Ride Idea (Roller Coaster)

The ride would involve a small rollercoaster vehicle. Holding 20-24 people. You load in a station. The vehicle moves forward through a set of doors that open and then close. Your vehicle enters a room and you feel the vehicle lock into place. The ride become a motion simulator. You watch a video however at the end of the video the vehicle slopes forward and suddenly the vehilcle unlocks from the motion base and you are sent through a normal rollercoaster type ride with theming and music of course.

To handle hourly capacity you can have two/three motion simulator rooms and have two tracks that slide into place to direct the vehicles.

What do you guys think of this type of ride. It is new and different while still buildable.

I'll like the idea if you get rid of the roller coaster part & replace it with more simulators.

That is a cool idea, but it would be very mechaincally difficult to build.

Not exactly considering that the vehicle is small so the weight isn't that high and there are already motion simulator that are large in size and capible of handling the rollercoaster vehicle. The only hard part would be the locking however using a hole in the vehicle bottom that a bolt is slid through and a friction break would hold the vehicle in place. Also the ride does not turn to much just enough to set the mood.

That sounds like a very inventive idea.
