Zero Gravity
I've wanted to build this for years.
The story begins when a friend of mine bought an old Round Up ride.
It was made in the Netherlands.

It came without any instructions. He asked me to help him because
I had some experience with amusement rides. So I helped him to build it
up in summer 2003.

The next summer we pulled it down for relocation. It's in use
now at Nokkakivi amusement park in Finland.

So I wanted to build a Round Up in lego.
But a ride called Meteorite has better build up system.
I had seen one when a funfair from UK visited Helsinki in 2000.

So I wanted to build a Meterorite instead of Round Up.
But then I saw some photos of an American ride called Zero Gravity.
That ride is even more compact. So here it is:
