Abstract

The ride is capable of raising a rider to a height of ten meters or more above the ground, and then release the rider to swing. It includes a support structure (412), a support line (416b) secured to the support structure and to a rider.
A launch structure (426) is spaced from the support structure (412) and carries a launch line (424a, 424b) designed to be releasably at-tached to a rider attachment (524b), so as to lift a rider from the ground. When the launch line (424a) is released from the attachment which carries the rider, the rider swings downwardly.
A skysaucer embodiment (524a, 542b) features a conveying vehicle which holds multiple rid-ers and is stopped by wheels (330) on a raised loading platform. In a pendulum damper em-bodiment, a passenger car is supported by a moving pivot point, the horizontal force is re-sisted by a parallelogram assembly supporting a horizontal support platform.
