Abstract
A unique, visually enhancing and exciting entertainment system is obtained by providing an elongated path or track, along which a plurality of objects automatically advance, with the objects constructed to perform independent animated movements in direct synchronization with each other. In addition to the coordinated, synchronized, independent movement of each of the objects as the objects movably advance along the track or pathway, the present invention is also constructed to enable each object to perform a separate and unique activity, completely distinguishable from the normal animated movement being performed by the object as the object moves along the path. In this way, further excitement and visual stimulation is provided and an entertainment system is attained which provides long-term benefits and interest to the viewers.
