Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an amusement ride, in particular a roller coaster.
  • Roller coasters in particular, which have closed guideways with elevations, depressions and loops, through which a number of vehicles sometimes travel at very high speed, enjoy particular popularity.
  • the attractiveness of rides and roller coasters in particular also depends, among other things, on the surprising movements the vehicles can make when driving through the guideway.
  • the surprise effect wears off.
  • the ride concerned has to be converted or a completely new ride purchased in order to provide new surprise effects and thus maintain its attractiveness.
  • this results in high investment costs, which are particularly difficult or impossible to bear for smaller amusement parks, so that they run the risk of losing economic access to larger amusement parks.
  • DE 102 45 147 A1 teaches a vehicle for an amusement ride having a platform with a chassis.
  • the platform is configured to accommodate various people receiving arrangements.
  • WO 2007/050545 A2 discloses a roller coaster having a plurality of guideways between which vehicles can switch.
  • the object of an embodiment of the present invention is therefore to provide an amusement ride, and in particular a roller coaster, which makes it possible to maintain and / or increase the attractiveness over a longer operating time with relatively low investment costs.
  • One embodiment of the invention relates to an amusement ride, in particular a roller coaster, comprising a guideway, a number of first vehicles movable along the guideway with a first person receiving arrangement, a number of second vehicles movable along the guideway with a second person receiving arrangement, which differs from the first person receiving arrangement distinguishes between a coupling device with which the first vehicles and / or the second vehicles can be coupled into the guideway, and a launch section with which the first and second vehicles coupled into the guideway can be accelerated.
  • a roller coaster track defines a closed route so that the vehicles return to the starting point after a certain travel time.
  • the vehicles have roll-off devices which interact with the guideway in such a way that the vehicles always remain connected to the guideway even at high speeds, tight bends and loops.
  • a person receiving arrangement should be understood to mean all components that are necessary for positioning and securing people in the vehicle, for example seats and safety brackets.
  • a coupling device is to be understood as a device with which a vehicle can be removed from the guideway and fed back to it.
  • the coupling device can have a switch or be formed by a switch via which the vehicle can be moved from the guide track to a secondary track, which is particularly useful when people get on and off. But for repairs, too, it is advisable to remove the vehicle in question from the guideway and to smuggle it back in again after the repair has been completed. In both cases, the vehicle in question does not obstruct the guideway, so that driving can continue.
  • the vehicles themselves usually do not have their own drive device, but are dragged, for example by means of a cable pull, to a height at which their potential energy is sufficient to be able to drive the rest of the route without further active acceleration.
  • the course of the guideways is specified to the extent that the highest point of the guideway follows directly after the start.
  • the amusement ride and in particular the roller coaster has a launch section, which is to be understood as an acceleration section which represents part of the guideway and within which the vehicles are accelerated by means of a drive device to a speed at which the kinetic energy of the vehicles is sufficient to be able to drive either the entire route or at least until the next launch section without additional active acceleration.
  • Active acceleration is to be understood as an acceleration by means of a drive device will. The acceleration of vehicles when driving down slopes as a result of the downhill force acting on the vehicles should not count as active acceleration.
  • the drive device of the launch section can have hydraulic motors, a hydraulic fluid being conveyed into storage containers via pumps. Nitrogen is strongly compressed in further pressure vessels, so that the necessary energy can be stored relatively slowly and evenly. When starting, the compressed gas pushes the hydraulic oil out of the reservoir through lines onto the hydraulic motors arranged in a circle. The vehicles or caddies that can be coupled to the vehicle are attracted by a steel cable and thus accelerated.
  • a pneumatic cylinder through which the steel cable also runs, runs next to the launch section.
  • a slide in the pneumatic cylinder is attached to the steel cable opposite the caddy. Due to a sudden increase in pressure on one side of the slide it is moved in the opposite direction and thus drives the train.
  • An essential core of the present invention is that at least two vehicles are used which have two different person receiving arrangements, different driving experiences can be provided in the same ride and in particular on the same roller coaster. This is based on the knowledge that driving through the same guideway is perceived differently by the people traveling with them if they are positioned and secured in different ways on the vehicle and they have a different orientation to the guideway. This results in the advantage for the operator of the ride and in particular the roller coaster that at least two different driving experiences can be provided on the same roller coaster, which would otherwise only be possible with one or more complete additional roller coasters. It is also possible to retrofit existing roller coasters with comparatively low investment costs.
  • a new vehicle with a newly designed passenger accommodation arrangement which provides a driving experience not yet offered, can replace an old vehicle.
  • a new roller coaster is not necessary.
  • the first vehicle and the second vehicle can be coupled into the guideway in a simple manner without the need for a large amount of time.
  • people can get into the decoupled vehicles and leave them while the coupled vehicles drive through the guideway.
  • a fully loaded vehicle is already ready when the coupled vehicle ends its journey. The throughput of people can thereby be increased and the ride or roller coaster can be operated more economically.
  • the amusement ride has a first and a second vehicle that have two different people-receiving arrangements, a person must drive the amusement ride at least twice in order to be able to experience both driving experiences at least once. This increases the attractiveness of the ride and makes it more economical to operate.
  • the first person receiving arrangement is designed in a row and the second person receiving arrangement is circular.
  • a row-shaped person accommodation arrangement is to be understood as a person accommodation arrangement in which the people are accommodated in rows one behind the other in the vehicles, as is customary, for example, in aircraft and in large areas of trains.
  • the persons are accommodated in the vehicles in such a way that they are oriented either approximately towards a common center, away from the center or tangentially to the center.
  • the person receiving arrangement can also be oval, elliptical or polygonal.
  • roller coaster Due to the different design of the person receiving arrangements, different driving experiences can be provided on the same roller coaster in a technically simple manner and thus with low investment costs. There is no need to build one or more new roller coasters.
  • the second person accommodation arrangement has at least one degree of freedom more or a different degree of freedom with regard to mobility than the first person accommodation arrangement or vice versa.
  • the second person receiving arrangement can, for example, be designed to be rotatable, pivotable or tiltable, while the first person receiving arrangement does not have this mobility.
  • the degree of freedom can be the same for both person receiving arrangements, but refer to a different spatial axis.
  • the first person receiving arrangement can be rotatable about an axis of rotation running perpendicular to the first vehicle, while the second person receiving arrangement can be rotated about an axis of rotation running parallel to the second vehicle.
  • the second person receiving arrangement can have a number of rotatably mounted plates or disks.
  • the circularly designed people receiving arrangement it is advisable to provide rotatably mounted plates with which the people can be rotated about an axis of rotation while driving. This makes it possible to provide a further driving experience that is not offered on the other vehicle, which in turn increases the attractiveness of the roller coaster.
  • the first person reception arrangement can have a number of seats for seated reception of persons and the second person reception arrangement a number of personal security pillars for standing persons or vice versa. While it is common for most roller coasters to take a seated person, standing up is an exception. However, whether the roller coaster is driven through standing or sitting is of considerable importance for the particular driving experience. The respective driving experiences give way thus very clearly from each other, without major technical changes and consequently major investments in the roller coaster being necessary.
  • the first person receiving arrangement has a number of seats for seated reception of people and the second person reception arrangement has a number of seats for seated reception of people, the seats of the first person reception arrangement having a different orientation than the seats of the second person reception arrangement.
  • some of the seats may face the front end of the vehicle in question, while the remaining seats may face the rear end, which is not the case in the other vehicle. Aligning some or all of the seats towards the lateral ends of the vehicle in question is also conceivable, which is not the case in the other vehicle.
  • the respective driving experiences differ significantly from each other without major technical changes and consequently major investments in the ride being necessary.
  • the coupled first and second vehicles can be braked by means of the launch section.
  • the launch section has a linear induction motor or a linear synchronous motor
  • the launch section can be used both for acceleration and for braking, so that a separate braking mechanism is not necessary. This keeps the investment costs low.
  • the launch section extends over a front end and a rear end of the coupling device.
  • the definition the front end and the rear end should be based on the direction of travel of the vehicles usually used. As a result, the vehicles are accelerated over the front end of the coupling device.
  • the launch section also extends over the rear end of the coupling device, it is possible to brake and stop the vehicles before they reach the coupling device. On the one hand, this can be advantageous for safety reasons, on the other hand, delays in the operational sequence can be compensated for, for which the braked vehicle can wait in front of the coupling device until it is released.
  • the distance available for both acceleration and braking is lengthened. This makes it possible, for example, to initially move a vehicle slowly backwards over the rear end of the coupling device in order to then accelerate the vehicle in question over a correspondingly longer distance in the direction of travel. This can be particularly useful if the vehicle in question is particularly heavy. The same applies to the deceleration, so that a vehicle is braked by driving through the front end of the coupling device and, after it has come to a standstill on the launching section, is slowly driven backwards into the coupling device. This makes it possible to reduce the forces acting on people during acceleration and deceleration.
  • a further developed embodiment is characterized in that the roller coaster comprises detection means with which it can be detected whether a first vehicle or a second vehicle Vehicle is coupled into the guideway. Only when it has been ensured that a vehicle is coupled into the guideway can the launch section be activated. Depending on whether a first vehicle or a second vehicle is coupled into the guideway, it may be desirable or even necessary to accelerate the vehicle in question more or less. Depending on the design of the people receiving arrangement, the forces acting on the people may have to be limited, which can be achieved in particular by driving through the guide track at a lower speed. In addition, the differently configured people receiving arrangements can lead to a different weight of the respective vehicles, which can or must also be taken into account during acceleration. With the aid of the detection means, it is possible to clearly determine which vehicle is currently coupled into the guideway.
  • the detection means can be connected to a control unit on which the acceleration profile provided for the respective vehicle is stored, so that it is ensured that the provided acceleration profile is always used.
  • FIG 1 is an embodiment of an inventive, designed as a roller coaster 10 ride 10 based on a basic plan view.
  • the roller coaster 10 comprises a guideway 12 which defines a closed travel route and which comprises a number of curves, ascents, descents, loops and other direction-changing areas.
  • a first vehicle 16 and a second vehicle 18 can be coupled into the guide track 12 by means of a coupling device 14. Inside the coupling device 14, the first vehicle 16 is on a first guide track section 20 and the second vehicle 18 is on a second guide track section 22.
  • the first guide track section 20 and the second guide track section 22 can be moved within the coupling device 14 along the directions marked with the arrow P1 thus laterally introduced into the rest of the guideway 12.
  • the first or the second vehicle 18 are then coupled into the guide track 12 when the first guide track section 20 or the second guide track section 22 are flush with the rest of the guide track 12.
  • the coupling device 14 can also comprise switches, in particular rotating or drop switches, in order to remove the first and second vehicles 16, 18 from the guideway and to feed them back to it.

  • the roller coaster 10 comprises a launch section 28 which extends both over a front end 30 of the coupling device 14 and over a rear end 32 of the coupling device 14.
  • the definition of the front and rear ends 30, 32 of the coupling device 14 is based on the direction of travel in which the first and second vehicles 18 are usually moved and which is shown with the arrow P2.
  • the launch section 28 serves to accelerate the first vehicle 18 and the second vehicle 20, for which purpose the launch section 28 has a linear induction motor (not shown) or a linear synchronous motor.
  • the launch section 28 also serves to brake the first and second vehicle 18s, but this does not necessarily have to be the case.
  • the roller coaster 10 is operated in the following manner: With the aid of the coupling device 14, either the first vehicle 16 or the second vehicle 18 is coupled into the guideway 12. The vehicle is then accelerated with the aid of the launch section 28 to a speed at which the first vehicle 16 has a sufficiently high kinetic energy to move around the entire guideway 12 without a to be able to drive through further active acceleration.
  • the first vehicle 16 starting from the in Figure 1 The position shown can be accelerated directly over the front end 30 of the coupling device 14 in the direction of travel or initially slowly moved backwards over the rear end 32 of the coupling device 14 and then accelerated over the front end 30 in the direction of travel.
  • the second vehicle 18 can be loaded and unloaded. In other words, the people can get out of the second vehicle 18 after their journey has ended and people waiting who have their journey ahead of them can get into the second vehicle 18.
  • the braking can take place in such a way that the first vehicle 16 is directly in the in Figure 1 The position shown comes to a standstill without having crossed the front end 30 of the coupling device 14. Alternatively, however, the braking can be carried out in such a way that the first vehicle 16 only comes to a stop after crossing the front end 30, but within the launch section 28. It is then then slowly reversed until the first vehicle 16 reaches the in Figure 1 has reached the position shown.
  • the first guideway section 20, and consequently the first vehicle 16 is then based on the in Figure 1
  • the selected representation is moved to the right within the coupling device 14 and is consequently decoupled from the guide track 12, which is symbolized by the dashed representation is.
  • the second guide track section 22 with the second vehicle 18 is also moved to the right within the coupling device 14 until the second guide track section 22 is aligned with the rest of the guide track 12.
  • the second vehicle 18 is then moved along the guideway 12 in the same way as has been described for the first vehicle 16.
  • the roller coaster 10 comprises detection means 34 with which it can be determined whether one of the vehicles 16, 18 is coupled into the guideway 12 and thus the launch section 28 can be activated.
  • the detection means 34 can determine whether the first vehicle 18 or the second vehicle 20 is coupled into the guideway 12.
