This giant carousel, nearly 25 meters high and 22 meters in diameter, is made up of three rides superimposed on each other. The two lower rides are embedded on a concrete structure, on which rests the upper arena surmounted by a capital decorated with pediments. The structure is populated by 36 moving elements representing sea creatures that are manipulated by the public.
Each level is dedicated to different depths of the ocean:
the lower level is the "seabed" theme, which includes a "giant crab", a "retropropulsion squid", an exploration craft that plunges into a machine room, and a bathyscaphe that climbs along the seabed. a central mast;
the intermediate level is dedicated to the "abyss", comprising 6 elements suspended 5 meters above the seabed, such as the deep-sea light, the Manta ray, or the pirate fish;
the upper level is dedicated to the "surface of the sea", and rests on a turntable, protected by a capital. It includes boats, marine teams and other flying fish, a "storm boat", "nut hulls" and jellyfish in a round disassembled by 24 large mechanical waves.
The attraction can hold up to 300 people (adults and children) including 89 on the machines. Located in the Parc des Chantiers in Nantes near the Machines de l'île, also designed and built by François Delarozière and Pierre Orefice, it was inaugurated in 2012.
