The present invention relates to an amusement ride (1), such as a fairground attraction or an amusement park attraction. The attraction comprises a main carrier (10) rotatable about a first, substantially vertical axis of rotation (R1), a first drive for rotation of the main carrier about the first axis of rotation, at least one passenger carrier (20) which is rotatable about a second, substantially vertical, rotation axis (R2). The passenger carrier is attached to the main carrier at a distance from the first axis of rotation and has a second drive for rotation of the passenger carrier about the second axis of rotation. The passenger carrier is provided with one or more passenger carrier arms with a seat carrier (30) with one or more seats. Each seat carrier is rotatable about a third axis of rotation (R3), which is at an angle of substantially 30 to 70 degrees with respect to the second axis of rotation.
An amusement ride attraction, comprising a main carrier rotatable about a first, substantially vertical, axis of rotation, a first drive for rotating the main carrier about the first axis of rotation, at least one passenger carrier that is rotatable around a second, substantially vertical fixed axis of rotation, in which the passenger carrier is attached to the main carrier at a distance from the first axis of rotation, a second drive for rotation of the passenger carrier around the second axis of rotation, in which the passenger carrier is provided with one or more passenger carrier arms having a seat carrier with one or more seats, in which each seat carrier is rotatable about a third fixed axis of rotation, wherein the third axis of rotation is at an angle α of substantially 30 to 70 degrees with respect to the second axis of rotation, wherein the seats in each seat carrier are at an angle of tilt β with respect to the third axis of rotation, wherein 0<β≤α.
