The Top Spin is a thrill ride developed by HUSS Park Attractions, and is the generic name for a series of rides from other manufacturers that follow the same principle.

A typical top spin program runs the main arm motors while engaging and disengaging the platform brakes so that it will rotate in exciting ways.

The ride was introduced to the public in 1990 and proved an instant success with European fairgoers.
