01The Origin of the Cups Ride

The Cup ride originated in the mid-20th century and was first introduced in 1955 at Disneyland in California, USA. It was designed by Walt Disney and his team to provide easy and interactive entertainment for family visitors. Riders could sit in rotating cups and control the speed of the spin, creating an experience that was both simple and fun. This innovative design quickly attracted visitors of all ages, especially children, becoming one of the iconic attractions at Disneyland. Not only did the Cup ride change traditional ride design, it also became the basis for future interactive entertainment projects.

Other parks adapted and modified the Teacup to suit local culture and visitor needs. Its simple and interactive design attracted visitors of different age groups, making the ride an important entertainment element in the parks. The global spread of the Teacup ride has made it a standard feature of almost all major theme parks and one of the most popular choices for family visitors.
