Note that this site lists height requirements for all of Butler Amusement’s rides – not all of these rides will be at the festival.
Pole Position Coaster
This Italian made, world-class coaster is composed of three levels, with the very top measuring 55 feet high. This is not an ordinary coaster: the ride will also have extra sound effects to dramatize when the car goes around a corner or gains elevation. Riders hold on tight while the car gently climbs to the very top, after a moment of anticipation riders experience a free fall while the car itself actually spins while maneuvering along the track.
Wave Swinger
The German Wave Swinger is a work of art, combining the traditional swing ride with lavish, hand painted scenery. The Wave Swinger lifts riders slowly from the platform and then proceeds to take them on a leisurely ride, tilting one way and another to add to the excitement. Its unusual size, unforgettable scenery, lights, music and ride make the Wave Swinger a Butler Amusements classic
Giant Wheel
A towering tradition of Butler Amusements, the majestic Giant Wheel dominates the midway day and night, offering patrons a sweeping view from a height of nearly 100 feet! Passengers are seated in separate gondolas and then whisked smoothly over the top and down again, reminiscent of the ferris wheel. The Giant Wheel is a pleasant ride for the entire family.
Freak Out
Towering at 70 feet, the Freak Out seats 16 persons and takes them on a thrilling journey into the sky! Passengers are secured by over-the-shoulder harnesses as they dangle in expectation. Once the ride begins, the seats slowly rotate as the entire boom arm begins to swing horizontally. Passengers swing over the midway directly overhead of those watching from the front of the ride.
Hawaiian Express
This fast paced tropical ride will leave patrons breathless. An erupting volcano entrance welcomes riders for an exciting spin, travelling forward, and around then traveling backwards while negotiating an undulating path. Its unusual size, unforgettable scenery, lights, music and action make being whisked around and around fun and exciting!
Vertigo
The brand new A.R.M Vertigo towers over the midway at 100 feet in height and seats twenty-four passengers. Each seat holds two riders who are secured by a lap restraint. Once the ride begins, the entire center twists in a circular motion. Riders enjoy a swinging sensation as the entire center track lifts up slowly until reaching the top of the ride. Once the swing ride reaches the top it begins to slowly swing in a descent.
1001 Nachts
Mega Flip
The Mega FLIP, from Holland, lifts riders high into the air, 24 at a time. As the main boom swings back and forth, the base of six groups of seats begin to spin, giving the passengers a feeling of weightlessness while they soar through the air with their feet swinging free! This ride creates a thrilling, unforgettable experience for its riders and provides a spectacular show.
Turbo Speed
Not for the faint-hearted. Riders are taken for a 70 mph ‘spin’ at the ends of a whirling arm that takes them 120 ft. in the air and sends them hurtling towards earth in an arc generating forces 3 times the pull of gravity. Features upside-down free-flipping action
