Spindizzy serves as Diggerland’s main Thrill-ride. This ride is effectively a JCB, swinging daring visitors at a huge height, in its scoop. This Diggerland ride has an advantage over many other thrill rides in that it isn’t computer programmed, this ride is operated by member of Diggerlands staff team. This allows the ride to be as crazy as you want it to be. Each single operation of this ride can therefore be customized, for example, a younger set of riders are thrilled easier than a group of adults, or so the story goes!

X-Scream is essentially a teeter-totter for adrenaline junkies that tilts riders 27 feet off the edge of the Stratosphere Las Vegas. Rides like X-Scream take advantage of a built environment to create new thrills. Pribonic explains that the ride uses a relatively low-tech magnetic braking system, based around a copper blade that is attached to the bottom of the car. As the ride rolls forward, the blade slips in between a row of magnets before hitting a rubber bumper that brings it to a standstill. As the ride is tilted backwards, the blade slips out and heads toward an identical row of magnets at the other end. “I take comfort in the solid, heavy-duty, easy-to-see mechanical connections,” Pribonic says. “Everyone is locked in, and everything is locked down.”
