The switching mechanism on this ride is simple.

There's a couple of metal fins attached under each gondola. Both ends of each fin have a guide roller that runs on the side of the platform surface (This guide the gondola travel in a circle. No mechanism on the turntable). At the switching point, There's the X cross-device installed. When the gondola reaches the switching point, The metal fin inserts between the gap of the X and guide its "straight" to the opposite turntable.

I found an image of the ride base structure. The black part is a guide rail that guided the gondola to travel in a circle (a turntable just push the gondola forward). The X or switching part will be located at the center (not invisible in this picture).
