The compressed air is supplied independently to expand, and the air is independently discharged to the outside to contract. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in each of the actuators 3,...
One contracts and the other expands, thereby keeping the seat 1 horizontal. In the present embodiment, the lower air spring 29 expands and the upper air spring 29 contracts when in the horizontal state, but the reverse is also possible. Then, the upper air springs 29, 29 on the rear left and right actuators 3, 3 are expanded from the horizontal state, and
Lower air springs 29, 29 on front left and right actuators 3, 3
As shown in FIG. 6, the seat portion 1 swings like a seesaw with the spherical joint 4 as a fulcrum, and the front portion is inclined downward as shown in FIG. On the contrary, from the horizontal state, the upper air spring 29,

When the lower air springs 29, 29 are contracted, the rear of the seat portion 1 is inclined downward (as indicated by the phantom line). In addition, from the horizontal state shown in FIG.
If the lower air springs 29, 29 of the front and rear left and right actuators 3, 3 are contracted, the seat 1 swings around the spherical joint 4 as shown in FIG. Is inclined downward. Conversely, (front view)
From the horizontal state, if the upper air springs 29, 29 on the front and rear left actuators 3, 3 are expanded, and the lower air springs 29, 29 on the front and rear right actuators 3, 3 are contracted,
The seat 1 is in a state where the right side is inclined downward (as indicated by a virtual line). As described above, the actuator 3 changes its height in three stages, that is, a state in which all the two air springs 29, 29 are contracted, a state in which only one air spring is expanded, and a state in which all the air springs are expanded. The part 1 can be inclined forward, backward, left and right. Further, by configuring the actuator 3 at the two air springs 29, 29, it is possible to increase the inclination angle θ as compared with the case of one. The track L is formed in an endless shape having a straight line, a curve and a height difference, a platform is provided at a predetermined position, and a braking means for clamping the brake fin 10 of the base 2 is provided at a predetermined position. I do. further,
It is preferable to provide a plurality of attraction zones on the track L so as to develop based on a certain story, and control the seat portion 1 to perform a tilting operation according to the content of the attraction. For example, swing back and forth in settings such as plunging from a flat ground into a cave underground or climbing a slope, or swing left and right in settings such as crossing a slope or setting one of the left and right wheels on a rock. What is necessary is just to program-control the inclination operation | movement of the seat part 1 according to various situation settings. [0019] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, For example, in the form of the implementation, the bogie 7 of the base part 2 has exemplifies the case of constituting the vehicle type traveling on the trajectory L But,
The base 2 may be formed in a canoe shape (or may have wheels), and the track L may be formed in an artificial river so that the base 2 moves along the track L of the river . Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained. [0021] The actuator 3 are two of the air springs 29, 29
, The structure is simple and easy to manufacture, and the height can be changed in three stages, and the seat 1 can be inclined with a relatively large inclination angle θ. Further, the actuator 3 can also serve as a suspension for absorbing a shock when traveling on unevenness of a road surface on the track L. Further , since the seat portion 1 can be swung back and forth and left and right to cope with various attraction setting situations, passengers can more strongly experience fear and thrills. In addition, the passenger can enjoy the feeling of actually moving in the space, and furthermore, the synergistic effect with the tilting operation of the seat portion 1 makes it possible to more realistically experience fear, thrill or exhilaration. it can.
