    摘要: A backbone rail for a roller coaster, comprising two rail pipes designed for vehicles to travel upon, and at least one, particularly main load-bearing backbone pipe not designed for vehicles to travel on, whose second moment of area is greater than the second moment of area of the rail pipes, wherein rail pipes and backbone pipe are connected to each other section-by-section by stiffening bulkheads, whereby at least one bulkhead has the following features: A transverse cross member, which extends in the orthogonal direction and connects the rail pipes with each other, and bulkhead plates, connecting at least one rail pipe with the backbone pipe, wherein at least one bulkhead plate is designed as a longitudinal bulkhead plate, whose main plane of extension extends perpendicular to the bulkhead plane, and which is attached to the backbone pipe in such a way that it runs tangentially into the backbone pipe. In addition, the invention relates to a roller coaster arrangement with such a backbone rail.

    摘要: A ride control system that uses a state determination assembly to determine vehicle position and speed of the vehicle. The control system automatically prevents collisions between the controlled vehicle and other vehicles and obstacles along the vehicle's path without human operator intervention based on its position and speed as well as that of the other vehicles and the position and current operating state of upcoming obstacles. The control system automatically maintains a predetermined clearance between the controlled vehicle and other vehicles and obstacles, such as on a ride path, without human operator intervention regardless of vehicle inertia. The control system may be configured to automatically position and/or park a vehicle anywhere along the ride path with a high degree of accuracy in a minimum amount of parking time, without human operator intervention, and regardless of vehicle inertia.
