Haug's patent # 3104103 describes an improvement and simplification in which the carrier for the sweeps tilts, but not the tower. However, Wedemeyer's firm had ceased importing rides, and it does not appear that any of these reached the U.S. This patent was filed in 1957 and issued in 1961, and cites a German patent application dated 1956.įurther improvements and variations were produced by the Klaus firm, including the Hurricane X (1963) and Mirage (1966). The Satellite Jet/Titan is described by Mathias Haug's US Patent # 2983509 (assigned to Kaspar Klaus). Eight Satellite Jets were imported from 1957-1959. The Satellite at Lakeside Park is another example, but the tilting mechanism no longer operates. A ride of this type was found at Whalom Park until recently. In this version of the ride, the mechanism that elevates the sweeps carrier also tilts the entire tower. Four units were imported in 1956-1957.Īn improved lifting version of the ride was introduced by Klaus in 1957 and imported by Wedemeyer under the name Satellite Jet. Wedemeyer advertised these rides for the 1957 season under the name Strato-Jets. One was imported by Wedemeyer and installed at Disneyland in 1956 (Astro-Jets). In addition to the rider-controlled elevation of the sweeps, the carrier for the sweeps is raised once the ride is in motion. Klaus produced several units of a lifting version beginning at the end of 1953. No patent corresponding to this ride has been found. Essentially identical rides (except for the decorative tower) appear to have been produced by Romolo Fabbri in Italy around 1950 and by George Maxwell & Sons in the UK in 1952. The Roto Jets/Hurricane may have been a copy of an earlier ride. In all, one used ride and twenty new rides were imported from 1953 to 1957. Several rides were sold at the end of 1954, and in 1955, the new Roto-Jet was a big hit at Rye Playland. The first permanent installation in the U.S. and exhibited under the name Roto-Jet at Coney Island (NY) and several fairs in 1953. The fifth unit produced (in 1952) was brought into the U.S. Klaus began producing Hurricane rides in 1951, with the initial unit being sold to the German showman Koch.
Ordningen med Hong Kong Disneyland kan tas tydeligere. Dette er den tredje versjonen av en god tur med raketter i en Disney-park.Īttraksjonen som fremdeles beholder fargene i det nye Tomorrowland i 1998, nemlig gull og bronse, mens resten av "landet" har funnet fargeskjemaet fra 1967 (blå og sølv), bør helt sikkert males på nytt. Den Astro Orbitor ble derfor bygget på ett nivå ved inngangen til Tomorrow. Plattformen er nå overvunnet av Observatron, en roterende dekor. Den sentrale Tomorrowland-plattformen der hun satt, klarte ikke å støtte vekten til Astro Orbitor.

The Little Mermaid: Ariel Undersea Adventure.Type attraksjon: Kontrollert rakett som går rundt et sentralt tårn.Design: Walt Disney Imagineering, Zamperla.Den franske versjonen sammenlignes av Alain Littaye med planetmodellene som er synlige på Museum of Arts and Crafts. Den bruker StarJets- prinsippet, inspirert av Saturn V- raketter. Denne attraksjonen ligger i de amerikanske og Hong Kong-parkene i Tommorowland, og Discoveryland i den franske parken.ĭenne karusellen tar form av flygende skyttelbusser som beveger seg midt på kloder som representerer fjerne planeter. Orbitron, Astro Orbiter eller Astro Orbitor er en attraksjon i Disney-parkene som lar deg trene for flyreiser i verdensrommet, i små skyttelbusser.
