By now the new twist was fully assembled and connected to the power supply.

It is always a special occasion when a new ride makes its debut; staff materialise from nowhere all wanting to experience the new machine and give their opinion on the thrill factor.

Riders all seated and safety bars closed. The knife was inserted and the power began silently surging through the motor beneath the pay box. The energy travelled along the main shaft of the ride to the centre column and from there horizontally across into her three arms.

Turning very slowly she began to make her first movement, the cars gracefully tracing their diagonal pathway across the ground. She literally purred compare to the Jets' dynamic outbursts of energy. As the power increased she picked up speed and, boy, was she fast. It didn’t take long for her to drop the ‘graceful part’ of her performance and start throwing her passengers to the outer seat position crushing the poor occupant who sat there. Lots of laughter and plenty of speed - she had hit the thrill factor.

The new twist was going to be OK; she had passed the staff inspection test.
