[edit] Design and operation

Twenty four riders are loaded into a tugboat shaped gondala, in six rows of four. The rows face into the centre of the ride.

The ride is driven back and forth along a track shaped in a concave arc, rocking back and forth. While this is happening, the entire tugboat rotates around its centre.

The travelling version of the ride racks onto a single 28 foot trailer.

[edit] Variations

Several themeing variations exist.
