La Ronde

ride: la grande envolvée


"This very colourful ride runs according to the following principle: Each of the 12 four-passenger gondolas are suspended from a radius connected to a central axis around which it turns as it climbs the length of the centre. The centrifugal forces are such that passengers have the impression of flying away for a few thrilling, heart-racing but safe moments."


sam runs around and picks a red balloon!
