Abstract

A multi-track multi- vehicle coaster simulates a popular theme of a competition, struggle or conflict taken from history or fiction. The vehicles optionally interact with each other and with the ride scenery in many different ways and vehicle velocity is altered at different points in the ride using multiple motors and brakes. An interactive queue is provided and allows people in the queue to interact with people on the ride. Energy recycling and computer ride control are also disclosed.
