What kind of amusement ride is a pirate ship?
Date: 2025-12-12
The pirate ship is a classic amusement ride, belonging to the category of sightseeing vehicles that swing back and forth around a horizontal axis. Its design is inspired by the image of ancient pirate ships, typically featuring an exterior decorated in the style of Native American tribes. The following is a detailed introduction to the pirate ship ride:
1. Basic Structure and Operating Principle
Structural Composition: The pirate ship generally consists of a passenger cabin, support frame, suspension system, power system (driven by an electric motor or hydraulic motor), platform, and electrical control system. The cabin is designed in a ship shape and equipped with safety bars, seat belts, and other protective devices.
Operation Mode: After startup, the ship gradually accelerates from a slow swing to a rapid swing, with a maximum swing angle of 60 degrees and a maximum speed of approximately 32 km/h, simulating the thrill of undulating waves.
2. Equipment Types and Features
Large Pirate Ships: Suitable for parks or amusement parks, such as a 36-seat pirate ship, occupying approximately 10 x 15 meters, with a swing amplitude of 10.2 meters, accommodating multiple riders simultaneously, and utilizing high-strength steel and an intelligent safety system. Miniature Pirate Ships: Commonly found at temple fairs or squares, such as antique-style, snow-themed (blue and white decorations), and coconut tree-themed (green theme) models, convenient for mobile operation.
Special Designs: Some pirate ships feature decorative elements such as pirate captains and dragon heads to enhance the themed atmosphere.
3. Safety Measures
Multiple Protections: Includes safety bars, seat belts, secondary safety steel cables (to prevent suspension shaft breakage), and swing limit switches (to prevent excessive swaying).
Emergency Braking: Equipped with an electronic control system and sensors, allowing operators to stop the equipment in an emergency.
4. Experience
Passengers will experience a gradual swaying motion, creating a feeling of weightlessness and g-force, as if they were on a raging storm, suitable for thrill-seeking tourists.
5. Suitable Users and Precautions
Restrictions: Children under 1.2 meters tall must be accompanied by an adult; people with heart disease or high blood pressure are not suitable to ride.
Prohibited Items: Items that are easily dropped (such as mobile phones and keys) and dangerous goods.
