Abstract: A ride vehicle with upright, straddle-type passenger seating that includes a passenger restraint system. This restraint system includes a lap bar assembly and a lap bar pivotal mount element pivotally supporting the lap bar assembly within the vehicle body to pivot about a rotation axis passing through the vehicle body between the seat pan and the front end of the vehicle body. The lap bar assembly may include a lap bar along with side and front leg shields that contain a passenger's legs within the vehicle. The lap bar assembly is rotatable as a unit about the rotation axis, in a forward portion of the vehicle body, from a disengaged position to an engaged position. In the disengaged position, the leg shields are moved forward away from an access to the seat pan, and, in the engaged position, the passenger's legs are blocked from lateral and forward movement.

Abstract: An amusement park ride adapted to provide passengers unobstructed lines of sight in turns and increased turn velocities. The ride includes a track and a ride vehicle. The ride vehicle includes a track connector assembly coupled to the track for movement along the ride path in a direction of travel. The vehicle also includes a vehicle base mounted to the track connector assembly to move with the track connector. The vehicle includes a bridge, or cantilever support arm or boom, extending from the vehicle base. The vehicle further includes a passenger compartment with one or more passenger seats. The passenger compartment is mounted to the bridge such that the seats and any passengers seated therein are spaced apart from the base at a cantilever distance. As a result, the passenger compartment has fore or aft cantilever mounting relative to the track connector assembly and relative to the vehicle base.

Abstract translation: 一个娱乐公园车，轮流提供乘客畅通无阻的视线，并提高转弯速度。 该车包括一条轨道和一辆骑车。 乘坐车辆包括轨道连接器组件，该轨道连接器组件联接到轨道，用于沿行驶路线沿行进方向运动。 车辆还包括安装到轨道连接器组件以与轨道连接器一起移动的车辆基座。 车辆包括从车辆底座延伸的桥梁或悬臂支撑臂或吊杆。 车辆还包括具有一个或多个乘客座椅的乘客舱。 乘客舱被安装到桥上，使得座位和坐在其中的任何乘客以悬臂距离与基座间隔开。 结果，乘客舱具有相对于轨道连接器组件和相对于车辆基座的前悬挂安装。
