Quantum is a large Magic Carpet (Also known as Flying Carpet or Aladdin's Ride) ride located in the Lost City area at Thorpe Park in Chertsey, Surrey. The ride opened in 2003 alongside Eclipse the same year with both rides being manufactured by the Fabbri group. 2003 also saw the opening of the inverted coaster Nemesis Inferno.[1]
Ride Experience
[edit]The carriage swings back and forth until it completes a full circle, which either goes forwards or backwards depending on where seated, this is then repeated once more however in the opposite direction. The carriage always keeps a position that is always parallel to the ground so you do not go upside down. Each drop phase from every rotation produces a quick free-fall with a smooth G-force.*
Design
[edit]The ride has 4 columns which is attached with bearings to 4 rotating arms at the top of each column. The arms hold a carriage that consists of 40 seats where on each half of the carriage, the riders sit facing towards the middle of the carriage.*
The ride originally had a carpet which ran underneath the carriage with rolled carpet at each ends of the carriage, however this has since been removed.[2]
