Round-up

A Round-up is an attraction with open feeling. The first version of this attraction goes back to 1954. Invented and built by American Frank Hrubetz .

Attraction consists of a kind of box circular. The passengers take seat inside this one on all the surface of the edges. The machine started, carries out a rotation at fast speed, the Centrifugal force plate the passengers against the paroies. The Round-up is then tilted between 50° and 75°. Attraction is impressive outside since it introduces people, hardly held by a simple belt, in a position which (without the centrifugal force) would be impossible.

The word " Round-up" comes from the action that the Cow-boy S and vaqueros carry out with their lasso to catch the cattle. The rotation movement made by attraction points out that of the cord.
