Abstract
An amusement ride system and method are described. In some embodiments, an amusement ride system may be generally related to water amusement attractions and rides. Further, the disclosure generally relates to water-powered rides and to a system and method in which participants may be more involved in a water attraction. An amusement ride system may include system for conveying a participant from a first source of water to a second source of water. The system may include one or more fluid jets. The fluid jets may function to produce a fluid stream having a predetermined velocity which is selectively greater, less than, or the same as a velocity of a participant at each of the fluid jet locations and are oriented tangentially with respect to the surface of the source of water so as to contact a participant and/or participant vehicle. An amusement ride system may include a system for controlling a participant flow rate through a multi path water amusement ride system. The system may include at least one gate mechanism which functions, upon activation, to inhibit a participant from entering one or more path choices. An amusement ride system may include a system for facilitating entry of a participant on a floatation device. The system may include one or more portions of water including a depth of water which allows a participant to more easily enter a floatation device.

a first belt; wherein the first belt is coupled to a first source of water and to a second source of water;
a second belt; wherein the second belt is coupled to the first source of water and to a third source of water, and wherein a first portion of the first and second belts are positioned substantially adjacent to each other;
a first belt movement system, configured to move at least the first belt in a loop;
a second belt movement system, configured to move at least the second belt in a loop; and at least one gate mechanism positioned adjacent the first portions of the first and second belts, wherein at least one of the gate mechanisms is configured, upon activation, to inhibit a participant from entering the first belt and/or the second belt.
5. The system of claim 4, further comprising a control system coupled to at least the gate mechanism, wherein the control system is configured to monitor a flow of participants.
6. A system for facilitating entry of a participant on a floatation device, comprising:
a first belt; wherein the first belt is coupled to a first source of water and to a second source of water; and a first belt movement system, configured to move the first belt in a loop;
wherein the first source of water and/or the second source of water comprises a portion adjacent the first belt, wherein the portion of the first and/or second source of water comprises a depth of water which allows a participant to enter a floatation device.
a first belt; wherein the first belt is coupled to a first source of water and to a second source of water; and a first belt movement system, configured to move the first belt in a loop;
wherein the first source of water and/or the second source of water comprises a portion adjacent the first belt, wherein the portion of the first and/or second source of water comprises a depth of water which allows a participant to enter a floatation device.
7. The system of claim 6, wherein the depth of water ranges from 1 to 3 feet.
8. The system of claim 1, wherein the fluid jets are oriented tangentially with respect to the surface of the source of water so as to contact a participant and/or participant vehicle as a participant and/or participant vehicle passes by each of the locations.
9. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the fluid jets is configured to move a participant and/or participant vehicle toward and/or away from the first belt.
