Abstract: An apparatus and method for creating enhanced articulation in a roller coaster car. The invention involves a single seat roller coaster car having only back track wheel assemblies secured to its chassis. The chassis front end has a coupling arm fixedly secured at one arm end. The other arm end includes a rod end, received within the chassis of a lead car, or another roller coaster car. This lead car, or this other roller "secondary" coaster car, has a receiver to which the coupling arm rod end of the roller coaster car is attached. This coupling configuration, in combination with the omission of any front track wheel assemblies, allows the roller coaster car to articulate through a 360 solid angle in an x-y plane. The rod end/receiver coupling is located underneath the seat of either the lead car or another secondary roller coaster car, thereby forming a "coupling compartment".

Abstract: An apparatus and method for assisting the transfer of a physically-disabled person into or out of an amusement ride. The apparatus and method involve a base portion having an elevated seat and an associated extension. The base portion is mobile and can be positioned adjacent the amusement ride. The extension is then positioned within the amusement ride to provide a smooth platform that permits the passenger to slide from the elevated seat, down the extension and into an open seat in the amusement ride. The process is reversed to permit the passenger egress from the amusement ride. The base portion also includes at least one wheel assembly and feet upon which the base portion rests during use. When necessary to move the base portion, it is tilted onto the wheel assembly from the feet for quick and easy transport. The elevated seat and extension are covered with a comfortable material.
