ABSTRACT:
Amusement apparatus is disclosed comprising a spherical passenger-holding body, and a vertical tube having a diameter sufficient to receive the body in a vertical path of motion. A turbine for moving air through the tube is located at the upper end of the tube for raising the body from the lower inlet end toward the upper end of the tube. To change the attitude of the body in its raised position, two sets of controls are utilized which are both manipulated by the passenger. Louver members externally mounted permits revolution of the body about its vertical axis by reaction to the air. Two U-shaped members in perpendicular planes are rotatably mounted at their ends in the body. Each has a weight slidable along its member, with the weights pivotally joined to each other. The passenger loaded body is wheeled on a cart to a position below the tube, and on actuation of the air the body is suspended in the tube, and by simultaneous manipulation of the louver members and the position of the weights, the air suspended body can assume any universal attitude desired.
