ABSTRACT:
An amusement ride, especially a trailer mounted amusement ride, in which passenger cabs, or compartments, are suspended from a track which has one reach extending longitudinally along the trailer on the outside and another reach inside the trailer following a sinuous path therethrough. The track portion outside the trailer is detachable therefrom for transporting the ride from place to place. The trailer vehicle is also adapted for being coupled to another trailer vehicle in end to end relation to form an elongated ride. The passenger cabs, or compartments, have individual drive motors thereon for propelling the cabs along the track and each motor is battery powered by a battery on the respective cab. Conveniently, battery charging rails are provided inside the trailer so that the batteries are charged while the cabs are moving inside the trailer and the cabs run solely on battery power while outside the trailer.
