= Octopus (ride)
{wiki=Octopus_(ride)}
The Octopus ride is a type of amusement ride commonly found at fairs, amusement parks, and carnivals. It features a central rotating mechanism with several arms extending outward, each of which holds a small ride car or seat. As the ride operates, the central hub spins while the arms move up and down, creating a whirlpool effect that allows riders to experience centrifugal force. The ride usually accommodates multiple riders, and the movement can be both thrilling and dizzying as it combines rotation and elevation changes.
