NEW PALTZ, N.Y. — Carnival thrill seekers will have their first opportunity to experience one of the world's newest and most extreme rides when Artificial Intelligence makes its U.S. debut at the Ulster County Fair, which will take place on August 4-9.
Recently acquired by Dreamland Amusements, the spectacular attraction is unlike any ride currently traveling in the United States. Manufactured by Italy's Technical Park, Artificial Intelligence lifts riders nearly 50 feet into the air while combining multiple rotating movements that create a constantly changing sensation of spinning, swinging and weightlessness.
Instead of relying on a traditional circular motion, the ride uses an innovative elliptical rotation system with opposing pivot points. As the ride gains speed, the entire spinning platform tilts dramatically toward vertical, delivering an unpredictable experience that changes from moment to moment.
The arrival of Artificial Intelligence marks the first time the ride has been available to the American public, making the Ulster County Fair the exclusive launch site for one of the newest attractions on the international carnival circuit.
"Artificial Intelligence isn't just another thrill ride — it's an entirely new ride experience," said Robert DeStefano, owner of Dreamland Amusements. "We're excited to introduce this incredible attraction to the United States and give fairgoers the chance to be among the first Americans to ride it."
The attraction incorporates multiple redundant safety systems, including overhead steel restraint bars with padded supports and dual-locking restraint mechanisms designed to
securely hold riders throughout the experience.
