Madhouse (ride)

[3] The ride is designed to be an optical and physical illusion, consisting of several rows of seats attached to a swaying gondola within a rotating drum.

The ride creates the impression that the rider is turning upside down, whereas it is actually the room that is moving around them.

Once in the ride, lapbars are lowered onto the riders, before they gradually experience an odd sense of movement.

The pivot mechanism for the floor is hidden by two large objects at the end of the room, which are themed to match the ride.

Vekoma offers theme parks the option of programming their own sequence of how the room and floor move.
