The flying falcon is a ride that spins in two different direction at the same time. It has two arms, the smaller that is connected to the larger in the middle. As the sections spin, the ride "flys" into the air. It moves up to the top of the tower stops, then the smaller section of arms spins by themselves, after the ride starts to descend, preforming the same motion as the way up. During the ride of the falcon the rider can experience rotational inertia as the ride is swinging around the center of the circle. This inertia is want makes the riders swing in the outward motion of the 68 degrees. During the ride the velocity is changing all of the time, this because as the larger arm is rotating, the smaller arm is rotating in the opposite direction. This makes the rider experience a maximum velocity and also a minimum. This happens because the arms swing together, increasing the speed to its maximum. Then when the arms swing the opposite directions, the speed is at the minimum. Also during the ride, the potential energy rises as the riders are forced into the air, ascending to the height of 32 meters.
