  • the tilting/pivoting sequence may be repeated any number of times, or alternatively the ride’s operational sequence may be considered to be terminated, upon which the drive to the rotation of the arm arrangement may be switched off or disconnected, thereby allowing the rotating arms to come to a halt, and the riders allowed to exit their respective seats or cars to signify the end of the ride experience.
  • the e.g. translational movement of the hub or hub arrangement relative to the support column or portion thereof, in the direction substantially coincident with or substantially parallel to the column axis may be effected at any desired stage of the ride’s overall operation.
  • the said translational movement of the hub or hub arrangement may be effected, in either of or sequentially both of its reversible translational directions, at least during (i.e. contemporaneously with) or immediately after, or possibly immediately before, a first stage in the ride’s operation in which the tilting mechanism is operated to effect the tilting or pivoting of the rotation axis of the arm arrangement in a first tilting/pivoting direction, e.g. towards the ground.
  • the two distinct components of movement inherent in the ride’s overall operation - namely the tilting/pivoting of the rotation axis of the arm arrangement (in either direction thereof) and the translational movement of the hub or hub arrangement (in either direction thereof) - may be effected in any relative order or combination or even partially simultaneously or contemporaneously with each other.
  • Different combinations or orders or sequences of such distinct components of movement of the overall ride may therefore be designed to create various novel and unusual overall movements or paths of motion through space of the various rider-accommodating seats or cars, thereby creating or contributing to novel rider experiences which are unique to the ride of the present invention.
