Abstract
A snow and water sliding carrier for amusement center has a body having a general shape of a torus having a central opening, a floor member that closes the central opening, and has an opposite side defining a bottom member, such that the floor member is concave and the bottom member is convex. The bottom member extends beyond the floor member and is co-joined with the outside wall, and includes a plurality of threaded receptacles adapted to receive respective threaded nipples, wherein each threaded nipple is adapted to be threaded into a respective receptacle in varying amounts, such that a predetermined rotation of the sliding carrier is induced and controlled.

A snow and water sliding carrier for an amusement center ride comprising a body having a general shape of a torus having a central opening;
- a floor member that closes said central opening, and has an opposite side defining a bottom member, such that said floor member is concave and said bottom member is convex;
- an outside perimeter of said body defining an outside wall, and an inside perimeter including a plurality of integral seat, seat bottom, and seat back portions, such that each said seat bottom extends upwards from said floor member and connects with each respective seat, each said seat then connects with a respective seat back, and then each said seat back connects with said outside wall, thereby forming a single monolithic structure;
- said bottom member extends beyond said floor member and is co-joined with said outside wall, and includes a plurality of threaded receptacles adapted to receive respective threaded nipples, wherein each threaded nipple is adapted to be threaded into a respective receptacle in varying amounts, such that a predetermined rotation of said sliding carrier is induced and controlled.
An amusement center ride comprising a sliding surface and a sliding carrier, said sliding surface adapted to hold and allow sliding and rotational motions of a sliding carrier down an inclined and twisting path:
- and said sliding carrier comprising a body having a size adapted to fit within said sliding surface, and general shape of a torus having a central opening;
- a floor member that closes said central opening, and has an opposite side defining a bottom member, such that said floor member is concave and said bottom member is convex;
- an outside perimeter of said body defining an outside wall, and an inside perimeter including a plurality of integral seat, seat bottom, and seat back portions, such that each said seat bottom extends upwards from said floor member and connects with each respective seat, each said seat then connects with a respective seat back, and then each said seat back connects with said outside wall, thereby forming a single monolithic structure;
- said bottom member extends beyond said floor member and is co-joined with said outside wall, and includes a plurality of threaded receptacles adapted to receive respective threaded nipples, wherein each threaded nipple is adapted to be threaded into a respective receptacle in varying amounts, such that a predetermined rotation of said sliding carrier with respect to said sliding surface is induced and controlled.
