NEW: Sunkid Sundancer Family Ride
Sunkid presents its new family ride SUNDANCER -
Double interactive fun for the whole family
Short overview:
The Sundancer moves along its circular path in two dimensions, and on its axis at the same time. Centrifugal forces are experienced and controlled in three different ways; as a circular track of the gondola around the center, as rotation of the gondola around its vertical axis, and pivoting of the gondola.

In detail:
The concept of the Sunkid Sundancer follows in the footsteps of traditional family rides by Sunkid Heege. Minimal space requirements for medium capacity with maximum fun factor for the whole family was at the very top of the designers target specs. Even the simple operation – recognizable at the entrance gate, which is already in use for the Butterfly, Luna Loop and Nautic Jet – has been implemented with the best tradition in mind. The Sundancer moves along its circular path in two dimensions, just like a planet orbiting around the sun and on its axis at the same time. Passengers experience a completely new thrill on the ride as the cabin tilts at increasing speeds, the enthusiasm of which was clear to see upon extensive customer testing.
Twice the interactivity
Great emphasis was also placed on the issue of interactivity with the Sundancer: it's not only the rotation of the cabin that the passengers can control themselves, but also the rotational speed of the cabin around the center. And the greater the circumferential speed, the further the cabin tilts out. Possibilities for individualized theming and even a multimedia setting are virtually limitless.
