Abstract: A ride system (10) includes a platform assembly (32) that receives a ride vehicle (20) for transporting a ride passenger (22), an upward drive pulley system (36), and a downward drive pulley system (38). The upward drive pulley system (36) is drivingly coupled to the platform assembly (32) and upwardly drives motion of the platform assembly (32) along a vertical axis (94) oriented along a gravity vector. The downward drive pulley system (38) is drivingly coupled to the platform assembly (32) and downwardly drives motion of the platform assembly (32) along the vertical axis (94). Additionally, upwardly and downwardly driving motion of the platform assembly (32) exposes the ride passenger (22) to a plurality of entertainment shows (40), and the entertainment shows (40) are positioned on a different vertical level with respect to one another.

Abstract: A ride system (10) to control ride vehicle motion includes a carriage (24) that receives and secures a ride vehicle (20). The ride system (10) also includes a plurality of pulley systems (34) drivingly coupled to the carriage (24). Each pulley system of the plurality of pulley systems (34) include a pulley, a pulley cable (38) engaged with the pulley and attached to a portion of the carriage (24), and a motor (36) drivingly coupled to the pulley to drive pulley motion and pulley cable motion, and thereby cause the portion of the carriage (24) to displace in accordance with the pulley motion and the pulley cable motion.

Abstract: An amusement park ride vehicle includes a chassis, a cabin, a slider, and a rotator. The chassis is configured to direct the ride vehicle along a ride path in a direction of travel. The cabin is configured to hold one or more passengers. The slider is configured to translate between a neutral position and a cantilevered position relative to the chassis in a direction substantially transverse to the direction of travel and to carry the rotator and the cabin along the direction substantially transverse to the direction of travel. The rotator is coupled between the slider and the cabin, and is configured to rotate the cabin relative to the slider.
