Tilt-A-Whirl Chaos (II)

Tilt-A-Whirl in action. Sellner Manufacturing Co.

The Tilt-A-Whirl amusement park ride serves as a wonderful example of a chaotic system.

The unpredictable motion of the Tilt-A-Whirl’s cars occurs when the ride’s seven platforms travel at a speed of about 6.5 revolutions per minute along the undulating, circular track (see Tilt-A-Whirl Chaos (I), April 22, 2000).
