Amusement ride for hang gliding simulation

An amusement ride, comprising:

• a plurality of main arms;
• at least one motor adapted to move the main arms along a circular path about a central axis arranged substantially vertical to the ground and/to a platform, the main arms being rotatable about a rotation axis so that a first portion extends with respect to the rotation axis, the rotation of the main arm about the rotation axis allowing at least the first portion of the main arm to be raised or lowered with respect to the ground;
• at least one seat for at least one rider connected to the first portion of the main arm;
• at least one movable aerodynamic surface;
• and
• a control device adapted to modify an angle of incidence of the aerodynamic surface with respect to air flow impacting the aerodynamic surface during rotation of the main arm about the central axis to cause raising or lowering movements of the first portion of the main arm and of the at least one seat connected to the main arm;
• wherein:
• the at least one seat is rotatably connected to the first portion of the main arm about a further rotation axis,
• the at least one seat freely rotates with respect to the main arm,
• the at least one seat is connected to the main arm by a support arm, and
• the at least one aerodynamic surface is constrained to an upper part of the support arm to which the at least one seat is constrained.
