The Enterprise is an amusement ride, manufactured primarily by HUSS Park Attractions and TECHNO PRODUCTIONS in 1972. The ride was an adaptation and improvement of a design produced earlier that year by Schwarzkopf, with an increased passenger capacity.〔 Despite not owning the original incarnation of the ride, HUSS was issued the patent.〔 The ride is named after USS ''Enterprise'' from the TV series ''Star Trek''. The backdrop is decorated with space-themed art and a silhouette of the starship ''Enterprise''. Enterprises are manufactured by HUSS, Schwarzkopf, and Heinz Fähtz; all sharing the name Enterprise. Both trailer and park versions have been created and in use. == Design and operation == In the ride, up to two people sit in one of 20 gondolas arranged in a circle, one in front of the other.〔 The ride moves clockwise, dispelling a slight amount of centrifugal force.〔 A hydraulically powered arm underneath the ride then raises and tilts the frame so that the ride is rotating at 87° from the horizontal, transforming the ride from a horizontal experience to a nearly vertical one.〔 On most Enterprise models there are no safety restraints; the force applied to the riders is sufficient to keep them pinned in their seats,〔 however, some models have been fitted with seat belts. Most parks and carnivals require riders to be at least 48 inches tall, though it is not uncommon to see restrictions as much as 54 inches or more. The transportable version of the ride racks onto two trailers, the first carrying the wheel, arm, and drive systems while the second is loaded with the gondolas, platforms, and any additional equipment.〔 The first trailer also acts as the base of the ride while in operation.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Enterprise (ride)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
