Description: Maple seeds that are lightweight but sturdy. Amusement parks use them. Passengers get in the fiberglass seed, then the seed is picked up by a crane and taken into the aluminum frame. The top wing part lets the seed slowly twirl down to the ground. The seed lands in water, where a propeller sends the seed back up.

Uses: Entertainment. To make people dizzy. Sixteen people per ride.
