近日，英国康沃尔郡的弗兰伯兹（Flambards）主题公园将迎来最新的令人神经紧绷的摇摆类游乐设施“天际力量”（Sky-Force）。

“天际力量”悬挂在一组四个巨大的18米高金属支架上，当机器启动后，飞盘形的座位将逐渐进行钟摆式的往复运动，最大摆动角度将接近180度。同时，座位还会进行360度自旋转，乘坐于其中的乘客将承受最高达到3G的重力体验。

据悉，“天际力量”坐落在一个100吨重的加固过的混凝土地基上，该项目几乎完全由康沃尔郡的本地公司团队进行组装与场地建设。多家本地公司分别进行了诸如地形地质调查、地面工程、支架模壳与混凝土加固工程、设施主体喷漆、地基钢结构以及地基布局设计等多项工程，并提供了多类型的混凝土泵车、特殊运输车以及起重机。专业骑行设备工程公司杰德霍普金森（Jed Hopkinson）还提供专业管理人员和设备来协助弗兰伯兹主题公园自己的内部工程团队进行管理操作。

据了解，该摇摆类游乐被称为“英国西南部第一个真正令人神经紧绷的惊险骑乘类项目”，预计于今年夏天开放。

White-knuckle ride Sky Force nearing completion

Flambards Theme Park is all set to welcome its latest attraction, a new white-knuckle ride named Sky Force. The park, located in Cornwall in the UK, is hailing Sky Force as “the first genuine white knuckle ride in the South West”, which is set to open at the Helston park later this summer.

Suspended on a set of four giant 18-metre metal legs, the Frisbee-shaped ride exerts the equivalent of up to 3G in force on passengers while swinging them in a pendulum motion and simultaneously spinning through 360 degrees. Weighing in at more than 56 tonnes, the ride was transported to the park using five articulated trailers; one of which had to have a special extension in order to carry the 18-metre legs.

Sky-Force has been assembled by a team made up almost entirely of Cornish companies and sits on a 100-tonne base of reinforced Cornish concrete. Tremain Plant Hire carried out the groundworks, Frewfix were responsible for the shuttering and concreting for the feet, Devoran Metals supplied the steelwork for the bases, Chris Brown provided the concrete pumping lorry and Chris Massie designed the ride bases.

Jon Douglass undertook the topographical survey and set out all the bases, the ride was painted by Blast Clean, transported by R and R Transport and the cranes were provided by Macsalvors.

Specialist ride engineering company Jed Hopkinson also provided expert knowledge and equipment to assist Flambards’ own in-house engineering team.
