Hold on tight! The Meteorite, also known as the Round Up or the Cage, is a classic fairground ride that gives riders a taste of what a fighter pilot feels in a high G-force dive. With room for 32 passengers per flight, it is a big, bold attraction that teenagers and adults queue up to try, and most step off laughing and a little wobbly at the knees.
What does the ride actually do?
Once everyone is in place, the cage begins to spin. As it gathers speed, the force pins riders gently back against the wall, and then the whole ride lifts into the air while it keeps turning. It is a funfair classic that has been delighting fairgoers for years, and it never fails to draw a crowd of spectators too.
The Meteorite is ideal for teenage and adult riders, making it a strong headline ride for festivals, corporate events, university events and big community celebrations. Pair it with our Ferris Wheel Ride Hire and a row of fairground stalls and games for a complete funfair experience that suits every age group.
Every ride is put through thorough safety checks and procedures, carries a current ADIPS certificate and is run by our trained operators, who load each rider and manage the queue throughout the event. Risk assessments and insurance documents are sent to you before the day.
Hire starts from £1500, depending on your event date, the number of items booked and the operational hours required, so the quote is tailored to your event. It is just the sort of headline ride that suits town festivals in Gloucestershire and carnivals in Greater Manchester. For more big-ride ideas, browse our thrill rides.
