Abstract
A track-mounted ride powered by compressed gas injected either into a tube surrounding the vehicle of the ride or into a housing having a piston connected to a catch that removably engages the vehicle. The track can be an open course or a closed course. Braking is accomplished either by braking systems traditionally utilized in the art of track-mounted amusement rides or by using a tube which the vehicle enters and in which the vehicle compresses air to produce pneumatic braking.
