Incrediball Circus II is a playful ball machine sculpture with a circus theme created for a children’s hospital. The sculpture becomes a lighthearted diversion for adults and children facing difficult situations.
Approximately forty balls run through a maze of track, spinning and twirling through Helices, Dips, a Bounce & Catch, a Vee-Bounce, and a Triple Loop! Colorful shapes and painted clowns intermix with musical elements like Hammer chimes, Xylophone bars, Gongs, Bells, and Wood Blocks. The sculpture even includes a separate Triple Chaos Pendulum activated by its own 2 1/2 “ inch steel ball.
This ball machine was designed by George Rhoads in collaboration with Rock Stream Studios.
