Patent attributes
The present invention discloses a novel Game-Ride System: a game in which people can physically ride the playing pieces. Simultaneously it is a physical ride whose passengers, via their vehicles, can be “played with” and, in certain embodiments, wagered upon. A typical application incorporates an overall electronic game control subsystem adapted to playing a particular kind of game, accepting input from one or more playing consoles (whether local or remote), and issuing various commands for display of game progress and outcomes. However, in the present invention, the display means is very much augmented, involving a physical ride subsystem where people are riding on or in actual physical elements of the game being played. Such a correlation of, and interaction between, ride and game provide novel and exciting entertainment for player, rider and observer.
