Abstract

An amusement ride installation has at least one passenger carrier adapted for supporting one or more passengers, and a launch system for launching the at least one passenger carrier. The launch system has a launch guide structure supporting and guiding the at least one passenger carrier to be launched along a launch path, a drive means providing a variable drive speed, and drive means-carrier connection means, including at least one mechanical connecting member, e.g. a cable, providing a temporary mechanical connection between the drive means and the at least one passenger carrier to be launched. The launch system is adapted to accelerate said at least one passenger carrier from a starting position along said launch path until at least a predetermined terminal launch speed has been reached by said at least one passenger carrier, where after said passenger carrier is disconnected from said connecting member and said at least one passenger carrier travels further along the amusement ride path.
