Abstract

An amusement park attraction comprises an array of cells, the array including cells being arranged at various horizontal positions and various vertical positions. A movable passenger assembly, preferably a seat assembly, is provided for one or more passengers, which passenger assembly is at least movable in vertical direction. The passenger assembly and/or the array of cells is movable in horizontal direction.A cell is defined by a boundary and has a viewing opening. Mmultiple cells of said array each contain a discrete scene to be viewed by the one or more passengers.A programmable actuating system is provided, which actuating system provides a programmed route of said passenger assembly along the viewing openings of said scene containing cells, so that the one or more passengers are presented a predetermined sequence of scenes and at least experience a vertical motion along said route.Preferably the passenger assembly is movable in vertical direction and at least in one other direction, preferably multiple other directions, said other directions preferably including at least one rotational direction, if desired a composite motion in multiple directions simultaneously.Preferably the array of cells is stationary and the actuating system is associated with said passenger assembly to impart motions at least in vertical as well as horizontal direction to said passenger assembly.
