Desert Whirlwind Ride

Another themed amusment park ride, this time, wild west!
We have some stone and gold nuggets.
Cactus, pith helmet and pick axes to complete the scene.
Here's the seat. The ride itself spins you around, as if you were stuck in a dust tornado!
Here's a close-up of the base.
A 2x2 tile with a vertical half-pin attaches to a two hole 1x2 technic brick. The other hole has a technic round half-pin, which attaches to the pillar of round 2x2 bricks.
There's a barrel built in to add to the wild west theme.
I couldn't figure out a better way to spin the ride with the pieces I have, so you just turn it with your hand for now.

Lost a hat!
The base is tan plates, with different layers of plates, bricks and tiles to give it a sandy desert look.
One more view of the whole ride.
