Creating a Zierer Jet Ski Carousel

Difficulty level: Medium

Hey everyone! Jet Ski Carousels are one of the rides that Zierer manufactures for parks all over the world! These rides consist of a rotating platform with several vehicles attached to it which travel over the water! The riders can steer these vehicles to the sides to make them swing inwards and outwards slightly. Double models of these rides also exist, which have a second rotating platform. I have also built quadruple versions of these rides in some of my parks!

Real versions of these rides have all kinds of different vehicles, like sea planes, crocodiles, ocean waves and more, so feel free to experiment with different vehicles. You could also try using more vehicles, bigger platforms, or putting the platforms in a different configuration in your park! As you can see in the following images I have built them in many different ways!

To make one of these rides you need to do a simple shoestring, but since the vehicles only have to travel around a central platform it isn't the most complicated one! You will also have to space out the vehicle using the Ride vehicle editor plugin, but other than that building one of these shouldn't be very difficult!

In the following video you will see how to build a Zierer Jet Ski Carousel!
