It is believed that two units were converted from its older brother, the Ranger, which uses the same chassis and main support structure, except the Ranger flips riders upside-down, whereas the gentler Rainbow's gondola stays horizontal, leaving riders upright during the entire rotation.

A major accident in Liseberg, Sweden during the 2008 season forced the shutdown and inspection of all HUSS Rainbows in service.

The most popular design features cloud shapes on the side of the gondola with eyes and a smiley face painted on them.

The main arm and attached ride gondola can swing in either clockwise or counter-clockwise direction, and has the ability to stop or reverse at any point in its full orbit.

The Rainbow's 36 hairpin shaped handlebars raise and lower electronically from the main control booth.

● On June 9, 2006, a 2-year-old boy broke his arms and legs after falling at least 25 feet (7.6 m) from the "Over the Rainbow" ride at Dixie Landin’ in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

[4] ● On May 26, 2002, a 28-year-old man fell to his death from the Rainbow at Elitch Gardens, when he was standing up on the ride after unlocking his safety restraint.

In 1982, HUSS used the frame and supports from a Ranger ride, and added a pivot and a platform gondola to keep passengers right side up during the full rotation.

It was renamed as "Dragon Temple" and themed with red-brown seats, a yellow arm with brown supports and no sunface.
