Description

The invention relates to the field of construction and operation of entertainment complexes: aquariums, aquariums, cognitive-type terrariums, is intended for use both as a separately located attraction complex and in leisure parks as part of other attractions. It can be made in the form of underground and elevated structures.

A well-known educational entertainment attraction for astronomical observation, including a system of transparent dome-type structures equipped with walkways for people and simulators of natural and astronomical phenomena (RF patent 2183490, class A 63 G 31/00, 2000). This complex cannot be used to study the flora and fauna of the underwater world and reptiles, leading an underwater surface life, because not equipped with special devices for filling with liquid and creating a certain microclimate.

A well-known aquarium is of an entertaining type, equipped with primary and secondary water tanks equipped with devices for creating a difference in the level of the water surface (RF patent, No. 2218760, class A 01 K 63/00, 2002). Such an aquarium can be used only for outdoor observations and does not contain passages for moving a person inside the tanks.

The closest analogue to the claimed invention is an educational and entertainment attraction, including a system of connected containers having a transparent passage located inside the containers and equipped with devices for regulating the pressure inside them (patent EP 0421073, class A 01 K 63/00, 1990) . This complex is a system of transparent containers filled with water and equipped with transparent arched passages for humans, while pressure control devices create the differences in liquid height necessary for clarity in interconnected rooms.

The disadvantage of this complex is the limited entertainment and educational devices, because in any case, a person who enters the aisle has to come into contact with the liquid, which not only reduces the cognitive and entertainment capabilities of the complex, but can also pose a danger to human health.

The claimed invention is aimed at solving the problem of creating an educational and entertaining attraction that combines many entertaining, educational programs and opportunities, while ensuring human safety.

The task is achieved in that in the educational and entertainment attraction, which includes a system of containers having a transparent passage located inside the containers and equipped with devices for regulating the pressure inside them, and the passage is equipped with at least two branches equipped with special decks, one of which is equipped with a railing, part of the decking is made in the form of a transparent floor, and the other part is made in the form of a swinging floor with the possibility of vertical and horizontal movement of its individual zones, and th branch is designed as a special transparent chamber floor which is equipped with a drive pad seats and simulated sea pitching, and the camera is provided with means to simulate the odor, sea and air sound stream, wherein for transparent chamber walls moves panorama environment. Passages are made with the possibility of interconnection. Some transparent containers can be equipped with terrarium type support systems. The environment is made with imitation drawings of either terrestrial or underwater terrain.

The invention is illustrated by drawings.

Figure 1 shows a training and entertainment attraction, a plan view; figure 2 is the same, a section aa in figure 1; figure 3 is a section bB in figure 1; figure 4 - view In figure 1.

The educational and entertainment attraction includes several tanks 1 with a domed ceiling 2. Each tank has passages 3 for the movement of people, made of transparent material and interconnected. Each passage 3 is equipped with floorings having a special design and its own functional purpose. Flooring 4 is made in the form of a transparent floor, mounted on racks 5. In this part 6, the passage can be filled with water with marine or river flora and fauna under the transparent floor, or terrarium flora and fauna. The domed ceiling 2 is equipped with devices 7 for regulating the pressure inside the tanks 1. The outer walls 8 of the tanks 1 and the domed ceiling 2 can be made of transparent or opaque material as necessary. For example, ceiling 2 may be transparent for natural lighting, and walls 8 may be opaque. If the tanks 1 are located on the surface of the earth, then walls 8 can be made transparent, which will create an additional aquarium effect for viewers outside. If floor 9 is significantly below ground level, then walls 8 and ceiling 2 are made opaque. All tanks 1 are equipped with additional artificial lighting (not shown).

One of the containers 1 is made in the form of a side branch 10 with a passage 11, the flooring of which is a swinging floor. It can be made of a set of platforms 12 mounted on the rods of hydraulic cylinders 13, the movement of which is synchronized with each other. Lateral branch 10 can be made in the form of a terrarium, simulating movement along a mountain suspension path among reptiles.

The flooring 4 of the passage 3 is connected with a special chamber 14 via steps 15. The chamber 14 is equipped with a platform 16, made in the form of the deck of a boat or ship, or sailboat. The platform 16 is connected through racks 17, spherical hinges 18 and supports 19 to a drive device (not shown) to create a swing effect of the deck. Platform 16 has seats 20, means 21 for simulating sea odors and sounds, and a ventilation device 22 for simulating gusts of wind.

Educational and entertainment attraction is used as follows.

A person entering passage 3 can observe the life of flora and fauna in aquariums and terrariums through the transparent walls of passage 3 and through transparent flooring 4. If a visitor to an attraction enters passage 11 of a lateral branch 10, he can get the feeling of movement along a suspension bridge through a gorge. This effect is achieved by selecting the appropriate modes of the drive device of the swinging floor. For example, using the hydraulic cylinder system 13.

The visitor can go up the steps 15 to the chamber 14, enter the “deck of the ship” - platform 16, sit on the seats 20. A special drive mechanism will create a swing deck mode, the device 22 simulates wind gusts at given moments. In this case, the effect of reality is enhanced by smells, for example, of the sea and the corresponding sounds. The height of the deck - platform 16 relative to the liquid level in the tank 1 can be adjusted so as to create a feeling of diving and immersion in water. Chamber 14 can be filled with water reaching the “deck” - platform 16, which will enhance the effect of sailing on a water vessel. If necessary, the passage 11 can also be partially filled with water, so that the swinging floor creates a hazard effect when abruptly lowering.

During the operation of the claimed invention, installation, dismantling and rearrangement of flooring, attractions in the aisles of other containers, which are used to demonstrate a wide variety of flora and fauna, is possible. Equipping the complex with additional tanks and walkways increases the educational and entertainment opportunities of the attraction.
