Abrégé

The present invention relates to a Ferris wheel, comprising two pairs of masts (11, 12, 21, 22), wherein the masts in each pair are hingedly connected to each other and wherein each pair of masts is moveable between a folded position and a stretched position. The Ferris wheel is provided with multiple spokes (10), two spoke rings for mounting the spokes and multiple ring segments for interconnection of the spokes. The Ferris wheel comprises a first shaft (13), which is mounted fixedly on the top of the first pair of masts (11, 12), wherein a first of the two spoke rings is arranged rotatably around the first shaft. The Ferris wheel further comprises a second shaft (23), which is mounted fixedly on the top of the second pair of masts (21, 22), wherein the second spoke ring is arranged rotatably around the second shaft. In use of the Ferris wheel, the second shaft is substantially in line with the first shaft at a distance from the first shaft.

A support construction for a transportable attraction for amusement rides is provided with a base, at least two masts that are moveable between a folded and stretched position, and a main shaft that is intended to be supported by the masts in the stretched position of the masts. Each mast comprises a base mast segment, which is hingedly attached to the base, and a top mast segment, which is hingedly connected with the base mast segment and is attachable to the main shaft. The base comprises at least two trailers and trailer coupling means for coupling the trailers. On each of the trailers a base mast segment of one of the masts is mounted. The support construction further comprises first mast coupling means for the coupling of a first pair of masts in folded position. A method for raising the support construction is set forth.

Abrégé

The invention relates to an attraction (1) for amusement rides, such as a fairground attraction or an amusement park attraction, comprising a mast (10), a base frame (13), which is rotatably attached to the mast and which extends radially from the mast, means for rotating the base frame, a plurality of subframes (20), each comprising a stiff connecting arm to which a gondola with one or more passenger seats is attached. The subframes (20) are circumferentially distributed, each pivotably suspended by means of the connecting arm on the base frame (13), such that the subframes with gondolas swing upon rotation of the base frame under the influence of the centrifugal force. The attraction is further provided with control means for controlling the swing of the subframes with gondolas relative to the base frame, which control means are arranged to move the center of gravity of the subframe (20) relative to the base frame (13).

Abrégé

The present invention relates to an amusement ride (1), such as a fairground attraction or an amusement park attraction. The attraction comprises a main carrier (10) rotatable about a first, substantially vertical axis of rotation (R1), a first drive for rotation of the main carrier about the first axis of rotation, at least one passenger carrier (20) which is rotatable about a second, substantially vertical, rotation axis (R2). The passenger carrier is attached to the main carrier at a distance from the first axis of rotation and has a second drive for rotation of the passenger carrier about the second axis of rotation. The passenger carrier is provided with one or more passenger carrier arms with a seat carrier (30) with one or more seats. Each seat carrier is rotatable about a third axis of rotation (R3), which is at an angle of substantially 30 to 70 degrees with respect to the second axis of rotation.
