The Giant Discovery 40 is an evolution of the popular Discovery flat ride.
Riders sit in outward-facing suspended seats that form a giant circle of 40 passengers; their legs dangle freely, and each seat has an individual shoulder restraint and restraining belt.
Giant Discovery 40 swings riders back and forth in a seemingly out-of-control pendulum motion while rotating counterclockwise.
At the peak of the pendulum movement that reaches a maximum speed of 110 km/h (68 mph), riders are upside down 44.8 meters (147 feet) above the ground and experience airtime that coveted feeling of weightlessness that is popular for thrill-seekers on roller coasters.
The dynamic return drop generates a variety of sensations on riders depending on their specific position in the counterclockwise rotation, creating a different ride experience each time.
