World Record Pendulum! 52.5m (172 ft) of Pure Thrill
Ascend to new heights of thrill with the Giga Discovery, towering at a record-breaking 52.5 meters (172 ft) above the ground. Surging at speeds of up to 110 kilometers per hour, this motorized swing with a rotating swivel joint propels its 40 riders back and forth, offering a breathtaking view of the world below. The ride features an innovative design, driven by an octagonal rotating center with eight arms. Each arm hosts a group of seats, with five seats in each group, resulting in an impressive total capacity of 40 riders. Each passenger enjoys an individual seat, secured by an over-the-shoulder restraint. Debuting in 2018 at Six Flags Magic Mountain, the Zamperla Giga Discovery has redefined the thrill experience, elevating riders higher and faster than ever before. This massive pendulum ride is the perfect focal point for any theme park – impossible to miss and designed to grab attention day and night.
