Pirate
First manufactured by HUSS in 1978, the Pirate (AKA: Pirate Ship) is the largest trailer version of its type, with a swing height of 20 metres (66ft). Despite the large space requirements (23m x 13m), the ride can be racked on two 40ft trailers. An amusement park is not complete without a boat swing of some make, and chances are it will be a highly reputed HUSS design.
With its pendulum motion, riders are exposed to sensations of weightlessness. The boat is swung with two alternating 105Kw drives that make contact with the underside of the ship.
In 1984 HUSS also manufactured a larger version “Traum Schiff” (Dream Ship) with a massive capacity of 120 persons and a swing height of 33 metres (109ft) This version is rare, with only 2 units ever built. One at Nagishama Spaland, Japan (a double) and the other formerly a travelling unit on 17 trailers, now located in Gorkey Park, Moscow.
THIS IS THE BEST DAMN RIDE, IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!
