Abstract: This application provides a multiple or single arm oscillating, optionally rotating amusement ride with reverse pendulum oscillating arm or arms that are angularly mounted to a horizontal tubular frame member of the rotating supporting structure. In one embodiment, there is a moveable adjustable counterbalance weight. The unique principal of the ride is that it that when the ride is rotating and the oscillating arm is moved from the lower position to the upper position the rotational velocity is increased through conservation of angular momentum producing a spinning “Ice dancer” effect. Tie rods or optionally a gimble and cable system is used to maintain stability and upright positioning of the gondola.
