There is provided a system for providing interactivity to a guest of an experiential venue, based on sensor measurement of the guest. The system comprises a sensor configured to sense a guest variable of the guest, where the sensor may be a biometric sensor, a facial recognition sensor, a voice stress analysis sensor, a gesture recognition sensor, a motion tracking sensor, or an eye tracking sensor, and may sense heart rate or another guest variable. The system also comprises a control system, which may be implemented as a computer, in communication with the sensor. The control system is configured to determine a guest state from the guest variable, and to modify a venue variable, for example by selecting a path a theme park ride follows. The control system modifies the venue variable according to the guest state to provide increased satisfaction to the guest of the experiential venue.

A trampoline system has a rebounding bed and a resilient member located below the bed at such a position that the bed depresses the resilient member when the bed is sufficiently depressed by a person jumping on the bed. The presence of the resilient member makes it easy tune the system to adjust the performance of the trampoline and to minimize impacts on a jumper and thereby reduce the likelihood of bed-impact injuries.

An amusement ride apparatus (10) of Ferris wheel type with suspended gondola cars (C) comprises a fixed central structure (11) erected on the ground (12) and having a closed contour supporting a running track (14) in the form of a mainly vertical frame for movement of carriages securedly attached to the gondola cars (C). The carriages are secured to one another by mechanical securing means and move due to the running action of a closed-loop linear drive means arranged parallel to at least a part of the running track by guidance means to constitute a noria of mobile gondola cars (C) with a substantially fixed interval. The linear drive means operate in conjunction with a device for moving in translation (18) arranged along the running track (14). The securing means are formed by a plurality of rigid junction bars where each junction bar couples two successive carriages via ends. The end of a junction bar is mounted on the corresponding carriage by a mechanical joining link ensuring free swivelling and free translation o f the bar with respect to the carriage, independently from one another.

The invention provides a simulation cockpit with three degrees of freedom. The simulation cockpit comprises a base, upright posts, installation mandrels, driving wheel sets and a hollow-spherical cockpit body. The upright posts are fixed to the base; the driving wheel sets are mounted on the installation mandrels on the upright posts; the hollow-spherical cockpit body is arranged on the driving wheel sets. Two of the installation mandrels are in parallel arrangement and the other one is in perpendicular arrangement. The driving wheel sets rotate around the installation mandrels to drive the cockpit body to rotate by 360 degrees in all sides; thus, simulation is realized to the utmost extent. By matching of sound, light, shake, lifting, airflow and the like inside the cockpit body, verisimilitude effect of simulation experience is improved.

A scalable high-performance bouncing apparatus provides convenient access to untensioned internally semi-mounted springs/tension elements. A holster retains the inoperative semi-mounted elements and avoids contact or friction with fully engaged tension elements. Adjustable connection elements permit compensation for lengthening of spring elements due to creep or elongation set. The connection elements include collars that compress the tension elements, and may be connected to the springs/tension elements by first stretching the elements beyond their working elongation and then placing the collars onto the stretched portions.

The invention provides a sightseeing cabin of a tourist vehicle. The sightseeing cabin comprises a sightseeing cabin body, a sightseeing cabin floor, seats, rotary supports and a sightseeing cabin self-balance mechanism. The sightseeing cabin self-balance mechanism comprises a motor, a worm gear and worm speed reducer, a coupling, pinions, bearing blocks, a transmission shaft, chain wheels and an electromagnetic clutch; the motor is fixed onto the sightseeing cabin floor of the sightseeing cabin; the motor is coaxially connected with the worm gear and worm speed reducer; an output shaft of the worm gear and worm speed reducer is coaxially connected with the coupling, the bearing block c, the electromagnetic clutch, the bearing block b and the small chain wheel; the large chain wheel is connected with the small chain wheel by duplex chain wheels; the sightseeing cabin is mounted outside a tourist vehicle wheel flange. The sightseeing cabin has the advantages of high passenger capacity, smoothness in rotation, riding comfort, wide vision and passenger safety. Besides, the electromagnetic clutch can be separated when equipment is powered off, accordingly, the levelness of the floor can be maintained by counterweights and the gravity of the sightseeing cabin, and rescue can be facilitated.

A lateral-swing roller coaster comprises a frame, a pair of stand columns, a swing carriage and a wheel train. The stand columns extend upwardly from the frame along the length direction of a track atan interval. The upper ends of the stand columns are connected with the corresponding ends of the swing carriage rotationally. The swing carriage is arranged on the upper side, between the stand columns, of the frame. The wheel train is fixed to the frame, and moves along the length direction of the track to drive the frame to move along the track. The lateral-swing roller coaster has the advantages that the roller coaster has a lateral swing function while traveling along the track, and fresh exciting experience is brought to riders; transverse force to the roller coaster during travelling is eliminated through lateral swing, and accordingly, the comfort level in riding of visitors is improved.

The invention relates to a transport and gliding device for surfboards, comprising a guided stream of water influencing the action of the surfboard, and a plurality of flexible parallel tubes (1) which are inclined at an angle (2) and have a non-abrasive, pressure-insensitive cover. Water flows upstream through said tubes which are preferably arranged or fixed on a solid base with spacers. In the region of the board gliding thereover, the cross-section of the tubes is reduced to a maximum value of zero by the gliding and squashing edge (5) of the board. In this way, the upwardly flowing water column (3) in the tube moves the board (4) with the surfer upwards. Strong jets of water (8) are also sprayed upwards on the surface of the tube, hitting the lower side of the board when it tilts and thus also pushing the board with the surfer upwards. The inventive gliding device can either be used in a buoyant manner on a lake, on the land or in areas with pools.
