Embodiment Construction

[0035] figure 1 is a perspective view of a tower amusement ride 100 with a track 101 forming a double helix around a body 201 of a tower 200 . In the depicted embodiment, the main body 201 of the tower is a building such as a hotel or other high-rise building. Amusement ride 100 may also be built on an open tower structure. The track 101 has a first helical portion 102 for supporting a rider carriage 104 traveling in one direction on the main body of the tower ascent or descent and a first helical section 102 for traveling in the other direction on the main body of the tower. The second helical portion 103 for the support of the occupant carrier. In the depicted embodiment, portion 102 is an upward portion and 103 is a downward portion. However, this is for illustrative purposes only. Depending on the design of the propulsion system, the direction of travel of the occupant carrier can be reversed if desired. Unlike prior art rides, it makes no difference in the operation ...

Abstract

A tower ride is disclosed with suspended cars mounted on rails that forms track that is a complete double helix path for the car without having to turn the car or switch tracks. The car is suspended from a four truss track, riding on the two bottom rails for stability. Another embodiment is a roller coaster track mounted on a tower.

Description

[0001] cross reference application [0002] This application is a non-provisional application and requires provisional application no.61 / 490,135 submitted on May 26, 2011, provisional application no.61 / 554,865 submitted on November 2, 2011 and provisional application no.61 / 554,865 submitted on March 28, 2012. Provisional Application No. 61 / 616,585, each of which is incorporated herein by reference for any purpose. Background technique [0003] Recreational rides with tracks on towers are known in the art. One problem with prior art rides is that they do not have the same length of ride up as the length of the ride down along the tower, and the tower blocks the rider's view. One option is to spiral the track up the tower. However, a problem in prior art tower-type rides is lowering the ride back from the tower without flipping the ride or just lowering the track straight down the side. It would be more desirable to have tracks that spiral up and down the tower, allowing for ...
