ABSTRACT:
A ride system having a frame (6), at least one passenger carrier (8) which for altering its height is guided along the frame (6) between an upper end position II and a lower end position I, a cable or chain pull (12) which at its first end (12a) is fastened to the passenger carrier (8) and is deflected round a first roller (14) supported on the frame (6) so that the passenger carrier (8) is suspended from the first roller (14) by means of the cable (12) or chain, and a driving mechanism (24, 26, 36, 44) to drive the cable or chain pull (12) for raising the passenger carrier (8) from its lower end position, (I) up to its upper end position (II). The special feature consists in the provision of at least one second roller (16) which may be moved and driven by the driving mechanism (34, 26, 36, 44) essentially transversely to its axis of rotation, the cable (12) or chain running from the first roller (14) to the second roller (16), there becoming deflected and being fastened by the second end (12b) to a point of attachment (18) on the frame (6).
