Bungee Bull
Ride 'em Cowboy! Remember the mechanical bull craze, Urban Cowboy, John Travolta and all that hubbub? The mechanical bull disappeared due to the number of chiropractors it kept in business! Well, it's back, it's safe and it's interactive. Instead of using an electro/hydraulic system to fling people around, our "bull" has a bungee system controlled by the partygoers. The aluminum, vinyl and foam bull is suspended from a circular frame by four powerful bungees. Underneath the bull lies a giant inflatable mattress to cushion a fall. One rider hops on "El Toro" while four friends each grab a bungee and begin oscillating the bull. The rider holds onto a rope/strap and tries to remain on the fierce beast for as long as possible. The motion is gentle, but it is a real challenge to hang on. Forty riders and 160 bungee agitators per hour can participate. The bull comes with one attendant. Additional attendants are available to operate the bull or participants from the crowd can be used to pull the strings.
