Worst tilt-a-whirl ride ever 

There's also some sort of luck involved so there's that.

richard kelley Yea sometimes the Tilt-A-Whirl spins sometimes it doesn't

+Richard Kelley Maybe the wheels of the cars and the track need lubricating??? Just wondering. This seems to be running too slow to me, also.

When I ride, I sit in the center of the car, it always works

an hen

PURPLE JEFF

@Digo Ferman welp at least it wasnt one of those ones where you control the speed with my uncle it sucks

The ride was not balanced properly. Same thing can potentially happen to a Waltzer as well with an overloaded car

+Lee Mims And here's some science to back that up. www.phschool.com/science/science_news/articles/tilt_a_whirl.html Note: "...Hence, what happens to an individual Tilt-A-Whirl car is highly dependent upon the weight of its passengers and where they sit."

Having been a tilt operator, foreman and lifelong showman I can tell you that a good tilt man can jake your tub with brake and acceleration to kingdom come. I spun a tub right off its bullpin in Oconomowoc WI on the 4th of July!

Yep I remember that too. I think that was actually done to check that nobody would slip out..

I remember that too. The ride operator would also speed the ride up or slow it down if they noticed a car not spinning.

Nowadays the ride does it automatically

Yes

wrong the operator can clutch the ride and make them spin

fairground1976 it was just a figure of speech

Nope, the ride is solely based on operator and gravity. You are supposed to operate the main platform at 3/4 of it's speed to start with to see how the cars react, then adjust from there. If some cars are having trouble (usually does) start slowing down and quickly speed it up at timing to get those things moving.

I've also operated the gravitron and the thunderbolt ride

Aragorn Stellar that lame lap bar is actually a break mechanism.. When the ride comes to a complete stop and you raise that lame lap bar.. It keeps what we call the tub from rolling to the low point of what is called a bull plate and rolling over your little booger picking kids

waltzers and t.a.w are the same but waltzer are like t.a.w v2 or t.a.w 2000. new and fancy with disco lights (if it has a roof witch it usually does), and pounding bass and sound effects while people manually spin your cart, cause its one of those kermis type rides. while t.a.w is old fashion. and it usually doesn't have a roof over it, but usually it has roofs over the carts. and since is old fashion its not 100% clean. i only see tilt a whirls in persons cause im in america, and its not common to see waltzers at fairs here. i would love to see a waltzer though. waltzers usually not or maybe even dont have roofs over there carts.

i dont think its the rides fault it didnt spin, i think it was depending on how many people were in the car.

you should look up mini waltzer

i think maybe a mini waltzer could be in america

to be honest i like bot waltzer and t.a.w

No

DrejStinger1986 oh no

That thing whipped me around every which way!
