ABSTRACT:
An amusement ride system includes a chair assembly within which an occupant is seated during the course of a ride and a pair of upstanding towers fixedly secured to the ground in a spaced relationship. Bungee cords are joined to each side of the chair assembly and have ends which extend toward the upper portions of the tower. By securing the chair assembly to the ground at a ready position and tensioning the bungee cords to a stretched condition, the chair assembly is biased upwardly by the stretched condition of the bungee cords. The system also includes guide rails which cooperate with the chair assembly so that upon release of the chair assembly from its release position, the chair assembly is guided along a preselected path for at least a short period of time following release of the chair assembly to prevent the chair assembly from being thrown through the air by the bungee cords until the chair assembly has been guided along the preselected path.
