    Abstract: An amusement ride presenting a column fitted to a beam which pivots about a pin on the platform and is connected to the column by at least one jack. The column is fitted in articulated manner with four blocks, each presenting a horizontal pin about which pivots one end of a roundabout supporting member, and a support rotating about the supporting member presents a number of cars with which it forms a roundabout. Each car is mounted on two pins of the support, presents an axis perpendicular to the rotation axis of the support, and may be rotated through a full turn by centrifugal force. Each block is normally locked in relation to the column by means of a key, and the supporting member is in the form of a boom fitted in articulated manner with an L-shaped arm and in turn integral with a shaft about which the support rotates, so that the shaft may be inclined by an angle of over 90 degrees in relation to its idle position.
