Pulse Factory Hayen is a travelling roundabout ride operated by Belgian showman Joeri Hayen. In Belgian line-up lists, it is listed as a “Tripride”. The wiper ride Crazy Dance also appears there under the same designation, so we classify Pulse Factory as this type of ride. On wiper rides, the passenger carriers swing back and forth during the ride. At the Oktoberfoor in Ostend, Pulse Factory really gets things moving.

Back and forth and round and round: Pulse Factory gets your pulse racing with quick swinging movements.
What a ride on Pulse Factory Hayen is like
Wiper rides are characterised by the swinging movement of their passenger carriers. As the ride revolves, the gondolas swing from side to side like windscreen wipers. This means the direction and acceleration change at short intervals. The operator also sets the pace with the ride programme, so no two circuits feel the same.
The best way to see exactly how this ride moves is to watch a full ride from the outside first. Then you will know what to expect.

Operator and appearances of Pulse Factory Hayen
Joeri Hayen also operates the Disco Star spinning ride. The organiser’s line-up of rides will tell you whether Pulse Factory Hayen is at your funfair. You can find the dates in the funfair calendar and more spinning rides in the ride overview.
Who is this ride suitable for?
Pulse Factory is aimed at teenagers and adults who enjoy quick changes of direction. Older children often ride too, provided they meet the minimum height requirement at the entrance. If you are sensitive to spinning movements, it is better to try a gentler carousel first. Stow loose items safely before the ride, for example in a zipped jacket pocket. It is also best to remove hats and glasses beforehand.
