ABSTRACT:
The subject invention is an improved amusement park ride apparatus which is an adaptation of an upright vertical ferris wheel ride of the type that is rotated about a fixed axis, such invention being an upright wheel structure having chairs thereon to hold riders as the wheel rotates in a vertical plane. The axle of rotation of the wheel is adapted to move horizontally along a horizontally disposed track, essentially back and forth between positions along such horizontally disposed track. In a further embodiment of the subject invention, the horizontal track upon which the ferris wheel can move may be optionally mounted on a rotatable platform to yield a horizontal circular movement of the entire apparatus in addition to the foregoing reciprocal linear movement.
