AMUSEMENT RIDE WITH PIVOTABLE MOTION BASE

摘要

An amusement ride includes a motion base (4) having multiple degrees of freedom. An audience platform (6) is eccentrically pivotable on top of the motion base about a pivot point (20) that is eccentrically offset from a central region of the audience platform. A motor (26) disposed on either the motion base (4) or the audience platform (6) is used to pivot the audience platform via a shaft. A projection screen (8) is located either on board or off board and is used to display images or a motion picture. The amusement ride simulates fishtailing, slide out, and similar movements experienced as a vehicle turns.
