Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Vergnügungsgerät mit einer Basis, an der wenigstens ein schwenk- oder drehbarer Träger zur Halterung von an dem Träger in Gondeln angeordneten Sitzreihen befestigt ist, entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an amusement device with a base on which at least one pivotable or rotatable support for holding rows of seats arranged on the support in gondolas is attached, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einer Vielzahl von Vergnügungsgeräten zur Verwendung auf Jahrmärkten und dergleichen werden Fahrgäste zu einer Fahrt in Gondeln aufgenommen, die mit dem Vergnügungsgerät mehr oder weniger schnell in vertikaler Richtung bewegt werden. Die Bewegung kann linear oder kreisförmig erfolgen. Ein kreisförmiger Bewegungsablauf wird insbesondere an Riesenrädern verwendet, wobei eine Vielzahl von Gondeln an einem drehenden Rad befestigt ist. Die Gondeln des Riesenrades sind schwenkbar an der Peripherie des Rades angeordnet. Bei manchen Riesenrädern können sie auch in horizontaler Ebene gedreht werden. Bei Halt des Riesenrades können eine oder mehrere sich im unteren Bereich jeweils auf einer Plattform befindende Gondeln be- und entladen werden.In a large number of amusement devices for use at fairs and the like, passengers are taken for a ride in gondolas which are moved more or less quickly in the vertical direction with the amusement device. The movement can be linear or circular. A circular motion sequence is used in particular on Ferris wheels, with a plurality of gondolas being attached to a rotating wheel. The gondolas of the Ferris wheel are pivotably arranged on the periphery of the wheel. With some Ferris wheels, they can also be rotated in a horizontal plane. When the Ferris wheel is stopped, one or more gondolas, each located on a platform in the lower area, can be loaded and unloaded.

Bei anderen schaukelförmigen Vergnügungsgeräten befinden sich Sitze an beiden Enden eines Tragbalkens, der durch Eigenbewegung der Fahrgäste bewegt werden kann oder auch motorisch bewegt wird. Das Be- und Entladen erfolgt auch in dieser Ausführung in einem Zustand, in dem eine Gondel sich im unteren Bereich auf einer Plattform befindet. Zur Sicherung des Trägers im nicht ausbalancierten Zustand beim Entladen einer Gondel ist der Träger dabei mechanisch zu fixieren.In other swing-shaped amusement devices, there are seats at both ends of a support beam that can be moved by the passengers' own movement or is moved by a motor. In this version, too, loading and unloading takes place in a state in which a gondola is located in the lower area on a platform. To secure the carrier in the unbalanced state when unloading a gondola, the carrier must be mechanically fixed.

Es ist auch bekannt, Sitze in Gondeln kardanisch aufzuhängen, um eine Bewegung in drei Ebenen zu ermöglichen. Entsprechende Gondeln werden nach ihrer Beladung mittels eines Hubgerüstes auf eine größere Höhe angehoben und können dann die gewünschten Bewegungsmuster entweder durch manuelle Betätigung oder durch motorisch gesteuerten Antrieb durchführen. Der Nachteil einer solchen Anordnung liegt darin, dass während des Auf- und Abfahrens der Gondeln sowie bei der Be- und Entladung der Spielbetrieb des Vergnügungsgerätes unterbrochen ist.It is also known to gimball seats in gondolas to enable movement in three planes. Corresponding gondolas are raised to a greater height after their loading by means of a lifting frame and can then carry out the desired movement patterns either by manual actuation or by a motor-controlled drive. The disadvantage of such an arrangement is that the play operation of the amusement device is interrupted while the gondolas are moving up and down and when loading and unloading.

US 2006/035715 A1 offenbart ein Vergnügungsgerät mit einer Basis, an der wenigstens ein drehbarer Träger zur Halterung von an dem Träger in Gondeln angeordneten Sitzreihen befestigt ist, wobei die Gondeln durch kardanisch ineinander greifende Rahmen gebildet sind, wodurch die Sitzreihen in den Gondeln kardanisch aufgehängt und in drei senkrecht zueinander stehenden Ebenen bewegbar sind. US 2006/035715 A1 discloses an amusement device with a base on which at least one rotatable support is attached for holding rows of seats arranged on the support in gondolas, the gondolas being formed by gimbaled frames, whereby the rows of seats in the gondolas are gimballed and three perpendicular to each other standing levels are movable.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Vergnügungsgerät mit Gondeln mit kardanischer Aufhängung derart weiterzubilden, dass wenigstens zwei entsprechende Gondeln gleichzeitig betrieben werden können und diese im Wechsel be- und entladen werden können, wobei der Energiebedarf zum Betreiben des Vergnügungsgerätes minimiert ist und die Spielzeit des Vergnügungsgerätes pro Zeiteinheit erhöht werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object of developing an amusement device with gondolas with cardanic suspension in such a way that at least two corresponding gondolas can be operated at the same time and these can be loaded and unloaded alternately, the energy requirement for operating the amusement device being minimized and the playing time of the amusement device can be increased per unit of time.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebene Erfindung gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by the invention specified in claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Vergnügungsgerät mit einer Basis, an der wenigstens ein schwenk- oder drehbarer Träger zur Halterung von in Gondeln angeordneten Sitzreihen befestigt ist, wobei die Gondeln an dem Träger in Bezug auf die Basis wenigstens in Vertikalrichtung bewegbar sind und die Sitzreihen in der Gondel in wenigstens zwei zueinander senkrecht stehenden Ebenen dreh- oder auch schwenkbar sind.The invention is based on an amusement device with a base on which at least one pivotable or rotatable carrier for holding rows of seats arranged in gondolas is attached, the gondolas on the carrier being movable at least in the vertical direction with respect to the base and the rows of seats in the gondola can be rotated or pivoted in at least two mutually perpendicular planes.

Erfindungsgemäß ist der Träger durch zwei parallel verlaufende Arme gebildet, zwischen denen wenigstens zwei Gondeln befestigt sind, die durch kardanisch ineinandergreifende Rahmen gebildet sind, wodurch die Sitzreihen in der Gondel kardanisch in drei senkrecht zueinander stehenden Ebenen bewegbar sind.According to the invention, the support is formed by two parallel arms, between which at least two gondolas are attached, which are formed by gimbal interlocking frames, whereby the rows of seats in the gondola are gimbaled in three mutually perpendicular planes.

Der wenigstens eine Träger ist ein stumpfwinklig abgewinkelter oder bogenförmig zur Basis gewölbter motorisch angetriebener Tragbalken mit zwei Armen, der im mittleren Bereich an der Basis gelagert ist und an seinen nach oben gerichteten Enden mit je einer Gondel versehen ist.The at least one support is an obtuse-angled or curved motor-driven supporting beam with two arms, which is angled at an obtuse angle to the base and which is mounted in the middle area on the base and is provided with a gondola each at its upwardly directed ends.

Während eine der Gondeln in ihrer Ausgangsstellung be- und entladbar ist, können weitere an dem Träger befestigte Gondeln in einem vorgegebenen Fahrprogramm weiter betrieben werden.While one of the gondolas can be loaded and unloaded in its starting position, other gondolas attached to the carrier can continue to be operated in a predetermined travel program.

Ein derartiges Vergnügungsgerät weist den Vorteil auf, dass durch die besondere Gestaltung der Gondeln in Form einer kardanischen Aufhängung der Sitze ein großer Vergnügungseffekt erreicht werden kann und andererseits der Betreiber des Vergnügungsgerätes einen hohen Fahrgastdurchsatz erreichen kann. Dabei ist der Energieaufwand zum Betrieb des Vergnügungsgerätes relativ gering. Ebenso ist der Platzbedarf für das Vergnügungsgerät relativ klein.Such an amusement device has the advantage that, due to the special design of the gondolas in the form of a cardanic suspension of the seats, a great amusement effect can be achieved and, on the other hand, the operator of the amusement device a high one Can achieve passenger throughput. The energy expenditure for operating the amusement device is relatively low. The space requirement for the amusement device is also relatively small.

Bei diesem nach Art einer Wippschaukel ausgebildeten Gerät weist der Träger an beiden Enden je eine Gondel auf. Der Träger ist über ein Schwenkgelenk an der Basis befestigt. Bei erhöhter Lagerung des Trägers gegenüber der Basis können bei der Bewegung des Trägers an den Enden relativ hohe Höhen erreicht werden. Die Bewegungssteuerung der Gondeln bzw. der in den Gondeln angeordneten Sitzreihen erfolgt vorzugsweise motorisch. Auch die Auf- und Abbewegung der Enden des Trägers erfolgen motorisch, z. B. elektromotorisch, hydraulisch oder pneumatisch. Die Bewegungen des Trägers und der Gondeln können in der Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit und der Bewegungsmuster aufeinander abgestimmt werden.In this device, which is designed in the manner of a seesaw swing, the carrier has a gondola at each end. The carrier is attached to the base via a pivot joint. If the carrier is positioned at an elevated position with respect to the base, relatively high heights can be reached at the ends when the carrier is moved. The movement of the gondolas or the rows of seats arranged in the gondolas is preferably controlled by a motor. The up and down movement of the ends of the girder is also done by a motor, e.g. B. electric motor, hydraulic or pneumatic. The movements of the carrier and the gondolas can be coordinated in terms of the speed of movement and the movement pattern.

In einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann der Träger anstelle einer Schwenkbewegung um eine Schwenkachse auch entlang einer bogenförmigen Führungsbahn zwischen Träger und Basis verschoben werden, so dass die Enden des Trägers auch auf diese Weise große Höhen erreichen können.In an alternative embodiment, instead of a pivoting movement about a pivot axis, the carrier can also be displaced along an arcuate guide path between the carrier and the base, so that the ends of the carrier can also reach great heights in this way.

In einer anderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Träger als Tragrad ausgebildet, das um eine mit der Basis verbundene zentrale Drehachse drehbar gelagert ist, wobei das Tragrad wenigstens zwei Gondeln an der Peripherie enthält. Die Sitzreihen in der Gondel sind ebenfalls kardanisch aufgehängt. Zwar entspricht das Grundprinzip einem Riesenrad, jedoch wird durch die Einführung einer kardanischen Aufhängung der einzelnen Gondeln bzw. der Sitzreihen der Gondeln ein gesteigerter Vergnügungseffekt erreicht. Die Zahl der Gondeln kann auch größer als zwei gewählt werden.In another embodiment of the invention, the carrier is designed as a carrying wheel which is mounted rotatably about a central axis of rotation connected to the base, the carrying wheel containing at least two gondolas on the periphery. The rows of seats in the gondola are also gimbaled. Although the basic principle corresponds to a Ferris wheel, the introduction of a cardanic suspension for the individual gondolas or the rows of seats in the gondolas increases the enjoyment effect. The number of gondolas can also be chosen to be greater than two.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform können auch zwei parallel angeordnete Träger verwendet werden, die an ihren Enden jeweils eine Gondel aufweisen, so dass im Betrieb des Vergnügungsgerätes nur jeweils eine der Gondeln zur Be- und Entladung abgesenkt werden muss, während der nicht zu beladende Träger weiter betrieben werden kann und die der zu be- oder entladenden Gondel gegenüberliegende Gondel auf großer Höhe bleiben kann.In a further embodiment, two carriers arranged in parallel can also be used, each of which has a gondola at its ends, so that when the amusement device is in operation, only one of the gondolas has to be lowered for loading and unloading, while the carrier that is not to be loaded continues to operate and the gondola opposite the gondola to be loaded or unloaded can remain at a great height.

Die kardanisch miteinander verbundenen Rahmen der Gondeln sind vorzugsweise rechteckig, oval oder kreisförmig ausgebildet. Dabei ist ein äußerer Rahmen drehbar an zwei Armen des jeweiligen Trägers gelagert, während die Sitzreihen an einem Innenrahmen befestigt sind. Ein Zwischenrahmen verbindet den äußeren mit dem inneren Rahmen kardanisch miteinander. Vorzugsweise sind die Sitzreihen an beiden Seiten eines Schenkels des inneren Rahmens befestigt. Die Sitzreihen können auch an zwei gegenüberliegenden Schenkeln des inneren Rahmens befestigt werden, um so eine bessere Gewichtssymmetrie herstellen zu können. Bei dieser Ausführungsform müssen jedoch geeignete Möglichkeiten zum Be- und Entladen der Sitze auf der Plattform bereitgestellt sein, welche bei der Beladung oder Entladung nur eines Schenkels bei senkrechtstehendem Innenrahmen einfacher herzustellen sind.The cardanically interconnected frames of the gondolas are preferably rectangular, oval or circular. An outer frame is rotatably mounted on two arms of the respective carrier, while the rows of seats are attached to an inner frame. An intermediate frame gimbals connects the outer frame with the inner frame. Preferably, the rows of seats are attached to both sides of a leg of the inner frame. The rows of seats can also be attached to two opposite legs of the inner frame in order to achieve better weight symmetry. In this embodiment, however, suitable options for loading and unloading the seats must be provided on the platform, which are easier to produce when loading or unloading only one leg with a vertical inner frame.

Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, die an dem oder den Schenkeln des inneren Rahmens angeordneten Sitzreihen dreh- oder schwenkbar auszugestalten.It can also be provided that the rows of seats arranged on the leg or legs of the inner frame are designed to be rotatable or pivotable.

Die Figuren 1 - 3 zeigen eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung, bei der auf einer plattformartigen Basis 1 ein bogenförmiger Träger 2 in seinem mittleren Bereich in einem Lager 9 kippbar aufgenommen ist. Die Basis 1 enthält einen Be- und Entladebereich 10, in dem die Fahrgäste die an dem Träger 2 endseitig angeordnete Gondel 8 betreten oder verlassen können. Am gegenüberliegenden Ende des Trägers 2 ist eine weitere Gondel 3 angeordnet, die entsprechend in einem weiteren Be- und Entladebereich auf der Basis 1 betreten oder verlassen werden kann. Zwar ist der Träger 2 bogenförmig dargestellt, aber er kann auch stumpfwinklig ausgebildet sein. Mit einer bogenförmigen oder stumpfwinklig abgewinkelten Gestalt werden große endseitige Höhen erhalten, wenn das gegenüberliegende Ende abgesenkt ist.The Figures 1 - 3 show an embodiment of the invention in which on a platform-like base 1 an arched carrier 2 is tiltably received in its central area in a bearing 9. The base 1 contains a loading and unloading area 10 in which the passengers can enter or leave the gondola 8 arranged at the end of the carrier 2. A further gondola 3 is arranged at the opposite end of the carrier 2, which can be entered or exited accordingly in a further loading and unloading area on the base 1. Although the carrier 2 is shown in an arc shape, it does can also be formed at an obtuse angle. With an arcuate or obtuse-angled shape, great end heights are obtained when the opposite end is lowered.

Das Lager 9 befindet sich auf der Basis 1 an einem erhöhten Gerüst 11, so dass die Enden des bogenförmigen Trägers 2 jeweils ausreichend weit nach unten geschwenkt werden können um die Gondeln 3 oder 8 betreten oder verlassen zu können.The bearing 9 is located on the base 1 on a raised frame 11, so that the ends of the arched carrier 2 can each be pivoted downward sufficiently to be able to enter or leave the gondolas 3 or 8.

Die Gondeln 3 und 8 sind endseitig an dem Träger 2 angeordnet und bestehen aus drei ineinander verschachtelten Rahmen, die rechtwinklig gegeneinander gelagert sind. Der äußere Rahmen 7 ist in einem Lager 12 gelagert. Der Zwischenrahmen 6 ist mit seiner Lagerachse rechtwinklig zur Lagerachse 12 in dem äußeren Rahmen 7 gelagert. Im Inneren des Zwischenrahmens 6 ist der innere Rahmen 5 über das Lager 13 gegenüber dem Zwischenrahmen 6 gelagert. Die Anordnung der Lager 12, 13, 14 der ineinandergreifenden Rahmen 5, 6, 7 ergibt eine kardanische Lagerung, so dass der innere Rahmen 5 in rechtwinklig aufeinander stehenden Ebenen bewegbar ist. Die Bewegung erfolgt vorzugsweise motorisch nach einem vorgewählten Steuerprogramm.The gondolas 3 and 8 are arranged at the end on the carrier 2 and consist of three nested frames which are mounted at right angles to one another. The outer frame 7 is mounted in a bearing 12. The intermediate frame 6 is mounted with its bearing axis at right angles to the bearing axis 12 in the outer frame 7. In the interior of the intermediate frame 6, the inner frame 5 is supported via the bearing 13 with respect to the intermediate frame 6. The arrangement of the bearings 12, 13, 14 of the interlocking frames 5, 6, 7 results in a cardanic mounting so that the inner frame 5 can be moved in planes that are at right angles to one another. The movement is preferably performed by a motor according to a preselected control program.

Der innere Rahmen 5 weist auf dem freien Schenkel 15 zwei parallel angeordnete Sitzreihen 4 auf, wobei die Einzelsitze der Sitzreihen auf beiden Seiten des Schenkels befestigt sind. Der gegenüberliegende Schenkel 16 des inneren Rahmens 5 kann ein Gegengewicht aufweisen. Der Schenkel 16 kann jedoch ebenfalls Sitzreihen aufnehmen, wenn das Be- und Entladen der Sitzreihen auf der Plattform geeignet gewährleistet werden kann. Dafür sollten die Schenkel 15 und 16 gegenüber dem inneren Rahmen 5 drehbar sein, um die Sitzreihen beim Be- und Entladen jeweils in aufrechter Stellung halten zu können.The inner frame 5 has two parallel rows of seats 4 on the free leg 15, the individual seats of the rows of seats being fastened on both sides of the leg. The opposite leg 16 of the inner frame 5 can have a counterweight. The leg 16 can, however, also accommodate rows of seats if the loading and unloading of the rows of seats on the platform can be ensured in a suitable manner. For this purpose, the legs 15 and 16 should be rotatable with respect to the inner frame 5 in order to be able to hold the rows of seats in an upright position during loading and unloading.

Die aus den Rahmen 5, 6, 7 gebildeten Gondeln sind vorzugsweise rechteckförmig gestaltet, sie können jedoch auch andere Formen, wie oval oder kreisförmig, ausgestaltet sein.The gondolas formed from the frames 5, 6, 7 are preferably rectangular, but they can also have other shapes, such as oval or circular.

Zum Be- und Entladen einer Gondel wird der Träger 2 an einem Ende so weit abgesenkt, dass der Schenkel des inneren Rahmens, der die Sitzreihen trägt, bis auf die Basis 1 heruntergefahren werden kann. Nach der Beladung der Sitzreihen kann das entsprechende Ende des Trägers 2 wieder angehoben werden, während das gegenüberliegende Ende des Trägers abgesenkt wird. Die Gondeln können dadurch nach Art einer Wippschaukel gegenläufig synchron auf- und abbewegt werden.For loading and unloading a gondola, the carrier 2 is lowered so far at one end that the leg of the inner frame, which carries the rows of seats, can be lowered onto the base 1. After loading the rows of seats, the corresponding End of the beam 2 can be raised again, while the opposite end of the beam is lowered. The gondolas can be moved up and down synchronously in opposite directions like a seesaw.

Fig. 2 zeigt das Vergnügungsgerät von Fig. 1 in Aufsicht. Die Figur verdeutlicht, dass der Träger 2 aus zwei parallel laufenden Armen 17 und 18 gebildet ist, zwischen denen die äußeren Rahmen 7 der beiden Gondeln 3 und 8 aufgenommen sind. Die äußeren Rahmen 7 sind über das Lager 12 in einer vertikalen Ebene drehbar. Der Zwischenrahmen 6 ist über das Lager 14 an dem äußeren Rahmen 7 drehbar gelagert. Die Lagerung des inneren Rahmens 5 erfolgt über das Lager 13 im Zwischenrahmen 6. Fig. 2 shows the amusement device of Fig. 1 under supervision. The figure shows that the carrier 2 is formed from two parallel arms 17 and 18, between which the outer frames 7 of the two gondolas 3 and 8 are received. The outer frames 7 are rotatable in a vertical plane via the bearing 12. The intermediate frame 6 is rotatably mounted on the outer frame 7 via the bearing 14. The inner frame 5 is supported by the bearing 13 in the intermediate frame 6.

Fig. 3 zeigt die Anordnung in Fig. 1 in Vorderansicht mit den Armen 17 und 18 sowie einer angehobenen Gondel 3 und einer abgesenkten Gondel 8. Die Gondel 3 befindet sich in ihrer höchsten Stellung, während sich die Gondel 8 auf der anderen Seite des Vergnügungsgerätes in der Be- und Entladestellung befindet. Fig. 3 shows the arrangement in Fig. 1 in front view with the arms 17 and 18 and a raised gondola 3 and a lowered gondola 8. The gondola 3 is in its highest position, while the gondola 8 is on the other side of the amusement device in the loading and unloading position.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine zweite Ausführungsform der Erfindung, bei der zwei Gondeln 19 und 20 parallel zueinander angeordnet sind. Die Aufhängung der Gondeln erfolgt über drei Arme 21, 22, 23. Damit erfolgt die Hubbewegung der Gondeln 19 und 20 synchron, während der Bewegungsablauf der Gondeln 19 und 20 entweder auch synchron oder unterschiedlich zueinander betrieben werden kann. Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment of the invention, in which two gondolas 19 and 20 are arranged parallel to one another. The suspension of the gondolas takes place via three arms 21, 22, 23. The lifting movement of the gondolas 19 and 20 thus takes place synchronously, while the movement sequence of the gondolas 19 and 20 can be operated either synchronously or differently from one another.

Die Figuren 5 - 7 zeigen eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung, bei der ein Träger 34 an einer zentralen Drehachse 29 befestigt ist, und nach Art eines Riesenrades um die zentrale Drehachse 29 drehbar ist. Die Gondeln 30 und 31 befinden sich an den peripheren Enden des Trägers 34. Die zentrale Drehachse 29 befindet sich an der Spitze eines Traggerüstes 33, das auf der Basis 1 angeordnet ist. Auch in dieser Ausführungsform sind die Gondeln bzw. Sitzreihen kardanisch aufgehängt.The Figures 5 - 7 show an embodiment of the invention in which a carrier 34 is attached to a central axis of rotation 29 and is rotatable about the central axis of rotation 29 in the manner of a Ferris wheel. The gondolas 30 and 31 are located at the peripheral ends of the carrier 34. The central axis of rotation 29 is located at the top of a support frame 33 which is arranged on the base 1. In this embodiment, too, the gondolas or rows of seats are gimbaled.

Fig. 5 zeigt eine Ausbildung mit einem Träger 34 mit zwei Gondeln 30 und 31. Fig. 6 zeigt einen dreiarmigen Träger mit jeweils einer Gondel 30, 31, 32 am Ende der Arme des Trägers, wobei die Gondel 32 sich in Be- und Entladestellung befindet. Fig. 7 zeigt einen vierarmigen Träger mit vier Gondeln. Auch eine größere Zahl von Gondeln an einer entsprechenden Zahl von Armen kann entsprechend realisiert werden. Bei einem zweiarmigen Träger kann eine der Gondeln auch durch ein Gegengewicht ersetzt werden. Fig. 5 shows an embodiment with a carrier 34 with two gondolas 30 and 31. Fig. 6 shows a three-armed carrier, each with a gondola 30, 31, 32 at the end of the arms of the carrier, the gondola 32 being in the loading and unloading position. Fig. 7 shows a four-armed Carrier with four gondolas. A larger number of gondolas on a corresponding number of arms can also be implemented accordingly. With a two-armed carrier, one of the gondolas can also be replaced by a counterweight.

In den Figuren sind die Gondeln als offene Rahmenanordnung dargestellt. Die Gondeln können jedoch auch geschlossen ausgebildet sein, indem der äußere Rahmen ein Gehäuse bildet, in dem der Zwischenrahmen und der innere Rahmen aufgenommen sind. Auch der innere Rahmen kann ein Gehäuse bilden, in dem die Sitzreihen oder einzelne Sitze in unterschiedlicher Anordnung aufgenommen sein können. Die Gehäuse weisen Türen auf und sind mit oder ohne Fenster versehen. Dabei können die Gehäuse auch mit Projektionsflächen versehen sein, auf denen visuelle Darstellungen angezeigt werden, die den Vergnügungseffekt der Fahrgäste weiter erhöhen können.
