It is commonly referred to as KMG Booster, due to its similarity with the Fabbri Booster ride.[citation needed]
It has become an extremely common ride on European travelling funfairs, particularly in the UK. This is due to a combination of the ride's spectacular visual impact, and its highly practical operation. The ride can be transported on only one trailer, and requires just three hours to build up.[1]
The ride is primarily a 37-metre arm, connected midway to the main support of the ride. Two sets of two seats are mounted at the end of each arm, back to back. Each four-seat assembly can swing through 360 degrees.[1]
The arm rotates at up to 13 revolutions per minute, producing an acceleration of 3.5 g on the riders.[1]
