Abstract (en)
[origin: JP2002085857A] PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a free falling tower which is added with a thrill, is, in addition, extremely diversified in courses and more particularly is changeable in designs (even at a relatively narrow site). SOLUTION: This free falling tower for a roller coaster includes nearly perpendicular or exactly perpendicular rail systems for passenger units (the units move from the bottom end to the top end of the tower). From this place, the passenger units can fall by gravity and in succession, arrive at the courses of the roller coaster. In the region at the top end of the tower, the fixed passenger unit are rotated around a nearly perpendicular or exactly perpendicular axis and such passenger units can eventually fall by gravity on the other rails of the tower. Consequently, the fresh final boarding effect may be obtained in combination with the course of the roller coaster, more particularly the second tower of a similar structure.
