Fireball

You may remember the old Ring-of-Fire that used to grace the midway. The new Fire Ball, with its redesigned open trains and over the shoulder restraint system provides a new dimension to an already proven midway spectacular! It is manufactured by Larson International, Inc. based out of Plainview, TX.

The trains have been redesigned to allow for open seating! There are no overhead structures or cages, so the rider's view is unobstructed. Back-to-back seating provides for quick pass through entry and exit. Passengers are positioned in a contoured seat and held into place by a double ratcheting over-the-shoulder mechanical restraint. There is an additional seat belt restraint between the legs for added security. A positive pressure air release system allows all seats to be unlocked simultaneously. Once air pressure is released, all seats automatically lock.

Incorporating the computer controlled Turbolights, Corten Steel structure and all stainless steel train, the new Fire Ball provides a 60-foot diameter shower of lights for your midway. The Fire Ball incorporates the latest safety devices. Driven by a 75 HP electric motor, the single hydrostatic hydraulic drive system will not engage unless the operator is seated. Photo sensors are located on both the loading and unloading platforms to detect objects before the train leaves the station.

The Fire Ball is highway legal including weight. A 7-1/2 HP hydraulic system handles the erection functions. The Fire Ball remains, as all Super Loops have been, the fastest to move spectacular available today.
