Abstract
An amusement ride car is disclosed as having a pair of driving propellers mounted at the rear of the car operating in the manner of an air boat. The propellers are driven individually, and each is arranged for forward and reverse directional rotation thereby permitting the forward and reverse movement of the car as well as turning movement thereof when opposite rotation is effected. The car can be supported for near frictional movement upon a riding platform by means of water, caster wheels, or the combination thereof, or by means of air flotation principles. Rotational speed of the propellers, and their direction of rotation, is under control of control devices made available for one of the passengers.
