Abstract

See full text

A track section for a ride having a vehicle, divided into a first block segment and a second block segment. The first block segment has a first high point and ends at a second high point. The second block segment begins at the second high point. A first linear drive is situated before the first high point, and a second linear drive is situated between the first high point and the second high point. The positions of the high points relative to one another and the design of the linear drives are coordinated so the vehicle can be brought to a standstill in the first block segment if entry into the second block segment is not enabled. A method for traveling over the track section is provided, wherein a change in direction of travel of the vehicle is produced if the second block segment is not enabled for entry.
