Talk:Pirate ship (ride)

changed this

it said "Some travelling fairs in Europe have pirate ships where the riders can choose to stand up in cages located at the ends of the pirate ships. These ones do not go upside down but do swing to a vertical position." I reckon it should be horizontal position coz otherwise it makes no sense. Unless it was talking about the ship not the people, which would kinda make more sense. If someone wants to change it to make it more clear, then do it. 123.2.110.26 (talk) 05:35, 11 October 2009 (UTC) This page should be removed or changed, no one has used Pirate s since Disney's Pirates Of The Caribbean!--24.7.204.40 (talk) 16:08, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

There are two types of hand driven pendulum rides : One classical, where the rider is fixed with a belt an turns upside down when looping around and one second type, in which the rider stays upright in a cage, due to a parallelogram style fixing.91.9.217.117 (talk) 15:23, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi friend Altafhussainaee (talk) 13:40, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

The only useful stats of a pendulum ride would be: Height and riders capacity. 91.9.217.117 (talk) 15:23, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

A Pirates Ship

What are some parts?

Q: What makes the difference from a pirate ship to a swing boat?

A: The power source and size. A pirate ship usually is powered underneath by tyres on a circualar "boat keel" to move it around. Although there are other solutions, this gives the pirate ship the free swinging moving in comparison to a "ranger ride" which is driven hydraulic from is center axis.

Q: Are there different types?

A: Yes by construction and number of boats installed and boat size. The first modern pirate ship ride, 1976 designed by the dutch Rinke Kallenkoot - called "Der fliegende Holländer" (flying dutchman, now at Wicksteed park, UK) - has two boats mounted on one axis. The most common HUSS type rides have only one boat. One variation rolls on rails rather than swinging. Boat size varies from 2 x 40 passengers (Der fliegender Holländer) to 120 (big unique HUSS swing boat built 1981; now at Gorki Park, Moscow)
