Amusement Park Ride

Large-scale amusement facilities refer to the facilities that are used for business purposes and carry passengers for amusement. The scope is specified as large-scale manned amusement facilities with a designed maximum operating linear speed greater than or equal to 2m/s, or an operating height higher than or equal to 2m from the ground. Adults can bring children to play.

Including sightseeing cars, scooters, overhead tours, gyroscopes, flying towers, carousel, self-controlled aircraft, water amusement facilities, racing cars, small trains, bumper cars, battery cars, sightseeing cars class etc.

Passengers: Refers to the max number of passengers riding at the same time during the rated full-load operation of the equipment.

For single-car (column) passengers, it refers to the number of passengers that a connected train can accommodate at the same time.

Height: For the viewing car series, it refers to the vertical distance from the highest point of the turntable (or the cockpit in operation) to the installation base of the main column (the height of the lightning rod is not calculated; the value obtained above takes the maximum value).

For water amusement facilities, it refers to the maximum vertical distance between the passenger restraint support surface (such as the slide surface) and the installation base surface.

Rail height: refers to the vertical distance between the highest point of the contact surface between the wheel and the rail and the lowest point of the installation base of the rail bracket.

Running height: refers to the maximum vertical distance between the passenger restraint support surface (such as the seat surface) and the installation base during the movement.

For unpowered amusement facilities, it refers to the maximum vertical distance from the supporting surface of the passenger restraint (such as the slide surface, the bottom surface of the gondola, and the passenger standing surface of the inflatable amusement equipment) to the installation base, of which the operating height of the high-altitude jumping bungee refers to the Take off to the lowest drop on the water or ground.

One-sided swing angle: refers to the angle that the swing arm swinging around the horizontal axis deviates from the plumb line (maximum 180 degrees).

Swing diameter: For equipment that swings or rotates around the horizontal axis, it refers to the rotation diameter of its passenger restraint support surface (such as the seat surface) around the horizontal axis.

For gyroscopic equipment, it refers to the rotation diameter of the outermost edge of the passenger restraint support surface (such as the seat surface) when the main motion is rotated.

For equipment that rotates around a vertical axis, the diameter of the circle centered around the vertical axis at the outermost side of the seat or passenger restraint when it is stationary.

Chute length: refers to the total length of the sliding section and the lifting section of the chute.

Sliding cable length: refers to the oblique long distance between the fixed points of the bearing cable.

Inclination angle: refers to the equipment whose main motion (that is, the rotation of the turntable or the cockpit) rotates around the variable inclination angle axis, and the maximum included angle between the main motion rotation axis and the vertical direction.

Speed: refers to the maximum linear speed of the cockpit during the operation of the equipment, and water amusement facilities refer to the fastest speed reached by passengers.

The overall structure of the passenger part of the amusement facility running in the air should be firm and reliable. And insurance measures should be taken for its important parts.

The number of wire ropes or chains used for suspending the passenger part shall not be less than two. The connection with the seat part must be considered to be able to maintain balance when one is disconnected.

The door that closes the cockpit above 1m from the ground must be equipped with two locking devices or a locking device with safety that cannot be opened by passengers inside. Blocks at the entrance and exit of the non-enclosed cockpit should also have a locking device with safety.

When the amusement equipment is in operation, the power supply is suddenly cut off or the equipment fails, which endangers the safety of passengers, and an automatic or manual emergency stop device must be provided.

After the amusement equipment fails during operation, measures should be taken to relieve the passengers.

When the amusement equipment is in operation, when the passengers may be moved, collided or thrown out or slipped out of the ride, a passenger restraint device must be provided. For more dangerous amusement facilities, two sets of independent restraint devices should be considered if necessary. Seat belts, safety bars, stop bars, etc. can be used.

Restraint device: It should be reliable and comfortable, and the parts in direct contact with the passenger should have appropriate softness. The restraint device should be designed to prevent a certain part of the passenger from being pinched or crushed, and should be easy to adjust and operate.

Seat belt: It can be used alone on the facilities with slight swing or slow lifting speed, no flipping and no danger of being thrown out. The use of seat belts should generally be equipped with auxiliary handles. For intense sports facilities, seat belts can be used as auxiliary restraint devices.

Safety pressure bar: When the amusement facility is running, it may cause the danger of passengers being thrown out, a corresponding type of safety pressure bar must be installed; the safety pressure bar itself must have sufficient strength and locking force to ensure that tourists are not thrown out or dropped and remains locked until the device stops functioning.

Safety fences should be set at the entrance and exit respectively, and guide fences should be set at the entrance. The platform should have anti-skid measures.

The opening direction of the safety fence gate should be consistent with the direction of travel of passengers (except in special circumstances). In order to prevent injury to the hands of personnel when the door is closed, the gap between the door frame and the column should be appropriate, or other protective measures should be taken.

For amusement facilities that ride on and off while running, the entrance and exit of the passenger part should not be higher than 300 mm from the platform. The height of the entrance and exit of the passenger part of other amusement facilities from the platform should be easy to get on and off.

Amusement facilities should set up eye-catching safety signs in necessary places and parts. Safety signs are divided into four types: prohibition signs (red), warning signs (yellow), instruction signs (blue), and prompt signs (green).

No exposed sharp edges, sharp corners, burrs and dangerous protrusions are allowed where passengers can reach.

The culvert through which the amusement facilities pass should be made of materials that are not easy to fall off, and the decorations should be firmly fixed.

The passenger part must be marked with the number of occupants, and overloading is strictly prohibited.

Amusement facilities are carriers that operate in a specific area and carry tourists for entertainment. They are generally a combination of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and other systems. Like all mechanical and electrical products, they may fail. When a failure occurs, tourists will panic, be trapped, and others. Dangerous accident.

Sudden shutdown;

Mechanical fracture;

Fall from high altitude.

Amusement facilities are mostly composed of several systems, and the reasons for the failure are very complex. Most of them are caused by improper maintenance or untimely maintenance. Therefore, the prevention of failure focuses on strengthening daily maintenance and regular inspection and testing.

Emergency bullet points.

• If you feel unwell and feel unbearable during the game, you should remind the staff to stop.
• When the machine is shut down in an abnormal situation, do not tamper with or disarm the safety device by yourself. You should keep calm, obey the instructions of the staff, and wait for rescue.
• When emergencies such as accidental casualties occur, avoid panic, booing, and crowding, and organize personnel to evacuate in time.

Expert tips.

• When tourists play, they must first read the “Guidelines for Tourists” carefully, follow the explanations of the staff, and master the key points of play. People with high blood pressure and heart disease should not play items that are not suitable for their own bodies. Play a good guardian role when leading minors to play.
• Any amusement facility has corresponding safety protection devices. In the event of equipment failure, it is the best choice for tourists to remain calm, obey the command, and wait for rescue. It can reduce the severity of the accident and even avoid the occurrence of personal injury accidents.
