[0036] The present invention is a modularized amusement ride and training simulation device comprising an axle about which spins a frame and a body attached to the frame which allows a pilot to enter and exit, a seat within the body for seating at least one pilot riding inside who activates and controls the spin of the seat, a means for pilot control of the spin of the frame, such as hand controls, a means for propelling the spin of the frame, either forwards or backwards, such as an electric or an hydraulic motor, a means for stopping and locking the frame at any attitude about the axle, a means for releasing the about the axis so that the frame returns to a relative upright and neutral position in the event the pilot releases the hand controls, a restraint or harness system which restrains the pilot on the seat and within the confines of the body, the sum of which comprises a modularized spinning pod device ("Pod"). For simple amusement purposes, the pilot may control the spin of...

Abstract
An amusement device comprising a modularized pod, in which one or more riders sit and are restrained, and which spins under power about a horizontal axis according to the passenger's active control. The riders control the spinning of the pod, either forward or backward, by pressing buttons on the passenger's handgrips located inside the pod. The modularized pod may be used in conjunction with many different types of amusement devices, including, but not limited to roller coasters, carrousels, Ferris wheels, virtual reality units, centrifugal tumblers. The modularized pod may also be used in conjunction with flight and space training and simulation units.
