Playball – Danny Reminder
Classic Huss Flipper ride with twelve gondolas
Operator: Danny Reminder (Emsbüren)
Playball Reminder is a classic travelling Huss Flipper ride. The ride was built in 1987 and is now owned by showman Danny Reminder. On this type of ride, passengers sit in gondolas on a rotating platform. The movement changes during the ride, creating a dynamic experience that is very different from a steady round on a carousel.

What to expect
Spinning gondolas and the classic Flipper sequence make every ride different.
This is how you experience Playball Reminder
The special appeal lies in the combination of different spinning movements. As the ride gets moving, faster and calmer sections alternate. The gondolas do not always face the same way. Each ride can therefore feel a little different, even if you already know it. What is typical is the immediate feeling of being right in the middle of a moving funfair ride.
According to the documented technical specifications, Playball has twelve gondolas with a total of 48 passenger seats. It is about twelve metres high. This means the ride is not a record-breaker for height, but belongs to the rides whose dynamics come from a wide platform.

History and background
The Huss ride dates from 1987. It was operated for a long time by Clauß from Munich, changed hands to Meyer & Sohn in 2017, and is listed in current directories as belonging to Danny Reminder from Emsbüren. This history also makes Playball interesting to fans of classic German funfair technology.

Who is Playball Reminder suitable for?
If you enjoy trying classic Huss rides, Playball is an interesting stop at the fairground. Before riding, watch how the gondolas change direction. This is especially important if you are sensitive to rotation. The staff will explain the seating position and how to board safely; you should put away any loose items beforehand.
The ride is aimed above all at visitors looking for an active experience that is not focused solely on height. No specific minimum age or generally applicable minimum height can be determined from the confirmed information. You can find these details at the relevant ticket office or entrance.
