Breakdance (ride)

Breakdance is an amusement ride designed by Huss Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG in 1985.

[citation needed] Breakdance consists of a dodecagonal platform with a diameter of 20 meters, upon which are mounted four hubs, each bearing four two-person cars.

The combination of the platform slope, hub movement, and weight displacement within the cars cause them to rock back and forth, the oblique join mount and the motion of the ride allowing the cars to rotate through 360°.

Breakdances incorporate backdrops, and the provision for sound systems, elaborate light displays, and special effects equipment is made.

Controls for these additional systems can easily be routed through the operator's console.
