This amusement park ride, known in various parts of the world as the Scrambler, Twist, Twister, Cyclone, Sizzler, Merry Mixer, Grasscutter, or Cha Cha. In my part of the world (California) I've always seen it called the Scrambler. Wikipedia has more information about this ride under its various guises.
I built this model for the 2009 Bay Area Maker Faire where it was a part of BayLUG's largest ever public exhibit.
The operating mechanism is similar to the real thing - a central axle drives the whole mechanism, and rubber tires attached to each arm's driveshaft transfer that motion to the ends of each of the three main arms, where a 90 degree gear causes the 4 cars to spin around.

One of a number of spent shotgun cartridges I found in the Nsuta Forest Reserve.
The Nsuta Forest Reserve appeared to be almost devoid of diurnal mammals save for a few small green squirrels. The reserve is secondary forest used for logging, as such there's no longer a proper canopy as so many of the big trees have been taken out. This undoubtedly would have severely impacted species dependent on high canopy rainforest. Those mammals that are able to survive in degraded secondary forest, could cope reasonably well with the ongoing logging,
However, they have been all but wiped by commercial bushmeat poachers. Some bushmeat hunting is legal in Ghana, a few common species can be hunted between the 1st of August and the 1st of December with a licence, and the marsh cane rat known as a grasscutter can be hunted all year round. What's quite clear though is that almost all mammal species including those that should be protected are still being hunted illegally.
Monkeys like Lowe's and lesser spot-nosed that should be able to survive in secondary forest, have completely gone from Nsuta, purely because of illegal hunting..This seems to be a problem common to all forest reserves in Ghana, As all wild mammals have become rarer and rarer then poachers have had to venture deeper into protected areas to find them. Poaching is thus a serious problem in all of the national parks as well.
The combination of major habitat destruction and out of control bushmeat poaching has meant that many species that are endemic to this region are now threatened with imminent extinction. During one birding walk through Nsuta we encountered a poacher carrying a single-barrelled shotgun and a bag over his shoulder to contain whatever mammals he might have shot.

The Sizzler, also known as the Twister, Cyclone, Twist, Scrambler, Merry Mixer or Grasscutter is an amusement ride in which suspended riders spinning in cars experience the illusion that they will crash into other suspended, spinning cars. Riders are seated in small carriages clustered together and connected by beams at the top to a central point. The clustered vehicles are spun in one direction, while the ride as a whole spins in the opposite direction.
An intrguing gadget I saw along Gorleston seafront. This lawn mower was remote controlled, being directed by a guy with a remote at the top of the cliff.
I took my dog for her morning walk at the Metropolitan park in Kaohsiung three times this week. On Tuesday I saw a big dhaman rat snake (Ptyas mucosa) hunting on the south-facing wall. Then on Thursday, a cobra dashed away from in front of my face down the grassy mound that backs the washbasins as I gave my dog a drink at the bathrooms. Finally, this morning this big stink rat snake (Elaphe carinata) was hunting on the same wall as the other rat snake. It seems to have a scar on the back of its neck, no doubt from a grasscutter or hikers stick.
