Design and operation In the ride, two persons sit in one of 20 gondolas arranged in a circle, one in front of the other. The ride moves counter clockwise, dispelling a slight amount of g-force. A hydraulically-powered arm underneath the ride then raises and tilts the frame so that the ride is rotating at 87° from the horizontal, transforming the ride from a horizontal experience to a vertical one. There are no safety restrains, insead the force applied to the riders is sufficient to keep them pinned in their seats. The transportable version of the ride racks onto two trailers, the first carrying the wheel, arm, and drive systems while the second is loaded with the gondolas, platforms, and any additional equipment. The first trailer also acts as the base of the ride while in operation. Schwartzkopf The Schwartzkopf version of the Enterprise (which uses the same name as the HUSS version) has sixteen gondolas, reducing the diameter of the wheel. The gondolas are also smaller than the HUSS version. Originally, the gondolas were produced by Reverchon, but they were later replaced by in-house versions.
