    摘要: A motion simulator for an entertainment system has a movable platform with one or more viewing positions and a supporting element for spectators to lean against. The platform is mounted on a support so as to have limited movability. A drive for moving the movable platform relative to the support has a cable drive fastened on the one hand to the support and on the other hand via at least one attachment point to the platform. An energy storage device is fastened between the support and the platform. The drive device pivots the platform about a pivot axis oriented substantially orthogonally to a central axis. The attachment point of the energy storage device and the point(s) of the cable drive device to the platform are arranged between the first pivot axis and the front face. The energy storage device pushes against the bottom face of the platform.

    摘要: A controller for an amusement park attraction system includes processing circuitry and memory with instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, are configured to cause the processing circuitry to operate the amusement park attraction system in a primary mode, receive a plurality of operating parameter values of the amusement park attraction system during operation of the amusement park attraction system in the primary mode, compare the plurality of operating parameter values to respective, corresponding threshold ranges of values, determine an operating parameter value of the plurality of operating parameter values is outside of a corresponding threshold range of values in the primary mode, and transition operation of the amusement park attraction system from the primary mode to a secondary mode in response to determining the operating parameter value is outside of the corresponding threshold range of values in the primary mode.

    摘要: A ride system includes a tunnel, a vehicle ride path, a ride vehicle, and a projection system. The tunnel includes a first end and a second end and is curved between the first and second ends. The vehicle ride path extends within the tunnel from an entrance at the first end of the tunnel to an intermediate position within the tunnel. The second end of the tunnel is not visible from the intermediate position. The ride vehicle travels along the vehicle ride path and decelerates as the ride vehicle approaches the intermediate position. The projection system projects images onto one or more walls of the tunnel, such that the images are synchronized with the deceleration of the ride vehicle and a perceived speed of the ride vehicle, as perceived by a guest in the ride vehicle, exceeds an actual speed of the ride vehicle.

    摘要: The invention relates to a hanging chair that contains a frame (2), suspension (50) that may be secured to the frame (2) and a first canvas (70) determining a seat (72) supported by the frame (2), characterised by that the frame (2) contains three ring-shaped frame elements (10, 20, 30), of which—a first and second frame element (10, 20) are secured to each other along a first axis (125) with a first pair of fasteners (123, 124), —the second and a third frame element (20, 30) are secured to each other along a second axis (235) on a side of the second frame element (20) opposite the first axis (125) with a second pair of fasteners (233, 234), and—the first and third frame elements (10, 30) are secured to each other along a third axis (135) on a side of the first frame element (10) opposite the first axis (125) with a third pair of fasteners (133, 134), and with the frame elements (10, 20, 30) secured to each other and in suspended state, the suspension (50) is located outside of the frame (2), above the first frame element (10), while the second pair of fasteners (233, 234) securing the second and third frame elements (20, 30) to each other are located below the first frame element (10), the seat (72) of the first canvas (70) is located outside of the frame (2), outwards from the second frame element (20), and the third frame element (30) delimits a seat opening (33) permitting access to the seat (72). The invention also relates to a virtual reality simulator that contains such a hanging chair.
