Abstract: The present invention relates to an amusement ride (1), having a frame (10) that can be rotated about a vertical axis (Z), with at least one first seat row arrangement (20) with a linkage (30), at least one row of seats (40), each with at least one seat (41) for a passenger, and a lifting device (50), the at least one row of seats (40) being connected to the linkage (30) via a joint (45), the linkage (30) connecting the joint (45) to the frame (10), and the lifting device (50) being able to lift the row of seats (40) in the orientation of the vertical axis (Z).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for operating a ride (1) on a terrain (10) having at least one vehicle (20), the at least one vehicle (20) having a drive device (22), at least one passenger receptacle (21) for at least one passenger (5), and a store (24) that can be filled with projectiles (15), the method being characterized in that the at least one vehicle (20) is moved on the terrain by means of the relevant drive device (22) and in that at least one projectile (15) can be removed from the store (24) can be fired at the instigation of the at least one passenger (5). In addition, the present invention relates to a ride (1).

Abstract: A water ride containing at least one watercraft is described, having at least a floating body and a chassis which is connected thereto in an articulated manner and which serves as a guide unit, and a guide for the chassis which runs in the water, and a drive for the watercraft, wherein the floating body is connected to the chassis via a connection unit which comprises flexible elements and which allows relative movements of the floating body with respect to the chassis, wherein arranged on the floating body and on the chassis are associated coupling elements which serve for rigidly connecting the floating body and the chassis in at least one relative position, and in that the coupling elements are designed in such a way that the floating body is fixed on the chassis after being lowered.

Abstract: A watercraft is described for a water-ride facility. The watercraft consists of a floating body 10, which is connected by an articulated connecting unit 20 to the undercarriage 30, in such a way that the position of the floating body 10 can be modified in the longitudinal and transverse directions, relative to the undercarriage, and can be modified with respect to its height, with the result the floating body 10 can execute rocking, swaying, and rolling movements comparable to a freely floating boat, despite being guided by the undercarriage 30. The undercarriage 30 is guided by means of rails 40 that are fixed in position. Outside of the water the floating body 10 can be firmly attached to the undercarriage 30 by means of coupling elements 14 and 34.

Abstract: An arrangement for detecting the state of rotation of cutting rollers (2) of a shield tunneling machine has at least one cutting roller (2) comprising a generator unit (12) that generates electrical energy when the respective cutting roller (2) is rotating, a signal-generating unit (16) connected to the generator unit (12), and an antenna unit (17) connected to the signal-generating unit (16). The signal generating unit (16) serves to generate transmission signals characteristic of the state of rotation of the respective cutting roller (2). An antenna (20) of the antenna unit (17) is disposed over at least one outer circumferential portion of the respective cutting roller (2) and is equipped for the wireless transmission of the transmission signals. The arrangement further comprises a receiving unit equipped to receive the transmission signals and interpret them regarding the state of rotation of the respective cutting roller (2).
