About: Golden Zephyr

An Entity of Type: architectural structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Golden Zephyr is an attraction at Paradise Gardens Park in Disney California Adventure Park built by D. H. Morgan Manufacturing. Themed to the Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon style rocket ships, it takes park guests on a relaxing trip. Unlike its cousins Dumbo and the Astro Orbiter next door in Disneyland, the Golden Zephyr rockets are controlled by centripetal motion over Paradise Bay and can not be automatically controlled to go up and down.

dbo:abstract
  • Golden Zephyr is an attraction at Paradise Gardens Park in Disney California Adventure Park built by D. H. Morgan Manufacturing. Themed to the Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon style rocket ships, it takes park guests on a relaxing trip. Unlike its cousins Dumbo and the Astro Orbiter next door in Disneyland, the Golden Zephyr rockets are controlled by centripetal motion over Paradise Bay and can not be automatically controlled to go up and down. The Golden Zephyr's design comes from the Harry Traver Circle-Swing rides of the early 20th century, specifically the Aerostat / Strat-O-Stat ride that operated at Riverview Park in Chicago. In designing the ride, Disney engineers visited Pleasure Beach in Blackpool, England to examine the Captive Flying Machines, a similar, but much larger, ride designed by Sir Hiram Maxim, and which has operated there since 1904. The ride cannot operate at constant wind speeds over 10 miles per hour (16 km/h), or gusts over 15 miles per hour (24 km/h). Neither this attraction, nor Jumpin' Jellyfish were removed or changed as part of the billion-dollar expansion. (en)
  • Golden Zephyr est une attraction du parc Disney California Adventure, inspirée d'un type d'attraction qui n'avait pas été construit depuis les années 1970. Ce principe est un mélange des manèges de type chaises volantes (des chaises suspendues au bout de longues chaînes) et des manèges traditionnels comme Dumbo the Flying Elephant ou l'Orbitron. Des nacelles de grandes tailles sont suspendues au bout de chaînes et s'élèvent grâce à la force centrifuge mais ne peuvent pas être contrôlés par un "manche". L'attraction s'inspire de ses aînées Aerostat ou Strat-O-Stat du Riverview Park de Chicago. Golden Zephyr souffre toutefois d'un défaut majeur, ce type d'attraction est très sensible aux conditions atmosphériques et nécessite un entretien minutieux constant. (fr)
