Giant Discovery 40 | Large Pendulum Swing
40 Riders · 44.8m Height · 110 km/h · 600 pph · Factory Direct
Sky-High Thrills! The Ultimate Pendulum Sensation
The Giant Discovery 40 is an evolution of the popular Discovery flat ride. Riders sit in outward-facing suspended seats that form a giant circle of 40 passengers; their legs dangle freely, and each seat has an individual shoulder restraint and restraining belt. Giant Discovery 40 swings riders back and forth in a seemingly out-of-control pendulum motion while rotating counterclockwise. At the peak of the pendulum movement that reaches a maximum speed of 110 km/h (68 mph), riders are upside down 44.8 meters (147 feet) above the ground and experience airtime – that coveted feeling of weightlessness popular with thrill-seekers. The dynamic return drop generates a variety of sensations depending on each rider’s specific position in the counterclockwise rotation, creating a different ride experience each time. This massive pendulum ride is the perfect focal point for any theme park – captivating by vibrant colors, it’s visually stimulating and easily becomes an iconic attraction.
