CAR WITH ROTATABLY MOUNTED WHEEL AXLE FOR A FAIRGROUND RIDE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A ROTATABLY MOUNTED WHEEL AXLE OF SUCH A CAR
CAR WITH ROTATABLY MOUNTED WHEEL AXLE FOR A FAIRGROUND RIDE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A ROTATABLY MOUNTED WHEEL AXLE OF SUCH A CAR Disclosed is a car (110) for a fairground ride (100) with at least one wheel axle arranged on a rotatable carrier structure (117) and a coupling element (120) for coupling a further car (150), wherein the coupling element (120) for coupling a further car (150) is movably mounted and is connected to the rotatable carrier structure (117) via a mechanical operative connection (130) so that a movement of the coupling element (120) leads to a rotation of the rotatable carrier structure (117) and of the wheel axle arranged thereon and a rotation of the rotatable carrier structure (117) leads to a movement of the coupling element (120), and a method for controlling the rotation of a rotatably mounted carrier structure (117) of a wheel axle of a car (110) of a fairground ride (100) with a movably mounted coupling element (120) for coupling a further car (150), wherein a position change, caused by the track geometry, of the relative position of the car (110) of the fairground ride (100) in relation to the other car (150) is translated into a position change of the movably mounted coupling element (120), and the position change of the movably mounted coupling element (120) is transferred via a mechanical operative connection (130) to a rotation of the rotatable carrier structure (117).
