Abstract
An orbital amusement ride adapted to stand on the ground has a pair of spaced-apart posts standing on the ground and having respective upper ends defining respective pivot axes that are generally parallel and define a generally horizontal plane with the posts generally perpendicular to this plane and spaced apart thereon parallel to the axes. Respective generally parallel arms are pivotal on the posts about the respective axes and have respective diametrically opposite first and second arm ends. A drive in one of the posts rotates the arms jointly and synchronously about the respective axes with the first arm ends spaced horizontally from each other and the second arm ends spaced horizontally from each other also. A first passenger-receiving car is pivoted on and bridges the first arm ends and a second passenger-receiving car is pivoted on and bridges the second arm ends. Thus on joint synchronous rotation of the arms each of the cars describes a generally elliptical orbit lying in a vertical plane and generally bisected by the horizontal plane of the arm axes.
