ABSTRACT:
The passenger gondola of a looping swing suspended in pendulum fashion on motor-driven outriggers has parallel rows of passenger seats that are disposed parallel to the axis of rotation of the outriggers and to the axis of swing of the passenger gondola. Here, the head rests of the passenger seats are a short distance from the axis of swing, in order to hold the acceleration forces acting on the passengers, which occur with looping over of the passenger gondola.
Preferably, the position of the passenger gondola relative to the outriggers is locked at a particular angular position. The ride activity is then operated such that the gondola locks in the tilted, forward direction of rotation, and locking is released at about the top dead point of outrigger rotation, so that the passenger gondola executes a loop on the outriggers overtaking it.
