Flying Scooters was a product previously manufactured by defunct company Bisch Rocco. It consists of a main metal frame that spins on an axis with individual cars attached by cable to the main frame. These cars are able to change their trajectory via a large rudder that the rider manually operates. The ride vehicles have had a few different iterations and ultimately ended on the most well known Streamline versions.[1]
