A gondola of a Ferris wheel installation is connected to a wheel rim structure of the Ferris wheel by means of a guide structure comprising at least one bearing that is connected to the wheel rim structure by two sliding ball joints which have slide axes that are parallel to one another and spaced apart from one another.

A rotary hanging chair comprises a cushion, a support frame and a base assembly. The cushion has two ends connected to an upper end of the support frame and is able to swing forwards and backwards with respect to the support frame. A bottom of the support frame is connected to the base assembly and is able to rotate within 360° with respect to the base assembly. The entire rotary hanging chair comprises three detachable parts, thus being simple and practical in structure, not only can swing forwards and backwards like a traditional hanging chair, but also can rotate within 360° to change the direction freely to meet the requirement for switching the view angle, and is small in size, easy to carry and capable of being used both indoors and outdoors.

An amusement device (1) with a central shaft (2) which includes a base structure (2a); and a plurality of arms (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d), coupled to the central shaft (2), each of the arms (3a-3d) being rotatable around a relevant arm axis (A2), provided with one or more vehicles (6) having seats for users of the amusement device (1).

Arms are mounted opposite one another on a hub carried on a main support tower. The arms rotate around the hub about a first axis. Each arm carries at its outer end a gondola with seats. The arms rotate in a vertical plane so that the gondolas travel in a circular path that has a component of vertical movement. Each gondola has a main support connected to an end of an arm via a motor and bearing, such that the support rotates about a second axis. The support branches out into eight curved branches extending radially outwardly. A seat is mounted at the end of each curved branch via a motor and bearing, such that the seat can rotate about its own axis. Riders are secured safely in the seats by harnesses. The combination of variable rotations about the different axes affords a thrilling ride.

A seat moving machine comprises a passenger seat assembly disposed in between opposing seat supports which raise and lower the passenger seat assembly. One or more passenger seat beam rotators are operative to rotate the passenger seat assembly to change the pitch independently of the raising and lowering. In embodiments, rather that the seat rows being pivoted up with a rotating floor, a rotate function alters their mutual positions to one another while the lift function is taking place which brings the back seat rows up and over the front seat rows, allowing control over mutual row position during lift and in the show. Though no cables are involved, by combining the motions of lift and rotate and without any further equipment, an immersive theater system comprising the seat moving machine still employs seating that is suspended.

An amusement ride allows at least one rider to rotate/swing around a distal pivot axis, wherein said distal pivot axis is rotatable around rotary axis projecting away from said distal pivot axis, wherein the rotary axis is in parallel direction with said distal pivot axis, wherein the rotary axis is distal from a swing axis and rotates/swings around said swing axis, wherein swing axis is supported by a frame, wherein the frame adapted to be mounted on a supporting surface.
