tkel86 Posted December 15, 2015 A Swing Ride, one of the most popular ride in the world. It use chains for the chairs like the real one. Inside the central support there is a xl motor that rotate and incline the top circular support. Then the centrifugal force do the rest of the movements. You can see it working here: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheLegoDr Posted December 15, 2015 Well done. I just finished the ferris wheel not too long ago and thought about a swing ride. Although I agree, it is a bit fast. I'll probably alter mine a bit if I ever decide to build one. I'm still working on my own carousel. But this should fit in with the amusement park theme.

tkel86 Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) It is controlled by a variable speed controller, those used in trains. In the video is only in third speed variation, it can go slower, if I put the seventh (max) chairs begin to lie flat and can probably fly for real. This ride will integrate a new version of this amusement park that a already done some time ago.

THERIZE Posted December 15, 2015 Very cool! But, how does the top lean to one side? Looking at the video it seems that the force from the XL motor. And if it stops, how does it tilt back to horizontal? Is that what the rubber bands are for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunhuntin Posted December 15, 2015 brilliant!! i must say, i have never seen a real one of these before. have seen pictures online and such, but never in person. i would be terrified of smacking into that central support, even though the g-forces would likely make that impossible.

tkel86 Posted December 15, 2015 Very cool! But, how does the top lean to one side? Looking at the video it seems that the force from the XL motor. And if it stops, how does it tilt back to horizontal? Is that what the rubber bands are for? The top tilt to both sides and when it stop it just stay on the last angle. It doesn't return to center, the rubber is for smoothing the tilt movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KringlesBricks Posted December 15, 2015 ...You might need to build a bathroom right off the exit of that ride, ha-ha... Really cool design - love it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted December 15, 2015 While I wouldn't dare to have a ride on this swing ride, it looks amazing. The colour scheme is lovely, and the details are realistic. The use of chain links is great as it resembles the real swing rides. I'm missing the safety belt around the seat, but I guess minifigs don't need them.

tkel86 Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Thanks i´m glad you all like it! Really nice build, and the layout is amazing. Any chance we can get more pics of the rides and the layout? I really like the hot dog truck too! The 0937 Park was made by me (photos ), the rest of the city layout is from the 0937 community event Arte em Peças (photos) and the hot dog truck was made by Alex (photos). I don´t have yet presented all the rides because the park remains in display on a exposition. Edited December 16, 2015 by tkel86 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badchriss Posted December 23, 2015 Oh.....this is lovely.I loved these Rides as a Kid.Always gives me strong Memories when it was Christmastime and the Christmas Market/Fair in ther City i grew up had a bunch of Rides and i always wanted into that Chain Carousel and waving at my Parents....ah,lucky Memories. Your MOC is outstanding,love the Details.Even without the ability to move this would be a great Build,but the actual Ability to rotate and Tilt is just the Icing on the Cake. Now it only needs the classic Carnival Music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
