What to expect
- Multi-axis rotation
On the road since 1996 and having travelled through four countries: Move It combines a rotating platform and a powerful lifting arm for an intense ride.
What Move It Van Herck is like to ride
This KMG ride type typically has a rotating seat platform on a powerful lifting arm. As the platform spins, the arm lifts and tilts it. This constantly changes your view between the sky, the fairground and the ground. Rapid changes of direction also intensify the sensation of centrifugal force. A total of 32 passengers can ride at the same time.
The ride does not perform a full inversion. Even so, it is much more intense than a classic carousel, so you should watch a cycle from the outside first.

History of Move It
The ride began its career in 1996 with Dutch showman Tonny Kroon. It then travelled around the Netherlands with Mathieu De Poorter until 2002. From 2003 to 2007, it was with James Cox in the UK, and briefly with Harry Ayers in 2008. It then toured France with Harry Laurier from 2009 to 2016. Finally, it has belonged to Tommy Van Herck in Belgium since 2017. Move It is a good example of how long rides remain in operation on the travelling circuit.
