    摘要: A passenger restraint device of a fairground ride passenger unit, which has a passenger space, includes a position-adjustable restraint element and a lockable hydraulic adjuster which acts on the restraint element and has a cylinder-piston unit and a hydraulic accumulator. The hydraulic accumulator and the cylinder-piston unit of the hydraulic adjuster form a structural unit in that the cylinder of the cylinder-piston unit and a cylinder of the hydraulic accumulator arranged next to and parallel to the cylinder are part of an integrated cylinder assembly. The integrated cylinder assembly has a connection block with a switching plate on an axial end face, wherein the hydraulic accumulator is configured as a single unit and is detachably mounted on the switching plate.

    摘要: A free-fall apparatus comprising a vertical structure that houses and supports a lifting assembly that includes a wearable harness, a support member, anchored pulleys, a lifting cable, and a lifting device. The vertical structure also houses and supports a braking assembly that includes a pair of cylinders, pistons, anchored pulleys, and braking cables. The amusement ride's unique design provides end-users with selective control of their entertainment experience by allowing each end-user the ability to decide when to engage the release mechanism that induces the safe yet exhilarating free-fall experience.

    摘要: An amusement park monitoring system may include a plurality of sensor devices configured to acquire data related to one or more individuals within an amusement park and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to process the data from the plurality of sensor devices. The instructions further cause the processor to identify an activity performed by the one or more individuals based on the data and compare the activity to a behavior model. The behavior model may be indicative of one or more behavior threshold values associated with one or more amusement park attractions. The processor may then determine that the activity exceeds a behavior threshold value of the one or more behavior threshold values and initiate an action in response to the activity exceeding the behavior threshold value.

    摘要: An amusement attraction features a wall structure, a respective set of illuminable handholds distributed over a wall surface of at least one upright wall of the structure, a floor surface residing adjacent to the upright wall on a side thereof faced by the wall surface, and one or more detection devices operable to detect landing of a participant on the floor surface during attempted traversal of the wall surface. A controller is operable to illuminate the handholds in different colour-coded patterns. Each pattern includes illumination of “authorized” handholds in a first colour, illumination of “prohibited” handholds in a second colour, and illumination of “targeted” handholds in a third colour. In a game-play session, participants are tasked with grasping of the targeted handholds while traversing the wall structure, with penalties applied for detected landing of participants on the floor surface and gripping of prohibited handholds.
