Abstract
An amusement apparatus having a rotary capsule, which comprises: a capsule having therein a seat, provided with a player restraining means; an inner frame arranged outside the capsule, for rotatably supporting the capsule through a first shaft; an intermediate frame arranged outside the inner frame, for rotatably supporting the inner frame through a second shaft extending in a direction different from that of the first shaft; and an outer frame arranged outside the intermediate frame, for rotatably supporting the intermediate frame through a third shaft extending in a direction different from those of the first shaft and the second shaft. The capsule, the inner frame and the intermediate frame rotate independently and selectively by the action of respective driving means.
