Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an amusement device and in particular a roller coaster according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • roller coaster that gives passengers a new, exciting ride and, moreover, technical and economic advantages in the operation and the Manufacture of the device supplies.
  • a roller coaster is to be provided, the requires a smaller overall space requirement and a rational drive technology for the Vehicles allowed.
  • roller coasters are designed so that a self-contained track available is where the passengers in a ground-floor station in and out of the vehicles get out.
  • the vehicles are transported by means of a transport device via an inclined ramp transported up to then the rest of the driveway with Steep descents, curves, loops and the like to cover only due to gravity.
  • the inventive Amusement device on an access section which, at least partially substantially vertical, but the passengers are not parallel as in an elevator or lift are arranged to the transport direction, but perpendicular to the track.
  • the passengers in the vertical access section with the back on the seat back conveyed what additional a special driving experience mediates and enhances the appeal of the amusement device.
  • This can be further enhanced be that the access section is partially overhanging, d. h. that that Vehicle with passengers slightly overhanging towards the overhead position goes up.
  • the access section Due to the vertical formation of the access section is achieved that the large Space required for sloping ramps is greatly reduced. On In this way it is possible to have a corresponding amusement device with a constant track length and correspondingly about the same length of travel on a much smaller area to provide what high rents for transportable roller coasters at folk festivals and fairs or the land prices for stationary amusement parks due to the small footprint a much more economical operation allows. This is further enhanced by the fact that according to the invention the access section is curved at its upper end so that the vehicles the Auffahrtsabrough tilting away to the rear, so leave in an over-head position.
  • the access section Due to the vertical orientation of the access section, it is also possible a variety of new To use drive techniques from the elevator or lift area and in particular in the Driveway of vehicles use counterweights that move down to the Reduce load on the drive. Of course, however, are also conventional Drives, such as a circulating chain drive or chain hoist possible. It is essential according to a first aspect, that the drive over preferably an entire access length is controlled, so the speed is precisely adjustable or controllable or regulated. In this way, the exit speed important for over-head exit of the driveway precisely adjustable or changeable according to defined specifications.
  • the device according to the invention for both conventional vehicles that are horizontal Drive above the driveway, so also for so-called. Inverted vehicles, the vehicle can when exiting the access section overhead either on the inside of the curved Or on the outside of the curved track.
  • the access section and adjoining the access section form Departure together a looping, so that by returning the Driveway in the direction of the access section of the space requirement for the amusement device is greatly reduced, while a great driving pleasure just by the leadership of the Driveway is guaranteed in a looping.
  • Vertical access section and departure section go here continuously into each other, without that a switch or another device for the implementation of the vehicle would require.
  • An essential In fact, the aspect is the effective and economical operation of the vehicle can move continuously from the access section directly into the departure area.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a part of a travel path 1 of a roller coaster shown.
  • a nearly vertical, slightly overhanging inclined driveway 2 provided, the vehicles as in the lower part of the figure it can be seen, conventional vehicles (not shown), ie in the Horizontal, the vehicles are located above the track.
  • conventional vehicles not shown
  • the vehicles are in driveway 2 right off the driveway 1, leaving them at the end of the driveway section be turned in the curvature 5 upside down.
  • the track 1 is continuously in the exit 3 via, with access section 2 and Departure 3 train a kind of looping.
  • the drive in the form of a chain elevator is here, for example, from the entrance (point E) or the Horizontal to the exit (point A) or reversal point of the access curvature at 4, e.g. the endless chain runs below or on the rail track.
  • FIG. 2 A similar embodiment of a part of a travel path 1 of a roller coaster is shown in FIG. 2 shown, wherein this embodiment differs from that in Fig. 1 only by that the departure 3 is shaped differently.
  • the looping, which through the access section 2 and the departure 3 is formed together is in the embodiment Fig. 2 designed slightly wider, with a straight at the top of the exit 3 Sloping is provided, the first in the middle or lower area of the exit 3 in a Curvature passes.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment is shown, which is similar to those of Fig. 1 and 2 is.
  • the embodiment of FIG. 3 differs from FIGS. 1 and 2 only in that by the exit 3 with respect to the access section 2 no looping is formed, but the departure 3 is substantially straight obliquely down, wherein along the guideway axis at 6 is a twist of the guideway, so that the Passengers approximately in the middle of the exit 3 from the overhead position to the normal Driving position to be transferred.
  • the subsection of the travel path 1, the in Fig. 4 for a further variant of a roller coaster is similar to the embodiment of FIG. 3. It differs only in that that the access section 2 not only by substantially two areas, namely a long straight nearly vertical section 7 and a curved section 5 at the end of the access section 2, but by substantially three Areas.
  • a curvature 5 provided so that in normal orientation on the track 1 is moving Vehicles (ie in the horizontal above the track, in contrast to inverted vehicles, which are located in the horizontal below the vehicle) over the head from the Access section 2 are moved to the departure section 3.
  • a nearly vertical access area 7 is provided which extends is located in a central region of the access section 2.
  • an overhanging area 8 is provided, in which the travel path 1 from the vertical is inclined, so that passengers are already inclined towards an overhead position are, so are in a kind of overhang.
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a partial view of another embodiment a roller coaster according to the invention shown, in which the access section 2 essentially again from a lower vertical area and a curved one upper area 5 and a lower entrance curvature 12 consists.
  • the departure section 3 is different from those in the preceding Embodiments formed.
  • the departure section 3 winds namely spiral around the vertical part 7 of the access section 2 and thereby forms a helix out.
  • This is a particularly space-saving variant, as both driveway and downhill can be arranged on a very small footprint without changing the length of the Driveway and driving pleasure would have to be restricted too much.
  • FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of an overall view of a device according to the invention Roller coaster 13, in which a driveway section 2 with a vertical part 7 and a curved portion 5 is provided so that the vehicles the access section 2 over head, so turned upside down, left.
  • the roller coaster 13 of FIG. 6 also has a high station 10, which is not in the area of the lowest point of the roller coaster but at a medium altitude. From this station 10 are the vehicles via the access section 2 up to the highest point of the roller coaster at 4, in which the connection between the access section 2 and departure section 3rd is.
  • FIG. 7 shows in a detail view of FIG. 6 the exit of a conventional roller coaster vehicle, which is located in the horizontal above the track at the Exit from the access section 2 or the entrance to the departure section 3.
  • the vehicle 11 leaves the access section 2 overhead, so that the passengers, having been lying at the driveway with their backs on the seat backs have been moved upward, tilting the vertical tilting backwards. This creates a particularly exciting driving experience as passengers can recognize that it will soon go downhill, but the track by Nachhintenkippen can not see.
