The Indians often danced around a campfire or the totem pole. It goes much wackier with the Pow Wow, a carousel of the Italian company Zamperla. Three cups are each on four secondary turntables, which move oppositely on a primary plate. In addition, each cup can be modified by hand. The direction of the manual rotation is decisive for the intensity of the ride. The rotation of the base plate reaches a maximum rotational speed of about 13 km/h. The ride takes just 2.5 minutes, allowing the attraction to get a capacity of up to 1500 people per hour. Up to 5 people fit in each of the 12 gondolas.
With the traditional drum music and colorfully decorated cups, one could almost believe that the sky opens and a rain shower comes down. But do not panic. The Pow Wow is protected by a huge retractable coupe. It can still be so stormy. Thank Manitu.
