ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a carousel with an upper rotating beam (2) arranged on a central mast (1). Carrier rods (3) carrying gondolas or seat carriers (4) are arranged in the circumference of the rotating beam, which may be swiveled outwards and inwards. According to the invention the carrier rods can by inducement of force be swiveled outwards and inwards at angles to the radial or circumferential direction of the rotating beam, which, particularly with the alternate swiveling of successive carrier rods (3) on the rotation, reduces the entire floor space for the carousel and increases the passenger frequency.
