Abstract

FIELD: entertaining industry.

SUBSTANCE: according to one version, attraction has cabin movable along guides and equipped with movable wall which is opened at desirable times during movement of car. According to other version, attraction has virtual reality means whose operation is coordinated with character of movement of passenger seat and with character of passenger's response.

EFFECT: increased entertaining effect by creating of simulating attractions and also attractions such as free fall tower and switchback.

Description

The invention relates to the entertainment industry.

Known attraction containing guides and a passenger carriage moving along them (see US patent No. 6179619, from 30.01.2001).

A distinctive feature of the famous attraction is the creation of an entertaining effect based on the perception of visual information generated by a certain algorithm, depending on the position of the passenger.

The specified information is created through the use of virtual reality tools, which are quite complex and expensive and therefore can not always find application in entertainment areas.

The technical result, which all three options of the attraction are aimed at, is to create attractions that combine the qualities of simulators and attractions such as a free fall tower and a rolling mountain. Each of the proposed attractions expands the arsenal of existing similar attractions (see the closest analogue).

The technical result in the invention according to the first embodiment is achieved in that the passenger carriage moving along the rails is made with a cabin having walls that are impervious to light, at least one of which is movable or with a movable part to open the cabin during its movement.

A movable wall or a movable wall element can be formed entrance and exit for passengers, and their opening is synchronized with the nature of the movement of passenger seats.

According to a second embodiment of the invention, the passenger carriage moving along the rails is made with a cabin having walls that are impervious to light and with projection means of the image, the change of which can be synchronized with the nature of the movement of passengers.

In both variants of the invention, passenger seats can be installed in the cabin movably (with the possibility of movement).

To achieve a technical result in the third embodiment of the invention, in an attraction containing a passenger carriage moving along the guides with a device having individual means for passengers creating virtual reality, the change of the latter is synchronized with the nature of the movement of the passenger seat fixed to the carriage with the possibility of movement.

The movement of the passenger seat can be carried out according to a predetermined program, and the device for creating virtual reality may contain a sensor that detects the nature of the passenger’s reaction and the input is connected to the virtual reality control unit.

Individual means can be made in the form of a helmet or glasses.

In each of the options, the guides can be directed upward or have a spatial configuration.

Design and functional features of the inventions on the example of free fall towers are as follows.

The attraction, like any free fall tower, has upward guides and a passenger carriage.

In the first and second versions, passenger trolleys are made in the form of closed cabins with walls that are impervious to light.

In the first version of the attraction, the wall or part of the wall is movable, i.e. provides opening and closing of the cabin during movement and / or stop.

The moment of opening the cabin is unexpected for passengers, for example, "opening above the abyss", which leads to a change in the emotional state of passengers. The degree of change in the emotional state can be enhanced by the movement of passenger seats in the cabin simultaneously with the opening and closing of the wall.

The movement of passenger seats can be carried out regardless of the opening-closing of the wall, and also at the same time according to a certain program that takes into account the height of the tower, the dimensions of the cart, design features of the attraction, etc.

Through the opening wall, passengers can enter and exit the cabin.

A distinctive feature of the second version of the attraction is the location in the cockpit of a screen on which the corresponding images are projected simultaneously with the movement of the trolley and passenger seats in the trolley.

The second invention implements the principle of a simulator with the actual movement of a passenger carriage.

The third version of the attraction contains open cabins with movable passenger seats and individual means of projecting virtual reality in the form of a helmet or glasses.

The nature of the change in virtual reality, as in the second version, depends on the nature of the movement of the passenger carriage and passengers on it.

The nature of the movement of the passenger carriage can be set programmatically and depends on the same parameters that are given earlier.

The change in virtual reality may also depend on the nature of the reaction of passengers, i.e. for nearby passengers, virtual reality may be different.

In the third version of the attraction, the principle of a simulator in a really moving object is also used.

As a guiding path, the path of a catalan mountain, i.e. inventions can be used as part of a catalan mountain.

Attraction options will significantly expand the arsenal of entertainment using a moving passenger trolley. Depending on the allocated funds, designers and park owners will significantly increase the possibility of manning parks with various attractions.
