The Nerve Shredder Mk II Fairground Ride

In my original model of this fairground ride, eight free-tilting carriages on eight rotating arms gave an exhilarating experience of being spun at extreme levels for short intervals periods reaching immense speed.

My main tallish structure was a type of bridge supported at both sides mainly for lights, name plate and embellishment.

The name came from the rotating rapid turning carriages looking like the blades of a food blender.

After it was only displayed at one meeting I decided to make a few changes. The main one was dismantling the original bridge and arch supported at both sides and creating a new longer bridge supported from the main front arch and entrance to the far end of the model.

Not only has the view of the model been fully improved, but the cars are all in full view from the side.

The arch was also modified and additional features added.

Finally I unbolted the eight cars to increase the length of all the arms by one extra centimetre in length so the overall diameter was increased.
