Extreme. Cambridge Midsummer Fair 2005.

The Orbiter Extreme operated by John Parrish.

This particular orbiter has five arms with a cluster of three pairs of seats at the end of each one. During the ride, arms spin around the central axis whilst being lifted up and down. At the same time the seat clusters are lifted through 90 degrees and spun around the axis of the arm they are connected to.

On this 1/4 s nighttime exposure, the lamps on the chairs produce a diffuse halo of light.
