I am getting into flat rides now that im tired of roller
coasters(I will continue in a while). I built a scrambler/Merry go round and a slingshot
like at PKI. I have some pics.

Your Scrambler thing looks more like a tea cup ride
so i guess that would be a scrambler. The sling shot would look better with three
towers IMO and with a little thing that the little knex people could actually sit in.

I have a pic of my swinging ship. it is really strong and
swings with the motors but would work better without.

I would make the ship bigger. Also, if you have a
remote control set like robot worlds or Cyberknex you could use that and manually
control the rotation of the ship. You could even make it inverted if you wanted
to...

I tried a motorized system but the ship didnt make it
up so it was horizontal and it wasnt realistic.
