Abstract

Fairground rides (10) are known in which the passenger carrier (17) is assigned to the end of an extension arm (14) which can be moved about a horizontal axis of rotation (13). The movement of the passenger carrier substantially corresponds to that of the circular path of the extension, so that only very limited impressions of movement can be given. Provision is made according to the invention for the passenger carrier (17) to be capable of movement on at least one further circular path in the region of the end of the extension arm (14). The passengers are then moved on a cycloidal path. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fahrgeschäft nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an amusement ride according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiges Fahrgeschäft ist bereits aus der DE-C-660 999 bekannt. Beim dem darin genannten Fahrgeschäft handelt es sich um eine Schaukel, die ein um eine waagerechte Achse schwingbares, doppelarmiges Pendel aufweist. An einem Ende des Pendels befindet sich ein Sitzträger, der in einem Ringgehäuse, welches fest mit dem Ende des Pendels verbunden ist, beweglich gelagert ist. Der Sitzträger ist als fahrradähnliches Fahrzeug ausgebildet und vom Schaukelinsassen anzutreiben. Ein ähnliches Fahrgeschäft ist aus der DE-C-660 311 bekannt. Der Antrieb der Schaukel erfolgt hier allerdings durch Verlagerung des Schwerpunkts der Insassen in Umfangsrichtung.Such a ride is already known from DE-C-660 999. The ride mentioned therein is a swing that has a double-arm pendulum that can be swiveled around a horizontal axis. At one end of the pendulum there is a seat support which is movably mounted in an annular housing which is firmly connected to the end of the pendulum. The seat carrier is designed as a bicycle-like vehicle and is driven by the swing occupant. A similar ride is known from DE-C-660 311. The swing is driven here by shifting the center of gravity of the occupants in the circumferential direction.

Die bekannten Fahrgeschäfte weisen gemeinsam den Nachteil auf, daß nur eingeschränkte Bewegungszustände für die Insassen möglich sind, weil die Insassen stets eine senkrechte Position beibehalten.The known rides have the disadvantage in common that only limited movement states are possible for the occupants because the occupants always maintain a vertical position.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Fahrgeschäft zu schaffen, daß vielfältige Bewegungszustände der Fahrgastaufnahme gestattet und für die Fahrgäste neuartige Reizwahrnehmungen ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide an amusement ride that allows a variety of movement states of passenger admission and allows novel sensations for the passengers.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß der Auslegerarm und die oder jede Fahrgastaufnahme separat antreibbar ist bzw. sind, derart, daß die Fahrgastaufnahme im Bereich des Endes des Auslegerarms auf mindestens einer weiteren Kreisbahn antreibbar ist, deren Mittelachse parallel zur Drehachse des Auslegerarms verläuft, zur Bewegung der oder jeder Fahrgastaufnahme auf einer etwa zykloidförmigen Bahn.According to the invention the object is achieved in that the cantilever arm and the or each passenger receptacle can be driven separately such that the passenger receptacle can be driven in the region of the end of the cantilever arm on at least one further circular path, the central axis of which runs parallel to the axis of rotation of the cantilever arm, for moving the or each passenger intake on an approximately cycloidal path.

In spezieller Ausgestaltung ist eine Ringbahn an mindestens einem Ende des Auslegerarms angeordnet. Die Ringbahn bildet dabei eine Fahrbahn für die Fahrgastaufnahme. Auf dieser Ringbahn kann die Fahrgastaufnahme umlaufend entlangfahren und dadurch den Fahrgästen ein zusätzlicher Loopingeffekt (zum Looping auf der Auslegerkreisbahn) geboten werden.In a special embodiment, a ring track is arranged on at least one end of the cantilever arm. The ring track forms a lane for passenger accommodation. The passenger intake can run all the way along this circular track, thereby offering the passengers an additional looping effect (for looping on the cantilever orbit).

Sofern für die bereits erwähnte wie auch eine weitere Zusatzbewegung der Fahrgastaufnahme ein Antriebsaggregat verwendet werden soll, ist es zweckmäßig, die Ringbahn fest mit dem Ende des Auslegerarms zu verbinden. Die Fahrgastaufnahme kann dann mittels des Antriebs leicht entlang der Kreisbahn verfahren werden.If a drive unit is to be used for the already mentioned as well as a further additional movement of the passenger receptacle, it is expedient to connect the ring track firmly to the end of the cantilever arm. The passenger intake can then be easily moved along the circular path by means of the drive.

Mitunter ist es aber auch vorteilhaft, den Antrieb für die erstgenannte Zusatzbewegung der Fahrgastaufnahme dem Auslegerarm zuzuordnen. In diesem Falle ist die Ringbahn zweckmäßigerweise relativbeweglich an dem Auslegerarm angelenkt. Dabei ist die Fahrgastaufnahme mit der Ringbahn so verbunden, daß sie von der somit drehend angetriebenen Ringbahn auf der Kreisbahn mitbewegt wird.Sometimes, however, it is also advantageous to assign the drive for the first-mentioned additional movement of the passenger receptacle to the extension arm. In this case, the ring track is advantageously articulated on the cantilever arm in a relatively movable manner. The passenger intake is connected to the circular path in such a way that it is moved along the circular path by the ring path thus driven in rotation.

Die Bewegungsvielfalt der Fahrgastaufnahme wird gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung noch dadurch erweitert, wenn die Fahrgastaufnahme auch noch um ihre eigene Achse bewegbar ist. Diese Achse ist so angeordnet, daß sie die Drehachse, um die sich die Fahrgastaufnahme auf der Ringbahn bewegt, schneidet. Die Fahrgastaufnahme ist somit auf zwei verschiedenen Kreisbahnen zusätzlich zu der Auslegerkreisbahn und damit in nahezu jeder beliebigen Ebene bewegbar, wobei die Bewegung auf der jeweiligen Kreisbahn in beiden Richtungen und auch unabhängig voneinander erfolgen kann. Hierdurch können vielfältige Bewegungszustände erzeugt werden, deren Steuerung zweckmäßigerweise auf der Basis empirischer Ermittlungen mit dem Ziel erfolgt, die Vergnügungseffekte für den Fahrgast zu optimieren.According to a further embodiment, the variety of movements of the passenger accommodation is further expanded if the passenger accommodation is also movable about its own axis. This axis is arranged in such a way that it defines the axis of rotation around which the passenger accommodation moves on the ring path. cuts. The passenger accommodation can thus be moved on two different circular paths in addition to the cantilever circular path and thus in almost any plane, the movement on the respective circular path being able to take place in both directions and also independently of one another. This enables a variety of movement states to be generated, the control of which is expediently based on empirical determinations with the aim of optimizing the pleasure effects for the passenger.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung und deren Vorteile ergeben sich aus den übrigen Patentansprüchen und der Beschreibung.Further features of the invention and their advantages result from the remaining claims and the description.

Ein Fahrgeschäft 10 (Fig. 1) weist ein Gestell 11 (Fig. 7) auf, das zwischen zwei Lagerböcken 12 einen um eine horizontale Drehachse 13 dreh- bzw. schwenkbeweglichen Auslegerarm 14 mit mindestens einer Fahrgastaufnahme 17 trägt. Die Drehbewegung des Auslegerarms 14 in einer vertikalen Ebene erfolgt mittels eines (nicht dargestellten) Antriebs, der dem Gestell 11 zugeordnet ist. Das Gestell 11 kann sowohl für den stationären als auch mobilen Betrieb des Fahrgeschäfts 10 ausgebildet sein.An amusement ride 10 (FIG. 1) has a frame 11 (FIG. 7) which carries a cantilever arm 14 with at least one passenger receptacle 17 between two bearing blocks 12 which can be rotated or pivoted about a horizontal axis of rotation 13. The rotational movement of the cantilever arm 14 in a vertical plane takes place by means of a drive (not shown) which is assigned to the frame 11. The frame 11 can be designed for both stationary and mobile operation of the ride 10.

Es ist möglich, dem Gestell 11 einen Drehkranz 15 zuzuordnen, so daß das Gestell 11 mit dem Auslegerarm 14 und die Fahrgastaufnahme 17 um eine vertikale Achse 16 drehbar sind.It is possible to assign a turntable 15 to the frame 11, so that the frame 11 with the extension arm 14 and the passenger receptacle 17 can be rotated about a vertical axis 16.

Die Drehachse 13 verläuft etwa mittig durch den Auslegerarm 14. Einem freien Ende des Auslegerarms 14 ist die Fahrgastaufnahme 17 mit einer Mehrzahl von Sitzen 18 zugeordnet. Das andere Ende dagegen trägt in dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 ein Gegengewicht 19, wobei anstelle dessen auch an diesem Ende eine (zweite) Fahrgastaufnahme 17 angeordnet sein kann.The axis of rotation 13 extends approximately centrally through the cantilever arm 14. The passenger receptacle 17 with a plurality of seats 18 is assigned to a free end of the cantilever arm 14. The other end, on the other hand, carries a counterweight 19 in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, a (second) passenger receptacle 17 also being able to be arranged instead at this end.

Die Fahrgastaufnahme 17 ist entlang einer Ringbahn 20 verfahrbar, und zwar an der Innenseite der Ringbahn 20 entlang. Dadurch erhält die Fahrgastaufnahme 17 eine erste Zusatzbewegung zu der des Auslegerarms 14. Diese Zusatzbewegung erfolgt auf einer Kreisbahn um eine weitere Mittelachse 21. Diese Drehbewegung erfolgt am Endbereich des Auslegerarms 14 innerhalb der Ringbahn 20. Dabei verläuft die Mittelachse 21 parallel zu der Drehachse 13 des Auslegerarms 14, wodurch die Fahrgastaufnahme 17 mit den Fahrgästen infolge der Überlagerung der Bewegungen des Auslegerarms 14 mit der ersten Zusatzbewegung eine etwa zykloidförmige Bahn abfährt.The passenger receptacle 17 can be moved along a ring track 20, namely along the inside of the ring track 20. This gives the passenger receptacle 17 a first additional movement to that of the cantilever arm 14. This additional movement takes place on a circular path around a further central axis 21. This rotary movement takes place at the end region of the cantilever arm 14 within the ring path 20. The central axis 21 runs parallel to the axis of rotation 13 of the Cantilever arm 14, whereby the passenger receptacle 17 travels an approximately cycloidal path with the passengers as a result of the superimposition of the movements of the cantilever arm 14 with the first additional movement.

Die Ringbahn 20 ist fest mit dem Ende des Auslegerarms 14 verbunden. Innerhalb der Ringbahn 20 und entlang dieser ist die Fahrgastaufnahme 17 mittels tragender bzw. abstützender Laufrollen 22, 57 verfahrbar gehalten. Der Fahrgastaufnahme 17 ist ein Antriebsaggregat 23 zugeordnet, welches ein Antriebsrad 24 aufweist, das an der inneren Mantelfläche der Ringbahn 20 anliegt und abrollt.The ring track 20 is firmly connected to the end of the cantilever arm 14. Within and along the ring track 20, the passenger receptacle 17 is held so that it can be moved by means of supporting or supporting rollers 22, 57. The passenger receptacle 17 is assigned a drive unit 23 which has a drive wheel 24 which abuts and rolls on the inner circumferential surface of the ring track 20.

Die Laufrollen 22, 57 sind gleichmäßig etwa dreieckförmig auf den Umfang der Ringbahn 20 verteilt. Ein Eckpunkt des Dreiecks wird dabei gebildet durch einen Stützausleger 56 der Fahrgastaufnahme 17, der im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel an seinem freien Ende mehrere Laufrollen 57 trägt. Die übrigen Laufrollen 22 sind zur Bildung zweier weiterer Ecken des Dreiecks an gegenüberliegenden Seiten einer Grundplatte 28 der Fahrgastaufnahme 17 angeordnet. Sie können sowohl an der äußeren als auch inneren Mantelfläche der Ringbahn 20 anliegen oder formschlüssig, gewissermaßen zwangsgeführt in einer nicht dargestellten Führungsnut der Ringbahn 20 gehalten sein. Dadurch bilden die Laufrollen 22 Abstützpunkte der Fahrgastaufnahme 17 an der Ringbahn 20.The rollers 22, 57 are evenly distributed approximately triangularly on the circumference of the ring track 20. A corner point of the triangle is formed by a support arm 56 of the passenger receptacle 17, which in the exemplary embodiment shown carries a plurality of rollers 57 at its free end. The remaining rollers 22 are arranged to form two further corners of the triangle on opposite sides of a base plate 28 of the passenger receptacle 17. They can rest against both the outer and inner circumferential surface of the ring track 20 or can be held in a form-fitting manner, to a certain extent positively guided, in a guide groove (not shown) of the ring track 20. As a result, the rollers 22 form support points of the passenger receptacle 17 on the ring track 20.

Die Ringbahn 20 ist durch zwei parallele Ringe 25 gebildet (Fig. 3 und 4), zwischen denen die Fahrgastaufnahme 17 etwa symmetrisch gehalten ist. Die Ringe 25 bilden dabei Schienen für die Laufrollen 22 der Fahrgastaufnahme 17, die eine (gedachte) Zylindermantelfläche aufspannen, deren Längsmittelachse der Mittelachse 21 der Ringbahn 20 entspricht. Die Fahrgastaufnahme 17 fährt auf der Innenseite der Ringbahn 20 bzw. der gedachten Zylindermantelfläche entlang.The ring track 20 is formed by two parallel rings 25 (FIGS. 3 and 4), between which the passenger receptacle 17 is held approximately symmetrically. The rings 25 form rails for the rollers 22 of the passenger receptacle 17, which span an (imaginary) cylindrical surface, the longitudinal central axis of which corresponds to the central axis 21 of the ring track 20. The passenger receptacle 17 travels along the inside of the ring track 20 or the imaginary cylinder surface.

Bei der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Position des Fahrgeschäfts 10 ist zum einen der Auslegerarm 14 aus seiner zuvor vertikalen Lage verschwenkt und zum anderen auch die Fahrgastaufnahme 17 innerhalb der Ringbahn 20 verfahren. Man erkennt in der Fig. 2, daß die Fahrgastaufnahmen 17 mit den Fahrgästen auf zwei verschiedenen Kreisbahnen unterschiedlichen Durchmessers bewegt werden.In the position of the ride 10 shown in FIG. 2, on the one hand the extension arm 14 is pivoted out of its previously vertical position and on the other hand the passenger receptacle 17 is also moved within the ring track 20. It can be seen in Fig. 2 that the passenger shots 17 with the Passengers are moved on two different circular orbits of different diameters.

Eine weitere bzw. zweite Zusatzbewegung der Fahrgastaufnahme 17 ist dadurch gegeben, daß die Fahrgastaufnahme 17 auch um eine Drehachse 27, quasi der Symmetrieachse der Fahrgastaufnahme 17 selbst, drehbeweglich ist, wozu auch das Antriebsaggregat 23 Verwendung finden kann. Diese Drehbewegung vollführt dabei vorzugsweise nicht die gesamte Fahrgastaufnahme 17, sondern eine die Sitze 18 tragende Grundplatte 28. In jedem Falle sind somit die Fahrgäste in die Bewegung des Auslegerarms 14 wie auch die beiden Zusatzbewegungen der Fahrgastaufnahme 17 einbeziehbar.A further or second additional movement of the passenger receptacle 17 is provided in that the passenger receptacle 17 is also rotatable about an axis of rotation 27, quasi the axis of symmetry of the passenger receptacle 17 itself, for which purpose the drive unit 23 can also be used. This rotary movement preferably does not carry out the entire passenger receptacle 17, but rather a base plate 28 carrying the seats 18. In any case, the passengers can thus be included in the movement of the extension arm 14 as well as the two additional movements of the passenger receptacle 17.

Die Drehachse 27 ist dabei so angeordnet, daß sie die Mittelachse 21, um die sich die Fahrgastaufnahme 17 bei ihrer Bewegung auf der Kreisbahn entlang der Ringbahn 20 bewegt, schneidet, und zwar vorzugsweise rechtwinklig. Dabei sind durch die Bewegung des Auslegerarms 14 und die beiden Zusatzbewegungen die vielfältigsten Bewegungszustände erzielbar.The axis of rotation 27 is arranged so that it intersects the central axis 21 about which the passenger receptacle 17 moves when it moves on the circular path along the ring path 20, preferably at right angles. The most varied movement states can be achieved by the movement of the extension arm 14 and the two additional movements.

In Fig. 5 ist ein Auslegerarm 29 dargestellt, der zum einen außermittig von der Drehachse 13 gehalten ist und zum anderen mit einer besonders dekorativen, sternförmig ausgebildeten Ringbahn 30 versehen ist. Durch ein entsprechendes Gegengewicht 19 ist trotz der außermittigen Anordnung der Drehachse 13 ein Gleichgewicht beider Arme des Auslegerarms 29 gegeben.5 shows a cantilever arm 29 which is held off-center from the axis of rotation 13 on the one hand and is provided with a particularly decorative, star-shaped annular track 30 on the other hand. A corresponding counterweight 19 ensures that both arms of the extension arm 29 are in balance despite the eccentric arrangement of the axis of rotation 13.

Ein alternativ ausgebildetes Fahrgeschäft 31 zeigt die Fig. 6. Es unterscheidet sich von dem zuvor beschriebenen Fahrgeschäft 10 nur durch eine andere Anordnung der Ringbahn 33 am Auslegerarm 34. Die Ringbahn 33 ist relativbeweglich am freien Ende eines Auslegerarms 34 angeordnet. Die Fahrgastaufnahme 32 ist hingegen fest mit der Ringbahn 33 verbunden, so daß sie durch die Ringbahn 33 mitbewegt werden kann. Die Fahrgastaufnahme 32 ist mittels Stützen 35 an der Ringbahn 33 gehalten.An alternative ride 31 is shown in FIG. 6. It differs from the ride 10 described above only in a different arrangement of the ring track 33 on the cantilever arm 34. The ring track 33 is arranged in a relatively movable manner at the free end of a cantilever arm 34. The passenger accommodation 32, however, is firmly connected to the ring track 33 so that it can be moved by the ring track 33. The passenger accommodation 32 is by means of supports 35 on the Ringbahn 33 held.

Für die Drehung der Ringbahn 33 bzw. Fahrgastaufnahme 32 entsprechend der ersten Zusatzbewegung sind dem freien Ende des Auslegerarms 34 drei Laufrollen 37 zugeordnet, von denen zwei an der äußeren und eine mittlere an der inneren Mantelfläche der Ringbahn 33 anliegen bzw. abrollen, wobei mindestens eine dieser Laufrollen 37 angetrieben ist durch ein dem Auslegerarm 34 zugeordnetes (nicht gezeigtes) Antriebsaggregat. Die zweite Zusatzbewegung der Fahrgastaufnahme 32 relativ zur Ringbahn 33 um eine Drehachse 54 erfolgt durch ein der Fahrgastaufnahme 32 zugeordnetes Antriebsaggregat 36.For the rotation of the ring track 33 or passenger receptacle 32 in accordance with the first additional movement, three free rollers 37 are assigned to the free end of the cantilever arm 34, two of which abut or roll on the outer and outer surface of the ring track 33, at least one of which this rollers 37 is driven by a drive unit (not shown) assigned to the extension arm 34. The second additional movement of the passenger receptacle 32 relative to the ring path 33 about an axis of rotation 54 is carried out by a drive unit 36 assigned to the passenger receptacle 32.

Ein weiteres Fahrgeschäft 38 nach der Fig. 7 unterscheidet sich hinsichtlich der beiden Zusatzbewegungen der Fahrgastaufnahme 39 nicht von den zuvor beschriebenen Fahrgastgeschäften 10 und 31. Hierbei ist das Ende des Auslegerarms 40 gabelförmig ausgebildet bzw. mit einer Gabel 41 versehen. Zwischen Gabelschwingen 42 ist die Fahrgastaufnahme 43 um die Drehachse 44, die die Endbereiche der Gabelschwingen 42 verbindet, entsprechend der ersten Zusatzbewegung drehbar.Another ride 38 according to FIG. 7 does not differ in terms of the two additional movements of the passenger receptacle 39 from the passenger shops 10 and 31 described above. The end of the extension arm 40 is fork-shaped or provided with a fork 41. Between fork arms 42, the passenger seat 43 can be rotated about the axis of rotation 44, which connects the end regions of the fork arms 42, in accordance with the first additional movement.

Die Fahrgastaufnahme 43 ist zudem schaukelartig mittels einer Aufhängung 45 an der Drehachse 44 gehalten. Um die Drehachse 44 erfolgt hier die erste Zusatzbewegung der Fahrgastaufnahme 43.The passenger receptacle 43 is also held in a swing-like manner by means of a suspension 45 on the axis of rotation 44. The first additional movement of the passenger receptacle 43 takes place here about the axis of rotation 44.

Die zweite Zusatzbewegung erfolgt, indem die Fahrgastaufnahme 43 bzw. eine Grundplatte 46 derselben um eine Drehachse 47 mittels eines Antriebsaggregats 48 gedreht wird.The second additional movement takes place in that the passenger seat 43 or a base plate 46 thereof is rotated about an axis of rotation 47 by means of a drive unit 48.

Beim Fahrgeschäft 38 kommt eine dritte Zusatzbewegung dadurch zustande, daß die Fahrgastaufnahme 43 mit der Gabel 41 um das Ende des Auslegerarms 40 verdrehbar ist durch ein nicht gezeigtes Antriebsaggregat. Dazu ist die Gabel 41 über einen Drehzapfen 49 im Ende des Auslegerarms 40 drehbar gelagert. Diese Drehbewegung erfolgt um die Längsachse 50 des Auslegerarms 40.A third additional movement occurs in the amusement ride 38 in that the passenger receptacle 43 can be rotated with the fork 41 around the end of the extension arm 40 by a drive unit, not shown. For this purpose, the fork 41 is connected to a pivot 49 in the end of the extension arm 40 rotatably mounted. This rotary movement takes place about the longitudinal axis 50 of the extension arm 40.

Außerdem ist die Gabel 41 auch entlang der Längsachse 50 in der Drehzapfenlagerung verschiebbar, so daß der Durchmesser der Bahn, die die Fahrgastaufnahme 43 auf der Auslegerkreisbahn beschreibt, veränderbar ist.In addition, the fork 41 can also be displaced along the longitudinal axis 50 in the pivot bearing, so that the diameter of the path which describes the passenger receptacle 43 on the cantilever circular path can be changed.

Das Fahrgeschäft 51 (Fig. 8) stimmt hinsichtlich der ersten beiden Zusatzbewegungen mit dem Fahrgeschäft 31 überein. Daneben ist aber auch hier eine dritte Zusatzbewegung vorgesehen, indem das Ende des Auslegerarms 52 die Ringbahn 53 drehbeweglich hält, und zwar etwa analog zur Gabel 41 des zuvor beschriebenen Fahrgeschäfts 38. Außerdem kann auch die Ringbahn 53 mit der hier nicht gezeigten Fahrgastaufnahme auf der Längsachse 55 des Auslegerarms 52 verschieblich sein zur Veränderung des Durchmessers der Auslegerkreisbahn.The ride 51 (FIG. 8) corresponds to the ride 31 with respect to the first two additional movements. In addition, however, a third additional movement is also provided here, in that the end of the cantilever arm 52 rotatably holds the ring track 53, roughly analogously to the fork 41 of the ride 38 described above. In addition, the ring track 53 can also be used on the longitudinal axis with the passenger accommodation not shown here 55 of the cantilever arm 52 can be displaced to change the diameter of the cantilever circular path.

Alle Zusatzbewegungen, und zwar insbesondere um die Drehachsen 13, 27, 44, 47, 54 und die Mittelachse 21, werden durch entsprechende Antriebe, vorzugsweise jeweils eigene (in der Figur zum Teil nicht dargestellte) Antriebsaggregate herbeigeführt. Diese Antriebsaggregate ermöglichen schwerkraftunabhängige Bewegungen der Fahrgäste, wobei durch entsprechende Steuerungen einzelner oder auch mehrerer Antriebsaggregate die Bewegungen auch momentan oder periodisch antriebslos der Schwerkraft folgend ablaufen können.All additional movements, in particular around the axes of rotation 13, 27, 44, 47, 54 and the central axis 21, are brought about by appropriate drives, preferably each with its own drive units (not shown in part in the figure). These drive units enable movements of the passengers that are independent of gravity, whereby the movements can also take place momentarily or periodically without drive following the force of gravity by appropriate controls of individual or also several drive units.

Die einzelnen Bewegungen der Fahrgastaufnahmen, insbesondere die Zusatzbewegungen, können gegebenenfalls von den Fahrgästen in der jeweiligen Fahrgastaufnahme individuell gesteuert werden, wodurch der Fahrreiz nochmals gesteigert wird. Ein besonderer Fahrreiz ergibt sich dann, wenn die Zusatzbewegungen, insbesondere die erste und zweite Zusatzbewegung, in entgegengesetzten Richtungen erfolgen.The individual movements of the passenger recordings, in particular the additional movements, can optionally be individually controlled by the passengers in the respective passenger recording, whereby the driving stimulus is further increased. A particular driving stimulus arises when the additional movements, in particular the first and second additional movements, take place in opposite directions.
