Simulator ride

A system comprising:

• a bogie configured to move along a track;
• a motion base;
• a plurality of cables suspending the motion base from cable control assemblies coupled to the bogie to permit the motion base to move with six degrees of freedom;
• an extending portion fixedly coupled to the motion base and extending in a direction away from the bogie;
• a passenger support system configured to move between a passenger loading configuration and a ride configuration via rotation of the passenger support system relative to the extending portion;
• and
• a ride controller coupled to the cable control assemblies and a passenger support controller and storing instructions in a memory that, when executed by a processor, cause the passenger support controller to move between the passenger loading configuration and the ride configuration.

A flying simulator ride assembly comprising:

• a track;
• a bogie coupled to the track;
• a motion base;
• a plurality of cables extending from one or more cable control assemblies coupled to the bogie and suspending the motion base from the bogie such that the motion base is capable of motion in six degrees of freedom;
• a passenger support system configured to support passengers of the flying simulator ride and coupled to the motion base, wherein the passenger support system comprises
• a first passenger row;
• and
• a second passenger row, wherein one or both of the first passenger row or the second passenger row is configured to move relative to the motion base to move between a ride configuration and a loading configuration and wherein the first passenger row and the second passenger row are oriented towards a display screen in the ride configuration.
