A movable sub-assembly () for accommodating and conveying at least one passenger, comprising a support (), a cabin () and a guide () for rotationally guiding the cabin () relative to the support () about a reference axis () common to the support () and to the cabin (), the reference axis () being horizontal when the movable sub-assembly () is in an operational state. The movable sub-assembly () is equipped with a stabilization system () comprising at least one toothed ring () rigidly connected to the support () and centered on the reference axis (), at least one first gear () supported by the cabin () so as to mesh with the toothed ring (), and drive means () capable of driving the first gear (). The first gear () is supported by the cabin () so as to mesh with a zone of the toothed ring () that is located above the first gear ().

Movable sub-assembly for accommodating and conveying at least one passenger and associated attraction installation

A mobile unit for transportation of at least one passenger comprises a car accommodating this passenger and an assembly device for fitting this car on a mobile support in rotary manner with respect to a substantially horizontal axis of rotation. The assembly device comprises a single first crown rigidly secured to the car and assembled by a bearing to a second crown performing securing to the mobile support.

Mobile unit and installation for transportation of at least one passenger

A motorized driving device drives the counterweight between balancing positions for balancing the cabin around a predetermined angular orientation of the cabin relative to the horizontal, by gravity of the whole formed by the cabin together with a possible load in this cabin.
