A gyro tower, or panoramic tower, is an evolution of the observation tower with a vertical moving platform. A gyro tower's observation deck is not simply raised to provide its passengers a spectacular view, it is also rotated around the supporting mast, either once in the raised position or while traveling up and down the center mast. Gyro towers are seldom part of funfairs but can be found more often in permanent amusement parks. A well-known American gyro tower is the Kissing Tower at Hersheypark. A special gyro tower is the Space Tower atop the Euromast in Rotterdam. It may be the only gyro tower standing on a roof of a structure and not on the ground. ==Notable gyro towers== * Carolina Skytower, Carowinds, NC/SC, USA * Sky Cabin, Knott's Berry Farm, Buena Park, CA, USA * Sky Tower, Rhyl, United Kingdom * Kissing Tower, Hersheypark, Hershey, PA, USA * Star Tower, California's Great America, San Jose, CA, USA * Sky Tower, SeaWorld San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA * Sky Tower, SeaWorld Orlando, Orlando, FL, USA * Sky Trek Tower, Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, IL, USA * Panorama Tower, Heide-Park, Germany * Space Tower, Minnesota State Fair, Falcon Heights, Minnesota, USA * Infinito, Terra Mitica, Spain * Taming Sari Tower, Melaka, Malaysia (First gyro tower in Malaysia) * Panoraama, Linnanmäki, Helsinki, Finland * La Gyrotour, Futuroscope, France * Observation Tower, Hangzhou Paradise, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China * Top of Texas Tower, State Fair of Texas, Dallas, TX, USA, * Spirale, La Ronde, Montreal, Quebec, Canada (Opened in 1967 double cabin) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gyro tower」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
