An apparatus for magnetic spin control includes a main chassis, a passenger chassis, a circular magnetic array, and a chassis-mounted fin. The main chassis is configured to ride on a track. The passenger chassis is rotatably supported on the main chassis and the passenger chassis is configured to support one or more passengers. The circular magnetic array is coupled to the passenger chassis such that the passenger chassis rotates with the circular magnetic array. The chassis-mounted fin is coupled to the main chassis and extends into a magnetic field of the circular magnetic array. The chassis-mounted fin includes a conductive material and operates as an eddy current brake to dampen rotation of the passenger chassis with respect to the main chassis. The chassis-mounted fin extends into the magnetic field and leaves at least a portion of the magnetic field unobstructed to allow a track-mounted fin to pass into the magnetic field. The circular magnetic array is configured to interact with a system of track mounted fins. The chassis- mounted fin provides rotational dampening of the passenger chassis, while the track-mounted fin(s) induce or inhibit rotation of the passenger chassis.

A method of fabricating an amusement park ride track utilizing stock, planar materials, namely comprising of creating elongated, curved structures from planar materials. A roller coaster track capable of being fabricated from multiple planar pieces without heating or bending. Other embodiments are described which utilize elongated, curved structures such as ski lifts, people movers, staircases and architectural structures. A jig is disclosed for providing for ease of manufacture of the elongated, curved structures.

The subject of this invention is a method and equipment for arranging banking of light metro train tracks and/or their electric power supplies and/or any tunnelling that covers the track. In a highly developed urban area such a track may rest on concrete foundations and supporting perpendicular pillars, for example made of steel, ideally 4.5 to 5 metres above street level, and may be constructed from building elements in which the bends may be prefabricated, for example by already prestressing and binding to the supporting structures at the production plant where the elements are made. These elements may then be assembled rapidly, for example, using a mobile crane, and will consist of straight sections interconnected with track saddles (7) and curved sections. Banking will be arranged for curved track sections using concentric U-shaped construction elements (Ia, 3a). This brings about track banking formed from the rails (2a, 2b), for example of 5 - 20 degrees corresponding to carriage speeds of 70 - 150 km/h, whereby the rails (2a, 2b) are set at mutually differing heights on the horizontal X-axis corresponding to carriage speed, centrifugal force and the sharpness of the bend so that there is no need to reduce the carriage speed at bends. Diagonal sections are made in the track extensions. The track is partly covered with a protective roof incorporating solar panels that generate electricity for the trains and for the national grid. The track of a train that moves on an air cushion or is lifted by a magnetic field, for example, may also be banked, and trains of this kind may be electrified in the foregoing manner.

The invention relates to an amusement device seat assembly, comprising a seat and a bar construction, moveable between a access position to a passenger fixation position, in which the passenger is fixed in the seat. The assembly further comprises locking means to lock the bar construction at the passenger fixation position. The locking means comprise engagement means to engage and disengage with the bar construction and a guide for the engagement means allowing the engagement means to assume an engagement position between the access position and the passenger fixation position, and allowing the engagement means and the engaged bar construction to move between the engagement position to the passenger fixation position. The locking means comprise fixation means for fixing the engagement means and the engaged bar construction at multiple passenger fixation positions along the guide to accommodate passengers of different sizes.

A waterslide amusement ride having in a portion thereof, a linear induction motor (30) to efficiently and effectively affect the motion of a vehicle (20) sliding on the ride. The linear induction motor comprises linear induction motor units (30) embedded below a sliding surface (16), and a reaction plate (32) mounted to the bottom (22) of the vehicle. Depending on the configuration of the linear induction motor units and the reaction plate, the linear induction motor drive can be used to accelerate the vehicle, decelerate the vehicle, maintain the speed of the vehicle up an uphill section, or rotate the vehicle.
