It's a theme park where anybody, including children, can operate
construction plant!

How did they get that past the Elfin Safety bodies, and their
insurers?

They are mostly stationary. Good fun though. And there's a more scary
ride in a very big digger bucket...

By limiting what you can and can't do generally. So there are for
example mini bobcat front end loaders you can drive about - but they
have the gib clamped in place so you can only drive about and not do any
damage with the lifting bit. Excavators are tied down, and you are
instructed to only use limited rotation between to end markers, and two
of the three arm movements.

Yup, not a bad day out.

My only disappointment was that playing on the 6 tonne excavator, they
don't like you using all the freedoms of movement, so you can't dig
properly...

Spindizzy is one of the best "rides" - particularly good if the bloke
operating it is in an evil frame of mind, and worked out that all the
passengers are blokes, and its coming to the end of a day!
