An amusement ride is described which comprises a surface (20) that is inclined to the horizontal, a plurality of cars (30) each of which is arranged to carry at least one passager for the ride and to travel over said inclined surface, and transport means for causing movement of said inclined surface (20). The inclined surface (20) is provided by a material that provides frictional contact with the car (30) and the transport means is arranged to move said surface (20) continuously up a direction of incline the surface. Each of the cars (30) has an under-surface for frictional contact with said inclined surface, and the arrangement is such that, in use, the force exerted down the inclined surface due to gravity on one of said cars (30) carrying a passenger on the inclined surface (20) may be substantially counterbalanced by the force exerted on the car up the inclined surface, due to the movement of the inclined surface and the frictional contact between the moving inclined surface and the under-surface of the car. |
