360 degree spin?

[BlueChip]

I bought my son a Red Letter Day rib ride experience on the Thames for his birthday - http://www.redletterdays.co.uk/Experience/Ref/LRVEO

He had a great time but said he was dissapointed they didnt do any 360 degree spins. As this features quite heavily in their marketing blurb, I quote "....and entertaining the crowds as you whisk around in 360-degree spins." he felt a bit short changed.

He queried this with the company and they told him that a 360 degree spin is when they round a buoy. Well that sounds like a load of old **lls to me and I guess the driver just couldnt be bothered to throw the rib around in tight circles.

What do Forumites think?

Was it a jet rib?

If not I would say its pretty tricky to do on any decent size rib.....on purpose anyway.

Unless they meant 360 degree spin along the horizontal axis but then you would need big waves and seatbelts!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to see their insurance premium if spinning is part of the package!

Sorry ...... just looked at the link.

Nice rib but tight turns is about all you could get in my view.

Would feel pretty exciting no doubt so I think your are right....lazy rib drivers!!
