Orient-Zauber: design and dimensions
Ride-Index classifies the ride as a sports carousel with a flight centre. It does not list a confirmed manufacturer or year of construction. Cranger's documents state that it requires eleven metres of frontage and 12,5 metres of depth. These measurements refer to the ride's set-up.
The term flight centre does not mean that every vehicle moves in the same way. Ask the staff if you are looking for a particular seat type or need to ride with someone. The current number of vehicles, power requirements and speed are not confirmed.
The ride experience on Orient-Zauber
Children can choose from a range of figures and vehicles, from a motorbike to a cartoon character. The colourful design gives the ride an oriental theme. The experience stays close to that of a classic children's carousel. Even before boarding, young visitors can see which vehicle they would like to try.
As the ride goes round, the view of the fairground changes. Companions appear around the edge again and again and can wave. For children trying a carousel for the first time, it helps to watch a ride together beforehand. This makes it easier to judge the movement and choose a suitable seat.
