An entertainment structure includes: an offset core; a moment stabilizing structure; and a plurality of floor plate assemblies. Each of the plurality of floor plate assemblies includes a first edge and a second edge. The first edge of each of the plurality of floor plate assemblies is configured to be coupled to the offset core and the second edge of each of the plurality of floor plate assemblies is configured to be coupled to the moment stabilizing structure.

An amusement ride is formed from a self-equalizing dual line affixed to a pulley at its upper end and to pulley and counterweight system at its lower end. An upper platform at the upper dual line end launches a rider who is connected via a line to a pulley riding on the dual line. A slide is carried by the upper platform from which the rider is launched, resulting in the rider swinging in an arcuate motion about the pulley. A belay, carried by the dual line, is movable to confront the pulley as the rider is carried down the dual lines and to enhance the arcuate swinging of the rider. A lower landing permits the rider to demount the amusement ride.

A ride attraction system includes a tower track and a ride vehicle configured to accommodate one or more riders. The ride vehicle is coupled to and configured to move relative to the tower track and the ride vehicle includes one or more user input devices. The ride attraction system further includes an image system configured to display a ride environment, wherein the user input devices are configured to enable the one or more riders to interact with elements of the ride environment via the one or more user input devices. The ride attraction system further includes a controller communicatively coupled to the ride vehicle and the image system and configured to control movement of the ride vehicle relative to the tower track based on signals from the one or more user input devices.

An amusement device for ascending, backwards rushing and falling includes a lifting tower, the lower part of the lifting tower having an entry section and the upper part having a lifting slide-out section, an amusement ship entering the lifting tower by the bow through the entry section and then leaving the lifting tower by the stern through the lifting slide-out section in the same direction, and the entry section and the lifting slide-out section being in the same direction; and a descending tower, the upper part of the descending tower having a descending entry section and the lower part having a descending slide-out section, the amusement ship entering the descending tower through the descending entry section and then leaving the descending tower through the descending slide-out section in the same direction, and the descending entry section and the descending slide-out section being in the same direction.

Described herein is an apparatus and method to convey an object through the air in a controlled and repeatable manner. The apparatus may comprise an object attached to at least one resilient member, the resilient member or members constraining object movement in a substantially vertical y-axis direction. The apparatus may also comprise at least one support member coupled to the at least one resilient member, and the support member or members constrain object movement in a substantially horizontal x-axis direction. In use, the resilient member is energised, movement initiated, and object movement then occurs in an x-axis and a y-axis direction, the movement path substantially governed by the resilient member(s) and the support member(s). The apparatus and method may allow the object to experience a variety of movement sensations, one being the feeling of flight or gliding.

The adventure park is a transportable, compact complete construction, which can be repeatedly assembled and disassembled. The complete construction comprises a rectangular tower, which two sides are open and two sides are covered with diagonally cross-tightened cables, and which has posts for corners. A passage, a stairway, a climbing pole and an equipment for the swing set and free fall attractions are inside of the tower. A climbing wall is mounted to two posts and a rappelling wall is also mounted to two posts.

The apparatus may also comprise at least one support member coupled to the at least one resilient member, and the support member or members constrain object movement in a substantially horizontal x-axis direction. In use, the resilient member is energized, movement initiated, and object movement then occurs in both an x-axis and y-axis direction, the movement path substantially governed by the resilient member(s) and the support member(s). The apparatus and method may allow the object to experience a variety of movement sensations, one being the feeling of flight or gliding.

It is disclosed a water amusement ride (1) comprising at least one vehicle (2) comprising means (6) for accommodating at least one passenger, a container (10) for storing water having an opening (10a) to define a water surface (S). The vehicle (2) is movable between a raised position (RP) with respect to the water surface (S), and a stop position (SP), in which at least part of the vehicle is submerged in the water. The ride further comprises lifting means (30) to move the vehicle from the stop position to the raised position, and wherein the vehicle (2) moved from the raised position (RP) towards said stop position (SP) is decelerated by the contact with water in said container (10) to reach the stop position (SP).
