Abstract
A roller coaster or amusement ride providing a unique free-floating sensation by extending the passenger vehicles out on either side of the central frame structure. The passenger vehicles () are supported between two cushioned cantilevered vehicle support arms {) that pivot while being supported between air bags (or springs. The air pressure in the air bags or the tension in the springs can be adjusted to provide a soft, free-floating sensation to the ride. Additional passenger vehicle motions are achieved by the omni-directional ball-swivel joints () on the ends of the support arms. The off-center location of the passenger vehicles () and the weight of the passengers enable the passenger vehicles to remain in the upright position even when the central frame structure rotates around the track system. No additional drive systems or passenger controls are required on this unique roller coaster ride.
