Mad Hatter Tea Cups

The concept

There are eighteen cups, each holding up to four people. They spin on three turntables, which in turn sit on one large turntable. A crazy contraption that, according to the park, is just what you'd expect in Wonderland. Festive music from the film accompanies your "un-birthday".

The Experience

With the wheel in the middle of your cup, you decide how fast and in which direction you spin. Fancy a wild ride? Turn it hard and hold on tight. Prefer a gentle spin? Then let go of the wheel. Note: even then your cup still moves across the platform.

You set the speed

Turn the wheel in the middle hard and your cup whirls round fast. Let go of it and things stay calm.

Take care if you get motion sick easily

Even without turning the wheel, your cup moves across the platform.

Love spinning

A version of this classic can be found in every Disneyland park. If you love spinning, you'll often go twice. Don't ride it straight after eating.
