Amusement ride

Abstract

An amusement ride with two support towers with a suspended set of cables forming a track that supports a ride truck is disclosed. Riders are suspended beneath the ride truck in a rider support mechanism. The ride truck is driven along the track between the towers, causing the rider support mechanism to be propelled along under the ride truck. The ride truck slows and reverses on the track when it reaches the other tower. The forward momentum of the rider support mechanism causes it to swing out beyond the tower, before it is pulled back toward the other tower by the ride truck.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An amusement ride comprising:
 at least two support towers with a track suspended between the support towers;   a ride truck slideably mounted on the track;   a rider support mechanism suspended beneath the ride truck;   the ride truck being driven along the track from one tower to the other and then being driven back to the other tower such that the rider support mechanism swings out beyond the support tower at each end of the ride.
