TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a falling amusement game that is capable of free-falling after a player has placed a game thereon and enjoying thrill.

¾ Technology

The fall amusement device raises the seat on which the player is placed, then falls freely, and enjoys the thrill of the fall at that time.Therefore, the higher the position where the player begins to fall, the greater the excitement and excitement It is.

In the past, traditionally, erect towers or towers were set up, and the game was actually raised to a considerable height.

Therefore, the columns and towers were constructed so as to rise high in the wide outdoors, and the installation locations were naturally limited.

Special! Since it is almost impossible to install the equipment in this area, the number of installations was small in the end. ¾ (| JI disclosure

The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and its purpose is to provide the same thrill of dropping as before even though the height of the device itself is kept low. In providing a game device.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is directed to a fall amusement device for dropping a seat supported so as to be able to move up and down, wherein an illusion generating means for causing a player seated on the seat to make a sensory illusion to altitude is provided. It was equipped with a fall amusement device.

Since the illusion generating means gives the player sitting on the seat a sensory illusion of altitude, the illusion that the player is dropped from a considerably high position, even if the device itself is low, causes the same illusion as before. You can enjoy the thrill of falling. Therefore, the installation place of the device is rarely limited, and the number of installations increases. Can be achieved.

t] i] "Recording means: Lighting means are provided in front of the ascending and descending seats, and a large number of lights are provided in the upper and lower directions I, and blinking control means for sequentially blinking the plurality of lighters vertically in one direction. It may be a falling game device consisting of:

When the flash control means vertically flashes a number of light emitters arranged in a row, the player who is sitting on the seat and watching the flash of these light emitters actually stops. You can create the illusion that you are ascending, and conversely, if you flash the light emitters sequentially, you can create the illusion that you are falling even if it actually stops. .

The blinking control means may be a falling game device that blinks the light-emitting device sequentially in the opposite direction simultaneously with raising and lowering of the seat, so that the light-emitting device can be used when the player is actually rising together with the seat. Blinking downwards creates an illusion that the upper field speed is faster than it actually is.On the other hand, if the light emitters are blinking upward sequentially on the field base that is actually descending, it will be faster than the actual lower speed. It can also give the illusion of being fast.

Further, the illusion generating means may be a falling game device comprising a moving body that moves vertically in front of a seat that moves up and down, and a drive control means that moves the moving body in one direction.

When the edict control means moves the moving body downward, the player sitting on the seat looks at the moving body moving downward in front of him, and as if he actually stopped, as if Θ minutes had risen If you give the illusion that you are moving and move the moving object upwards, you can create the illusion that you are actually falling even if you are stopped.

The is control means is a falling game device that moves the moving body in the opposite direction at the same time as raising and lowering the seat, thereby moving the moving body downward when the player is actually moving up with the seat. The illusion that the ascending speed is faster than it actually is, and the illusion that the moving speed is faster than the actual Can be.

In addition, the illusion generating means blocks an elevating space of the seat from outside by a side wall, forms a window at a predetermined height position in a side wall in front of the seat, and the window regulates a field of view of a player seated on the seat. It may be a falling amusement device that is configured so that a part of the lower world is invisible Yes,

When the player sits on the seat, the ascending and descending sky f, which is cut off from the outside world, is raised to make it difficult to grasp the Sensibility Party accurately, and then when the outside world is seen through the window formed at the predetermined height, the lower world The view can be restricted so as not to cover a part of the scene, and a party can be created that seems to be at a high position.

A tower that forms a space for raising and lowering the seats is erected inside the building, and the top of the tower is concealed by a dolphin. When Yugi looks up at the tower, the top of the building is invisible, and the tower creates an illusion that the tower penetrates the ceiling and rises high. In fact, it feels like it has risen to a very high, if not high, ■

First, the player P who enters the cabin 17 from the entrance 12 through the passage 1G enters the cabin 17 and the door 18 is opened.p) f The player P descends from the cabin 21 which is stopped at a fixed descent position. Enter 21 and sit on bench sheet 22. Lower the safety par provided to the front of bench sheet 22 so that it can be freely swayed, and put on attached head horn 52 on head. From head horn 52 In the old days, a three-dimensional sound field is formed, and the player P can listen to the sound effect and the inside of.

When the door 18 is closed, the inside of the bin 21 becomes dark, and the player P hears only the sound of the head horn) 2. Then hook the hook II 32 (together with the hook and connect it to the cabin 21).

Then, the take-up drum 30 is lifted up through the pulling trolley 30 by the winding of the wire drum 43 of the winding drum 42.

The player まず first sees the image of the Τ V monitor 150 as shown in FIG. 5, and provides guidance to the main falling game together with the sound of the headphone 52.

ると After passing the V monitor 50, you can see the flashing light 51 as shown in Fig. 6 with a slight acceleration.

Since the bar light 51 blinks sequentially in the downward direction, the player Ρ may have a downward helix I, or as if he / she is climbing at a higher speed than the actual climb speed. Get the illusion.

This will to pause the past the Parai Bok 51, the player in front of shut motor one 1 4 opens the F, _c windows can see the player Ρ is lower bound through the window 15 as shown in FIG. 7 15 regulates the visibility of the player P, so that a protruding part like the veranda of the lower third floor 5 and the lower second floor 4 is visible, and the first floor 2 is not visible or visible. You will feel the illusion that each floor you see in the department is a very high floor.

Player P has already memorized the illusion of the height of tower 11 before entering, the sensation of climbing in the dark, and the illusion of climbing speed by parlight 51. The illusion of popping the world is great, and you will feel that it has risen to a point that is much higher than it actually is.

At this point, the shutter 14 closes, and the take-up drum 42 reversely rotates, causing the cabinet 21 to drop once by about 3 m, causing a fall of I, which agitates the fear and raises it again to release the connection. Unlock the hook main body 28 by releasing the lock 45 and release the connection, and then let the cabin 21 be free.
