A portable dry recreational slide is configured to be easily carried by a single person when in a compacted state and expanded into a deployed state in a remote location as desired. The dry recreational slide, when deployed, is elongated and includes a low-friction sliding surface upon which a rider may slide without application of water, oil, soap or any other temporary lubricant. The dry slide comprises a slide body having a lightweight, flexible substrate coated with a low-friction material.

A folding play structure is provided. The play structure is convertible between a storage position and a use position, and has first, second, third and fourth sidewalls. A center beam is positioned between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. A first foldable frame structure joins one end of the first sidewall to one end of the second sidewall, and a second foldable frame structure joins the other end of the first sidewall to the other end of the second sidewall. A frame lock is provided and is prevented from moving when the play structure is in the use position to retain the structure in the use position. The structure has legs, a slide and a ladder.

The mobile sheet flow water ride apparatus of the present invention utilizes a rigid inclined structure. Ride surfaces, aisle surfaces, and surround fences are covered with protective inflatable air cushions. The ride apparatus of the present invention has non-retractable transport wheels and uses a multitude of adjustable jacks to take the load off the transport wheels and support the ride apparatus. The ride apparatus utilizes a 15,000 gpm double-suction pump driven by a 460-horsepower diesel engine that is transported in its own trailer. Water is pumped from a main storage tank through a horizontally-oriented nozzle that 2.438 meters wide and 6.35 cm high at supercritical speed. The water rushes up the slope, over a berm at the top of the slope, and back into the main storage tank through a square main return grate.

A portable, folding dog agility teeter is disclosed. The teeter has two boards which are connected by a hinge. A pair of legs are also hinged. Each board can be reversibly fixed in relation to the hinge so the longitudinal axis of each board is parallel to the other. A fulcrum is formed where the legs attach to the hinge. One of the boards is heavier than the other so the heavier board is touching the ground when no additional load is on the other board. As a dog crosses from one board to the other, the teeter moves so the lighter board touches the ground. When the dog leaves the teeter the heavier board moves to touch the ground, thereby resetting the teeter for repeated use.

A support construction for a transportable attraction for amusement rides is provided with a base, at least two masts that are moveable between a folded and stretched position, and a main shaft that is intended to be supported by the masts in the stretched position of the masts. Each mast comprises a base mast segment, which is hingedly attached to the base, and a top mast segment, which is hingedly connected with the base mast segment and is attachable to the main shaft. The base comprises at least two trailers and trailer coupling means for coupling the trailers. On each of the trailers a base mast segment of one of the masts is mounted. The support construction further comprises first mast coupling means for the coupling of a first pair of masts in folded position. A method for raising the support construction is set forth.

A first foldable frame structure joins one end of the first sidewall to one end of the second sidewall, and a second foldable frame structure joins the other end of the first sidewall to the other end of the second sidewall. A frame lock is provided and is prevented from moving when the play structure is in the use position to retain the structure in the use position. The structure has legs, a slide and a ladder.

The present invention relates to a Ferris wheel, comprising two pairs of masts (11, 12, 21, 22), wherein the masts in each pair are hingedly connected to each other and wherein each pair of masts is moveable between a folded position and a stretched position. The Ferris wheel is provided with multiple spokes (10), two spoke rings for mounting the spokes and multiple ring segments for interconnection of the spokes. The Ferris wheel comprises a first shaft (13), which is mounted fixedly on the top of the first pair of masts (11, 12), wherein a first of the two spoke rings is arranged rotatably around the first shaft. The Ferris wheel further comprises a second shaft (23), which is mounted fixedly on the top of the second pair of masts (21, 22), wherein the second spoke ring is arranged rotatably around the second shaft. In use of the Ferris wheel, the second shaft is substantially in line with the first shaft at a distance from the first shaft.

The invention also relates to a method for building the Ferris wheel according to the invention.

A stair and slide assembly includes a stair portion including a plurality of stairs, a slide portion including a slide with an entrance and an exit, and an assist bar positioned proximate the exit of the slide to assist a user with pivoting from the exit of the slide to the stair portion. The slide has a first portion extending substantially linearly from the entrance of the slide at an angle and a second portion extending from the first portion to the exit of the slide. The second portion transitions the slide from the angle of the first portion to substantially horizontal. The exit of the slide is configured to be positioned at a target height above a ground surface. The target height is between about 18 inches and about 30 inches.

The present invention relates to a support construction (10) for a transportable attraction (100) for amusement rides provided with a base (2), at least two masts (21, 22) that are moveable between a folded and stretched position, and a main shaft (30) that is intended to be supported by the masts in the stretched position of the masts. Each mast comprises a base mast segment, which is hingedly attached to the base, and a top mast segment, which is hingedly connected with the base mast segment and is attachable to the main shaft. The base comprises at least two trailers (11, 12) and trailer coupling means for coupling the trailers. On each of the trailers a base mast segment of one of the masts is mounted. The support construction further comprises first mast coupling means for the coupling of a first pair of masts in folded position.

The invention further relates to a method for raising the support construction according to the invention.

A mobile recreational lift system, comprising a first lift vehicle and a second lift vehicle, each lift vehicle having an observation platform for carrying passengers, and an articulating lift mechanism for elevating the observation platform above a ground surface. The lift vehicles are positioned at an observation site in a paired configuration, allowing the observation platforms of both vehicles to be elevated simultaneously while retaining the ability to be independently controlled. The lift mechanisms are also adapted to move the observation platforms laterally, allowing the observation platforms to be placed in close proximity to allow the passengers to interact. If one of the lift vehicles malfunctions, the other lift vehicle may immediately position its observation platform to aid the passengers of the malfunctioning vehicle. Cameras mounted on each observation platform are adapted to capture images of the other observation platform and the passengers therein, from a variety of perspectives.
