Condor (ride)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Condor is the trade name of an amusement ride sold by HUSS of Bremen, Germany. It is basically a scrambler-like ride that rises up and down a 100+ foot-tall tower.
The ride has 28 seats with one or two people sitting in each, toboggan-style (one person in front of the other) if they decide to ride double. The automatic doors on the ride are operated by Pneumatic Air Pressure. Most models of the ride operate at fairly different speeds, with different and unique programs on each ride. European Models, which are also known as "Ikarus," are known to even change the direction to backwards mid-ride. There is only one remaining traveling model of this ride in Germany, most are and have been park models from the start. The Condor offers a scenic view combined with a thrilling ride cycle, making it one of the most unqiue amusement experiences in the industry.
