ROUNDUP
Round Up
Round Up is an amusement ride consisting of a circular horizontal platform with a vertical cage-like wall around the edge. The platform is attached to a motor on a hydraulic arm. The ride starts out by spinning until the centrifugal force is enough to push riders against the wall. Then, the arm raises the horizontal platform to a vertical position in which riders, instead of spinning horizontally, are now spinning vertically.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Round Up (ride)

Roundup
A roundup was a widespread German World War II military tactic used in occupied countries, especially in German-occupied Poland, whereby the SS, Wehrmacht and RSHA captured non-German civilians ambushed at random on the streets of subjugated cities. The civilians were arrested from among passers-by or inhabitants of selected city quarters that had been surrounded by German forces.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Roundup (history)
