G-Force Booster – Witte / Tijck

G-Force Booster Witte: a flight upside down

The design is quite different from a traditional carousel. Two passenger gondolas sit at the ends of a long arm. Once it starts turning, the seats move in a wide circle around the central axis. Passengers repeatedly move between low and very high positions, while the gondolas also turn upside down. The transition from ground level to great heights is what gives the ride its characteristic Booster sensation.

At the lowest point, the fairground seems to rush past. At the top, by contrast, you briefly get a wide view of the surroundings before the next rotation begins. The ride is therefore spectacular even from the ground: the gondolas circle high above the crowd, and the long arm defines the ride's silhouette, visible from a distance. If you watch the ride in the dark, you can see its lights against the backdrop of the other funfair attractions.

What makes the KMG Speed Booster special

The two gondolas of G-Force can carry a total of eight guests. Passengers sit in pairs and experience the rotation simultaneously from different positions on the circle. Instead of numerous small rotating gondolas like those on a Break Dance, this type of ride uses a single, towering arm. The combination of the high circular motion and the upside-down positions defines the experience. This is a particularly eye-catching ride for fans of machines with clearly visible mechanics.

The ride's history: from Scandinavia to the Netherlands

The current G-Force was built by KMG in 2011 and initially operated by Hugo’s Tivoli in Norway. It then went to Perrin Stevens in Great Britain in 2022. It has been travelling in the Netherlands under Martin Witte since 2024. Its debut under its current name in the Dutch travelling circuit is listed as taking place in Alphen aan den Rijn in 2024. Its international touring history explains why older footage of the ride may show a different design or operator.

This ownership history is key to identifying the ride: a ride with the same name owned by another showman may not be the same physical ride. Witte's Dutch G-Force is a KMG Speed and should not, for example, be confused with differently designed Frisbee rides called G-Force.

Who is G-Force Booster Witte for?

G-Force is particularly suited to visitors who enjoy intense rotation and repeatedly changing body positions. A ride on the Booster is no gentle sightseeing tour. As the gondolas move along their circular path, their height and direction of view change in quick succession. If you are sensitive to strong rotation or dislike heights, you should bear this in mind. You can find out the minimum height and other access rules for each engagement directly at the ride.

For spectators, it's interesting to see how the design creates a large movement in a small space. Because the gondolas are at either end of the arm, the ride is easy to recognise while in motion. The contrast between the compact footprint and the wide circular motion gives a striking impression of the distinctive design of a KMG Speed Booster.
