  • Patent number: 11850529
    Abstract: An indoor zip coaster has a zip coaster rail suspended above ground and forming a closed loop. At least one trolley located is on the rail, with a rider tethered to the trolley by a harness. The rail has plural sections, with each section of the rail including an incline portion and a decline portion. The trolley traverses the respective incline portion of one of the sections before traversing the respective decline portion of the one section. Each of the stations contains a respective incline portion of rail, a ramp for the rider to climb. The decline portion of rail of the next section extends from one station to the next station. By including stations with inclined portions of rail along the zip coaster path, a longer ride can be obtained. In addition, sensors and gates can be provided at the stations to allow a single rider on each rail section, with multiple riders on the overall zip coaster spread among the sections.

  • Publication number: 20200197772
    Abstract: A game arena has a floor and walls located about the floor. The floor includes movable surfaces, the floor and walls form a space. Players occupy the space and throw objects such as balls. Projectors project moving images on the walls and the floor. Sensors, such as cameras and LIDAR units, detect the thrown objects and detect where and when the object impact the walls. A processor determines the location of the objects impacting the walls and the location of the moving images when the objects impacts the walls, the processor causing the projectors to change an image that has been impacted by the object.
