The Booster funfair ride has become an extremely common ride on European funfairs, particular in the UK. This is due to a combination of the ride's spectacular visual impact, and its highly practical operation. The ride can be transported on only one trailer, and requires just three hours to build upThe ride is primarily a 37 metre arm, connected midway to the main support of the ride. Two sets of two seats are mounted at the end of each arm, back to back. Each four-seat assembly can swing through 360 degrees.
The arm rotates at up to 13 revolutions per minute, producing an acceleration of 3.5g on the riders. Riders should be 52 inches tall or more.
A drop tower or big drop is based around a central structure or tower the Gondola is then lifted to the top of a large vertical structure, before being released and falling towards the ground. Brakes activate to slow the ride prior to reaching the ground. Some designs expand on this concept, some with riders being 'bounced' several times before coming to a rest.
The Reverse Bungee (or catapult bungee, or Ejecton Seat)
The ride consists of two telescopic gantry towers mounted on a platform, which feed two elastic ropes down to a two person passenger sphere. The sphere is secured to the platform with an electro-magnet as the elastic ropes are stretched. When the electromagnet is turned off, the passenger car is catapulted vertically with a of 3–5, reaching an altitude of between 50 and 80 metres.
