Abstract

An amusement ride requires the participant to ascend to a platform for the beginning of the amusement ride via a single or a double helix ladder. The participants are tethered for safety. Operators attend the tether lines. The tethers also can run through belays for safety.

Abstract

An amusement ride requires the participant to ascend to a platform for the beginning of the amusement ride via a single or a double helix ladder. The participants are tethered for safety. Operators attend the tether lines. The moving climbing wall surmounts an upper roller and a lower roller. One of the rollers is connected to a power source for movement of the moving climbing wall around the rollers. A controller controls the power source.

Abstract

Disclosed is a vehicle (58) for supporting harnessed riders on a gravity binary track system, and composed of a central element (79) carrying lower rollers (108, 110) to contact a lower line; an upper element (78) hinged to the central element and forming an upper cavity through which a rope can run, and carrying upper rollers (104, 106) located to contact an upper line, the upper cavity having a generally horizontal slot extending to the outside for passing through a continuous belay; and a lower element (80) hinged to the central element and forming a lower cavity through which a rope can run, the lower cavity having a generally horizontal slot extending to the outside for passing through a continuous belay.

Abstract

An amusement ride is formed from a self-equalizing dual line affixed to a pulley at its upper end and to pulley and counterweight system at its lower end. An upper platform at the upper dual line end launches a rider who is connected via a line to a pulley riding on the dual line. A slide is carried by the upper platform from which the rider is launched, resulting in the rider swinging in an arcuate motion about the pulley. A belay, carried by the dual line, is movable to confront the pulley as the rider is carried down the dual lines and to enhance the arcuate swinging of the rider. A lower landing permits the rider to demount the amusement ride.

Abstract

The present invention is related to the field of mechanical engineering and describes an automatically adjustable system of traverse rails with multiple characteristics that extend the useful life of the sustain by a minimum factor of four while providing redundant security backup to the rails allowing human passengers to move from one place to another in and easy and safe manner with a minimum of noise and vibration while providing the owner of the system benefits of lower maintenance cost and less exposure to financial risk. Also the system can be installed in a multitude of natural places without the need to cut or damage the environment. Using the same components this system offers other configuration options to increase the possibilities of installing a system with desirable characteristics over a greater number of inclinations. Combining the various components starting with a smooth rail as in FIG. 1 with the self-equalizing system FIG. 3 for a maximum conservation of energy to maximum breaking rail with the skeleton braid in FIG. 2 with the maximum braking security system of in FIG. 4.
