Swing ride attraction with control means for controlling the swing

Attraction for amusement rides, comprising a mast, a base frame rotatably attached to the mast and extending radially from the mast, means for rotating the base frame, a number of subframes, each comprising a stiff connecting arm to which a gondola with one or more passenger seats is attached, in which the subframes are circumferentially distributed, each suspended freely pivotable by means of the connecting arm on the base frame, such that the subframes with gondolas swing upon rotation of the base frame under influence of the centrifugal force, wherein the attraction further comprises control means for controlling the pivoting of the subframes with gondolas relative to the base frame, wherein the control means are arranged to displace the center of gravity of the subframe relative to the base frame, wherein the control means are arranged to move a mass in the subframe in a radial direction relative to the mast, which mass is located at the end of the connecting arm and is formed by the gondola itself or by an additional mass mounted in the chassis of the gondola.
