Operator: Marlon Klaasen (Rinteln)
Jump Street Klaasen – Jump Street Klaasen is a travelling wiper-style ride operated by showman Marlon Klaasen from Rinteln. The ride, made by Dutch manufacturer KMG, is a Tropical Trip model. You sit with other passengers on a long bench that swings through the air. It feels different from a traditional carousel with separate gondolas because everyone shares the same movement.

Practical information
You can find more suitable rides in the overview. The details in this profile apply only to the clearly identified ride. Videos and archive images may show older names and previous operators. Prices, ride programmes and current riding conditions are determined on site. Where reliable technical details are unavailable, we do not make estimates.

What it's like to ride Jump Street Klaasen
On a wiper-style ride, the long passenger bench moves through a wide arc. The interplay of acceleration, braking and changes of direction creates a distinct tingle. A total of eighteen seats are documented. The ride is not comparable to a roller coaster, as it has no track. Nor are full inversions typical of this type of ride. It is best to watch a full cycle to see what the current programme is like.

Who is the ride suitable for?
Jump Street is appealing to anyone who enjoys a lively shared ride. If you react quickly to changes of direction, choose your moment to ride carefully. Height and accompaniment requirements depend on the current rules at the ride. The long bench gives spectators a clear view of the movement. When watching videos, check that the operator is Klaasen so you do not mistake a similarly named wiper-style ride for it.
