Freiwald's Break Dance: What the ride feels like
Break Dance Freiwald is a travelling ride operated by Torsten Freiwald's showman business. The ride combines several movements: while the large platform rotates, the gondola crosses spin in another direction. At the same time, each gondola can rotate freely around its own axis. This creates constant changes of direction, which feel different even when you ride several times. If you enjoy classic funfair rides with plenty of rotation, this is a distinctive choice.

Tips for your visit
If you have not tried the ride before, watch a full cycle from the outside first. This will give you an idea of the rotations and speed. During the ride, secure loose items and follow the staff's instructions. Current minimum height requirements, rules for accompanying adults and prices are posted at the ride; there are no reliable standard figures available here. If you are sensitive to spinning, a gentler attraction may be a better choice.
