A gimbaled wheel amusement ride is disclosed.

An amusement device is disclosed having an animal body portion and a remote control portion. The animal body portion may be a lizard having horns and a tail. A user may use the remote control to cause the animal to move. The animal body has at least one motor operably connected to the animal's head, legs, and tail. The motor causes the animal to walk forward, walk backward, or dance in place at the selection of the user, and causes the tail to move and the mouth of the animal's head to move. An ...

A novelty device in the form of a color-changing amusement ball comprising a spherical body member, a transparent spherical cover concentrically surrounding the body member and spaced therefrom to define a spherical cavity, and a layer of liquid crystalline material disposed within the cavity. The liquid crystalline material is responsive to temperature changes and/or deformational stresses applied thereto so that the material changes color with a change in temperature to which the ball is expos...

The present invention provides an interactive amusement device and system encompassing a primary robotic unit which performs actions communicated by a remote wireless transmitter and at least one secondary robotic unit which interacts through wireless communication with the primary robotic unit. In some embodiments, the primary and secondary robotic units interact with each other and the user.

An amusement device comprising at least one holder for a person and a securing device for detachably securing a person in the holder. The holder comprises at least a seat and a backrest. The securing device includes at least two straps, first ends of which are positioned near a part of the backrest remote from the seat and second ends of which are positioned near the seat. The straps are each fitted with a lock plate between said first and said second ends, which lock plates can be detachably lo...

Apparatus for amusement, unusually capable of causing the user to interact while it is in operation, comprising a structure capable of rotating about an axis and a support for receiving at least one user associated with the structure in its rotary motion about an axis. The structure comprises at least one target. In addition to this, activating mechanism operatively associated with the support to receive at least one user are provided, the activating mechanism being capable of causing the suppor...

An amusement game that includes a horizontally-oriented rotating wheel, a coin chute to introduce a coin to a central region of said rotating wheel wherein the coin slides on its lateral side, a stationary guide to direct the coin in a radial direction from the central region of the wheel toward the periphery of the wheel, and a plurality of payoff positions located at angular positions on the wheel. A detector is provided to determine if a coin introduced to the wheel intersects with a payoff p...

Amusement apparatus which permits unusual compactness and easy transportation comprises a vehicle for accommodating users, the vehicle being suitable for following a path in space which comprises a component due to oscillation about a center of instantaneous rotation and a component, due to rotation about an axis oriented variously in space. The vehicle is supported on a support structure comprising two rails the shape of which defines the shape of the component due to oscillation of the vehicle...

An amusement device, including a frame made from four support legs which, running obliquely upwards toward one another, at their top end support a rotary member, an arm, one end of which is secured to the rotary member and which can be pivoted between the support legs, and a receiving device for people, which is suspended from the other end of the arm. The support legs, at their bottom end, are secured to a trailer by means of hinges, the hinge axis of which is oriented transversely with respect...

An amusement game is formed with a serpentine path formed of various segments. The segments include various hazards, wherein locomotion tool structure is arranged to direct token discs along various top surfaces of the segments, whereupon displacement of the predetermined top surfaces of the discs relative to the top surfaces effects repositioning of the discs to starting the path anew.
