Twirling Toadstool is a ride at the British theme park Alton Towers.[1] The ride is made up of 48 hanging seats suspended by chains. When the ride begins, the chairs are lifted several metres off the ground, then they begin to rotate. Once the chairs have been lifted to a certain height, and are rotating fast enough, the chairs are banked as the ride tilts.
