Mid-Size Pendulum Ride

Matching a 23-seat pendulum to mid-sized park capacity

A mid-sized park does not need the tallest pendulum in the catalogue; it needs the one its gate count can keep full. The 5TR-31 carries 23P per cycle, which suits regional theme parks, resort complexes and fairs drawing steady weekend crowds rather than one holiday surge. Work out your busiest two hours, divide by the cycle time you can run, and compare that with how many guests will walk to the ride. This size settles in as a genuine headline ride without leaving seats empty on a Tuesday.

Checking 15.2m height and 79KW draw for the 23-seat pendulum

Height is 15.2m and power is 79KW, and both need confirming against your site before you commit. Lower height makes clearance easier, but check lamp posts, signage gantries and overhead cabling on the route guests use. On power, confirm transformer capacity and the cable route early: 79KW is efficient for the class, and existing supply usually decides where the pad goes. Cover area is 14 by 15 metres, so include the fence, queue and viewing space visitors will claim.

Building the ride pad that a mid-sized park pendulum needs

Groundworks decide your opening date. Set out the concrete pad, drainage and the cable trench together, so installation week is assembly rather than excavation. Material is FRP with steel, and the set ships in export packing. Installation is covered by professional installation pictures and videos or by our staff on site, booked while you are still comparing quotes. A smaller family ride such as the flying elephant rides can sit nearby so guests move between two rides instead of one long queue.

Scheduling the 23-seat pendulum around mid-sized park peak hours

Run a fixed dispatch interval and publish it at the entrance, so guests can decide whether to wait. A steady interval keeps the queue honest and lets staff spot a backlog before it becomes a complaint. Push visitors toward the first hour after opening and the last before close, when the car is less crowded. Colour is customised, CE certification is supplied, minimum order is one set, and published age guidance is over three years old. A second thrill such as the space hunting ride splits the queue and keeps both rides loaded through the afternoon.
