Core Mechanics of Pendulum Rides
Their function relies on three key parts working in sync:

Support Structure: A high-strength steel frame (Yulong rides uses Q355B/Q460 steel) bears the ride’s weight and resists lateral forces, tested for durability.

Swinging Arm & Gondola: A long steel arm (15–30m) with a passenger gondola (secured by harnesses) swings from gentle to 90–120° arcs, creating weightlessness at peaks.

Drive & Control: Yulongrides uses hydraulic (for large rides) or electric (eco-friendly) drives, plus a PLC system that monitors speed/ safety and stops if irregularities occur.
