Huss Park Attractions, the German ride manufacturer, has supplied over 45 attractions to amusement parks in China over the last two decades. Two of the most recent additions are the family-friendly Giant aka King Kong at Fantasy Valley Xiangyang and the thrill ride Top Spin Suspended at Happy Valley Nanjing.
Wrath of the Yeti
Wrath of the Yeti is a HUSS King Kong at OCT Fantasy Valley Xiangyang in China. The family ride is located in the Kunlun Fairyland-themed area and has proven popular with park guests, making it a hot spot for photos and check-ins.
One of the most successful HUSS family rides, King Kong features interesting movements combined with a striking design and engaging special effects. The concept is inspired by the iconic King Kong movie, featuring a giant gorilla who appears to lift the ride gondola into the air.
The ride is actuated by a hydraulic system. Riders board the gondola on the floor, and then the giant King Kong figure begins to stand, lifting the gondola simultaneously. Once upright, he shakes the gondola, producing gentle swinging movements. Once the riders reach the head of King Kong, special effects include sound, mist, shining eyes and seat vibrators.
With a capacity of up to 24 passengers, the entire structure reaches a maximum height of 12.7 metres, with a footprint of just 11.3 metres by 9.5 metres.
Perfect Storm
Meanwhile, Huss Park Attractions also supplied a Top Spin Suspended to OCT Happy Valley Nanjing in China. Called Perfect Storm, it can be found in the park’s Forest Mysterious Area.
The Top Spin is among the most popular offerings from Huss Park Attractions and can be found in amusement parks globally. The Top Spin Suspended model includes 38 seats configured in a back-to-back (B2B) arrangement, with each row facing the opposite way.
This state-of-the-art suspended seating setup delivers an exciting floorless gondola experience, enhancing the sensation of freedom. It enables different ride patterns, like pendulum movements of the gondola, circular rotations from any angle, abrupt turns upon releasing the drum brake, and multiple spins around its suspension axis. Top Spin Suspended also includes special effects.
Another recent example is the new Toxicator ride at Alton Towers Resort in the UK, the highest Top Spin ride of its kind.
