Thrill seekers will be sucked in by Maelstrom - the UK's number one gyro swing.
Like the powerful whirlpool of its namesake, Maelstrom is set to put you through incredible forces as it spins. The carriage is basically like a giant bicycle wheel laid flat. You'll be strapped into a seat that faces outwards, and then be cast into the air on Maelstrom's giant swinging arm.
Reaching heights of over 22 metres, you'll need to be of a strong stomach as the world seems to spin in front of your eyes. It is up to nature how the giant bicycle wheel turns as it flies through the air - but your sure to feel pretty dizzy afterwards!
