First Claim
1. A system for a tilting amusement ride installed in a supporting structure and intended to bring a rider from a standing vertical position, to a tilted position while the rider remains prone, comprising:
- a) a tilting platform comprising at least one cell to accommodate a rider;
b) at least one actuator attached at its extending end to said platform by a pivoting attachment, wherein said actuator extends to tilt said platform and retracts to retract said platform;
c) at least one back post attached to said at least one actuator at its fixed end by a pivoting attachment and securely attached to said structure; and
d) a supporting frame attached to said platform by a rotational pivot, wherein said platform tilts about said pivot and wherein said frame is securely attached to said structure;
wherein said platform has an angle of tilt between 15 and 45 degrees.
