Octopus

Originating in 1936 by The Eyerly Aircraft Company (Portland, USA).the Octopus has become a staple fairground attraction. .

The ride consists of a set of undulating arms which bear cars on the end. As the arms raise and lower from the eccentric hub, the cars are exposed to varying clockwise and counter-clockwise spins, resulting in an enjoyable intermediate thrill ride.
