AMUSEMENT RIDE
1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The invention relates to the field of amusement rides.
BACKGROUND
Amusement rides have long been some of the well liked passengers in amusement parks. Passenger load and unload at a platform, typically at the low elevation. At the beginning of each ride cycle, a Amusement ride vehicle is locked to be safe to upload passengers. Vehicle is then released to gain 1.0 kinetic energy from potential energy, if it is at the highest point of the track, or from electrical motor installed on the vehicle or track. The Amusement ride track typically includes various loops, turns, inversions and other configuration intended to thrill the passenger. A number of amusement rides have been devised in which passengers can apparently race each other in a simulated dragster format.
Traditional Amusement rides travel along rail tracks and provide their passengers with stationary seat which fix the motion of the passengers to the direction of the travel of vehicle.
The overall effect attained by traditional Amusement rides is to statically couple passengers to the vehicle and therefore sense essentially the same motions in forces experienced by the vehicles in which they ride. This problem is experienced by most amusement rides, which due to static nature of the ride provides the same ride sensation and experience every time it is ridden.
Nowadays amusement rides have evolved from simple equipment to advanced and technically sophisticated equipment with special mechanisms and various movements. Thanks to virtual reality and by using new Date Recue/Date Received 2023-08-02
