There are exciting rides that are unique and create great sensations, and apart from them, as one of a few there is the whirlwind. But a one single rider journey meant that only a few could really enjoy it… until now.
Fibrart, as one of the best slide manufacturers in the world, is adding to its catalog one of the best rides that can possibly exist. As exciting as the body whirlwind, but so family-oriented as the tire rides which allow you to share the emotions with your friends: Fibrart presents the tire whirlwind.
This ride uses the same sense of emotions of the body whirlwind, with the ease and comfort of using tires for slides, which makes it gentle, sufficiently rapid, with capacity for 2 riders and most definitely fun.
A ride such as the body whirlwind is a great idea, but adapting it so that it works with single or double tires is an even better idea. The only problem is that the engineering for it to work is quite complicated. An important part of the traditional whirlwind is that it ends in a free fall into a pool from 1.5 m, which cannot be done with a rider who is using a tire or much less in the case of a tire with two riders. To resolve this challenge, the only possible alternative is to place a braking channel (another great idea), but this only complicates everything even more. For this reason the way of ending this journey in a proper way and not ending with riders on tires falling into the pool, people first reach a transition which is a type of spiral in the center of a pot (which grows enormously) gently floating to finally slide to a braking channel at the floor level.
There are many details for this idea to work with one or two people in single or double tires, and these people have different weights, in order for them to reach the entrance of the spiral and from there gently reach the exit. Currently there are companies which have not resolved this problem yet and others which have it more or less resolved. Fibrart has strongly worked to resolve a problem which has been mastered by a few and in our case it has been a long journey, starting from the first whirlwind which was launched in the year 2000 up until this year when the first tire whirlwind in the United States was delivered to its owner.
If riders would have just one hour to try the best rides which currently exist, they would surely pick the tire whirlwind among their best fun attractions as is the case of the traditional body whirlwind, this will be a hit in the sales image of your park, increasing (finally) the capacity and extending the experience to family and friends.
