Black Widow's Web

Black Widow’s web is an Enterprise ride made by the German manufacturer, Huss. This sort of ride is no longer manufactured, after being very popular in the 1980’s. However, the ride is a classic which is more than capable of pulling the crowds and giving a unique thrill.

The ride is based around a very simple idea, take a big wheel and add some thrills to it. It has 20 carriages which when stationary hang beneath the huge flat wheel structure. It has no restraints, you sit in steel cage with a sliding door to enable you to enter and exit the ride.

When the ride starts spinning the carriages start swinging outwards until it is going so fast that they are horizontal. After a short time the arm supporting the giant wheel starts to raise until it is vertical and the carriages are rotating upside down, with just centrifugal force holding you in.

This model has since been replaced by the manufacturer by the ‘Fly Away’ which is too extreme for the family target of the Enterprise. This is a ride for the whole family to enjoy.
