A track includes a travel path including a travel face with which travel wheels of a vehicle come into contact while rolling. The travel path includes a plurality of travel path forming units that are arranged to be adjacent to each other in a travel direction of the vehicle and of which each includes a unit travel face forming part of the travel face and a positioning unit that fixes a relative position between travel path forming units adjacent to each other.

In accordance with one embodiment, a system includes a dual-track loop including a first track loop and a second track loop, a single-track loop spaced apart from the dual-track loop, and a cross-track extending between the dual-track loop and the single-track loop. The system also includes a platform disposed on the cross-track. The platform is configured to translate between a position aligned with the first track loop and the second track loop of the dual-track loop and a position aligned with a first portion and a second portion of the single-track loop. The system further includes a turntable coupled to the platform and configured to rotate a ride vehicle positioned on the turntable and to change an orientation of the ride vehicle relative to a fixed portion of the platform.

A rail configured to guide a carriage is provided. The rail includes a first unit and a second unit; and a coupling mechanism. The coupling mechanism is configured to couple a first target member, which is a coupling target that is either a first support or a first rack, to a second target member, which is a coupling target that is a second support or a second rack. The coupling mechanism includes a coupling member; a first fixing member; and a second fixing member. The first fixing member is configured to position the first target member and the coupling member, and the second fixing member is configured to adjust relative positions of the second target member and the coupling member, and is configured to fix the second target member and the coupling member at adjusted relative positions.

A track system may include a track assembly and a support assembly. A track assembly may include a toothed portion. The support assembly may include a support member removable from and adjustably connected to the track assembly. The toothed portion may include a plurality of track teeth. The support member may include an adjuster pinion. The adjuster pinion may include a plurality of pinion teeth configured to engage the plurality of track teeth. The adjuster pinion may be adjustable to an engaged position in which the adjuster pinion and the toothed portion are engaged with one another. The adjuster pinion may be adjustable to a disengaged position in which the adjuster pinion and the toothed portion are not engaged with one another.

An embodiment of a transport system may include a vehicle and a circuit with a rail extending at least on sections of the circuit. The system may include a drive system configured for a positive drive for propelling the vehicle along the circuit, wherein, at least on sections extending along the circuit, the drive system has first and second engagement members. The first engagement member may have a first projection and an adjacent second projection on at least sections of the circuit and, between the first and adjacent second projections, grooves, which are each bounded by the first and adjacent second projections. The first engagement member may have one or more openings, of which at least one through-opening is formed between the first and adjacent second projections. Through the through-opening may engage a connecting member configured for connecting the first engagement member with the rail for attachment to the rail.
