Fabbri Group’s Crazy Dance also has a unique version called the Crazy Dance No. 1
This version features the usual set of 4 satellites, which spin on their own independent of the entire turntable also spinning, and the 4 satellites feature the usual set of 4 gondolas which also spin on their own going in all different directions.
The unique part of the Crazy Dance No. 1 is that this version also features a rising turntable (also sometimes referred to as a rising plate), where the entire turntable (plate) raises up from its original incline in the back next to the backdrop, in addition to the turntable itself, satellites, and gondolas all spinning independent of each other.
With this version, the ride operator, after the ride starts and builds up speed, will make the turntable (plate) start rising slowly, from back side, until it reaches its highest point which puts riders almost all the way up to the top of the backdrop looking down at the front side riders where those riders are looking up at the back side riders. As the entire ride spins, riders get a more intense spin action as they go from very low to very high and back to very low then back to very high, in repeated rounds of spinning, making their gondolas spin much faster and more often as each part of the ride does its own independent spinning while going at a much a steeper incline than when it is spinning at its original starting incline.
The ride operator also has the choice to take the turntable (plate) up to its highest incline and stay there for several minutes, or they can take the turntable (plate) up to its highest incline for several seconds then allow the turntable to come quickly back down to its original starting incline where they will then repeat this action several times.
The ride operator also has the option to start in one direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) then, after several minutes, reverse direction where riders will get to enjoy everything a second time for several more minutes. When the ride operator chooses to do this, riders will usually enjoy a ride cycle that is nearly, if not fully, twice as long.
This particular version has been seen at fairs in the United States in the mid to late 1990’s, such as the Kentucky State Fair in Louisville Kentucky, and it still appears to be operated at fairs and festivals in Europe.
Video 1 is an off ride video of the Crazy Dance No. 1 in action from 2017 at Foire de Printemps Colmar in Colmar France. In this video, the ride operator chooses to take the ride in a counterclockwise direction for the entire ride, and they choose take the turntable (plate) up, midway through the ride cycle, one time but keep it there for at least a couple of minutes before they bring it back down for the rest of the ride.
Video 2 is an on ride video of the Crazy Dance No. 1 in action from 2019 at Messti di Drusenheim in the Grand Est in north-eastern France. In this video the ride operator also chooses to take the ride in a counterclockwise direction for the entire ride, and they also choose to take the turntable (plate) up, midway through the ride cycle, one time but also keep it there for at least a couple of minutes before bringing it back down for the rest of the ride.
