Maniac: The Ride

Maniac is a wild and crazy robotic ride, inspired by Cliffhanger, from Canada's Wonderland. Maniac has 16 seats, 8 on the top, and 8 on the bottom. Originally, all 18 were going to be on one side, but weight issues arised and the weight needed to be balanced. Maniac spins in a rotation while the gondolas spin with it. The structure is made up of a 6x6 brick case which supports the two motors. One motor spins Maniac, and the other rotates the gondolas. Seeing as there was a lot of room on the baseplate, I made a rather large line.

The below video demonstrates Maniac and it's full program.
