Family friendly attractions manufacturer Sunkid has revealed its latest attraction, the Rocking Tower. This family ride combines a unique tower and swing concept with a distinctive design, delivering an exciting experience for riders of all ages.
The Rocking Tower features an innovative design, which pulls riders upwards along its curved track. Due to the stiff gondola arm, the seats begin to tilt until they reach their maximum inclination of 75 degrees. At a certain position, the guide wheels de-couple and the gondolas begin to swing and rock.
The Rocking Tower’s signature design is available with multiple theming options, making it suitable for theme parks, cruise ships and elevated locations including skyscrapers and hills. It also features a small footprint with small clearance section around the bottom of the tower, meaning it can be installed close to existing facilities.
Sunkid was awarded the Brass Ring Award for new products at IAAPA Expo 2024 Orlando.
“The Rocking Tower is a completely new ride concept,” said Emanuel Wohlfarter, CEO of Sunkid. “It’s a combination of a tower and a swing in one ride, which is very unique. What is really unique is the small footprint. This is for sure an attraction which is very interesting for any parks around the world.”
