Question

Asked by: John Greaves
Subject: Large Gyroscope or Gyrocage
Question: Hi there,

I am sure that most of you have seen the large gyroscopes that they strap people into at fairs and amusement parks. I am interested in buying one. Where can they be found and do they have a special name? Please email any info to
johng@roboticsys.com

Thanks,

John

 They are made by different companies so they are often called different names. GYROSCOPE RIDE is the most common name. I tried typing this into
www.google.com and got loads of
good results. They are quite costly.
I suggest you contact someone with one of these to rent and hopefully they will give you they details of the company that they purchased it from.
Heres a few links.
