151 Roller-ball roller coaster US11810347 2007-06-04 US20080300730A1 2008-12-04 Joseph M. Cleary
A novel roller coaster comprising a spherical, rotating rider-enclosure, wherein the roller coaster is transported along or within a track configured to transport the coaster, while converting coaster kinetic energy from potential energy and back. The rider is subjected to accelerations resulting from the coaster's transport, among which are rotational accelerations resulting from the rider enclosure. In a preferred embodiment, the coaster comprises a transport mechanism, the transport mechanism engaging and following a track. The spherical enclosure further includes a gimbal arrangement having a gyroscope, the gimbal arrangement supported by the transport mechanism. The gimbal arrangement contains at least one seat carrying a rider, and the motion of the rider is determined by the gyroscope that is controlled by a computer within the coaster. Therefore the motion of the rider is determined by the path of the transport mechanism and the rotation of the rider compartment under the computer controlled gyroscope. The spherical enclosure may roll within a track or the spherical enclosure may be attached to and carried by a traditional roller coaster conveyance.

155 Motion simulator operating system and method US136250 1998-08-19 US06050823A 2000-04-18 Frank McClintic
A control system for a motion simulator and the associated method of operating the motion simulator. The control system contains a memory. Within the memory is a plurality of pre-programmed maneuvers that are capable of being simulated by the motion simulator. An interface is provided that enables a person to select some of the pre-programmed maneuvers from the memory in a desired sequence, prior to that person entering the motion simulator. Once a certain sequence of maneuvers is selected, the motion simulator simulates those maneuvers in the chosen sequence. This enables each rider of the motion simulator to design his/her own simulation each time that person uses the motion simulator. The control system also enables a rider to program the motion simulator at the sight of the motion simulator or at home, via a personal computer. As such, a rider can select a sequence of maneuvers and create a ride at home and carry the selected sequences to the motion simulator on disk or send the selected sequences to the motion simulator via a telecommunications link.
