Octopus (ride)

The Octopus is a type of amusement ride in the shape of an octopus.

Six to eight arms attached to a central axis of rotation and move up and down in a wavelike motion via a counter rotating eccentric, while cars at the end of the arms, either attached directly to the arm or fixed on spinning crosses, spin freely or stay in place, depending on the exact type of ride.

The middle or centric of the ride will move somehow (Octopus head, Spider cylinder object, and so on).

Most octopus rides require guests to be at least 42 inches to ride without an adult; smaller children must have an adult with them.

This is a regular at the annual AGS and AHS fairs in Ateneo de Manila University There are many different kinds of Octopus.
