The SandstormSpinnerMinimum height to ride: 42 inches About The SandstormThis attraction has rotating base with six arms attached to it, with three cars attached to the end of each arm. Each car can seat two people, making for a total of 36 passengers per ride. When the ride starts the base rises and stars to rotate. As the base rotates, each arm rotates its set of three cars at the same time. Also as the base is rising, the arms fan outwards so as the cars are spinning they are angled, so the riders are turning and going up and down, all at the same time. The ride itself lasts for about 2-3 minutes. -- Last edited by Justin Kermgard Photos from The Sandstorm

Readers' Opinions
7/10. It needs to be a little faster. - Nicholas Gammon This ride is ok considering its only one of very few flat rides found at Busch Gardens Africa, but this ride is in need of more speed. You can find rides similar to this one at a county or state fair that spin faster than this version. - Justin Kermgard
