ABSTRACT:
A vehicle for an amusement ride attraction has front and rear bumper systems which include proximity or impact sensors connected to a programmable controller. The controller signals the vehicle to accelerate or decelerate for a pre-determined period of time, during a sensed collision. Consequently, during a collision, the chasing car is automatically decelerated and the leading car is automatically accelerated. The dynamic effect of a collision can thus be simulated or exaggerated without the full impact normally associated with collisions.
