The tower is a cylindrical steel structure. The observation car is hauled up by cables running to the top of the tower. Categorized as an [[Indoor Ride|indoor]] ride, since guests are covered from rain while aboard the car, from entrance to exit.

They make a good alternative to outdoor rides and guests will flock to them in the rain. A good strategy therefore could be to add a few of them, kept closed until rain starts pouring. |
