Tail Spin

Tail Spin is a mechanical thrill ride situated within the northern Gold Coast precinct of Helensvale. The attraction features twelve individual planes attached to a central rotating arm, reaching heights of 22 metres above the ground. Each vehicle is equipped with manual controls, allowing riders to tilt the wings to induce a 360-degree spinning motion or maintain a steady flight path. This level of interactivity distinguishes it from traditional fixed-path amusement rides, offering a variable experience based on the occupant's input. Located near the major transport hub of Westfield Helensvale, the attraction serves as a primary drawcard for visitors to the region's entertainment district. The ride provides clear sightlines across the surrounding parkland and northern suburbs. Safety requirements include a minimum height restriction of 120 centimetres, ensuring the attraction meets rigorous operational standards for all participants. Its proximity to the Pacific Motorway makes it an accessible destination for both local residents and tourists travelling through the Gold Coast corridor.
