an adrenaline-intensive and definitely thrilling experience for riders – especially when those riders are enjoying some of the larger models that are available. This ride also operates on the ‘pendulum principle’, but does not feature the Pirate Ship appearance. However, these pendulum rides add to the thrill be having a spinning gondola at the end of each arm of the pendulum amusement park ride for sale. The net result is that riders will be subject to the pendulum action and the spin of the gondola, meaning that on certain of these rides, it is actually possible for riders to be completely inverted some of the time. Again. the views from the top of the arc are impressive – but some riders may be a little too disorientated to enjoy them. It’s all part of the thrill.
It’s extremely difficult to choose which of these rides offers the biggest thrill. However, it’s about fun. Adults may enjoy the frenetic action and heart-stopping thrills of the giant pendulum rides, but children will be captivated by the Pirate Ship experience – and it may also be the superior ‘family fun’ option.
The key to choosing which of these rides from WWW.bestonamusementrides.com is most suitable for an entertainment destination depends to a large extent on the operators gauging the needs of their target audiences and which ride will appeal to that audience – and therefore maximize visitor numbers and profit.
