Aggressive linear acceleration system (A.L.A.S.) motion ride method

摘要

A method utilizes reduced operational time and motion paths with consequently reduced manufacturing, operational, and maintenance costs relative to roller coasters, motion simulators, and other similar thrills rides currently in use. This method is accomplished by an Aggressive Linear Acceleration System (A.L.A.S.) maneuver, which is defined as 1) moving a passenger vehicle (107) at a constant angular speed (A) about one central axis of rotation (105), 2) moving passenger vehicle (107) at constant angular speed (A) about central axis of rotation (105), and away from central axis of rotation (105) at an increasing speed by a negative driven acceleration C, and 3) moving passenger vehicle (107) at constant angular speed (A) about central axis of rotation (105), and away from central axis of rotation (105) at a decreasing speed by a positive driven acceleration E. Consequently, the A.L.A.S. maneuver removes current limitations of amusement and thrill rides allowing for incorporations of simulation and motion technologies that presently are not viable.

1. A method for generating aggressive linear acceleration forces on a passenger, within a passenger vehicle, comprising sequentially performing the steps of:
moving said passenger, within said passenger vehicle, at a constant angular speed about a central axis of rotation; while maintaining said constant angular speed about said central axis of rotation, providing an acceleration force on said passenger, within said passenger vehicle, in an outward direction away from said central axis of rotation; and while maintaining said constant angular speed about said central axis of rotation, providing an acceleration force on said passenger, within said passenger vehicle, in an inward direction toward said central axis of rotation.
