Ride simulation system

A ride simulation system comprising:

• a ride casing of a capsule-like form, which is capable of accommodating a plurality of human beings therein;
• a driving mechanism for driving the ride casing;
• a wide curve screen disposed at a front of the ride casing within the ride casing;
• a plurality of projectors disposed at a rear of the ride casing within the ride casing for projecting on divided areas on the curve screen, which areas are assigned to the projectors respectively, so that a single image is displayed thereon;
• and
• a plurality of seats arranged in a multistage condition within the ride casing so that crews sitting thereon are opposite to the curve screen, the seats disposed on a front side stage being lower than the seats disposed on a rear side stage, each row of the seats on the stages being arranged so as to describe a gentle arc so that crews sitting thereon easily direct their eyes toward the center of the curve screen in a horizontal direction;
• wherein the projectors are arranged so as to cross the optical axes thereof at a position in front of the curve screen.

• and
• wherein the ride simulation system further comprises an operation device provided on or near the seat, which can be shifted from a waiting aisle position to an operating position by the crew sitting on the seat.

• and
• wherein the ride simulation system further comprises a plate member provided between a door installed at an entrance to the ride casing and a position opposed to the entrance on a platform, which plate is capable of assuming a vertical position for preventing access to and from the entrance, and a lying position for allowing access to and from the entrance, so that the plate member covers a gap between the ride casing and the platform and operates as a step which connects a floor surface of the entrance with a top surface of the platform when the plate member assumes the lying position.
