How high is the sounding shuttle in Jinjiang Paradise?

I remember it was 56 meters, but now it's dismantled.

Brief Introduction of "Sound Shuttle" Amusement Machine I. What is "Sound Shuttle"

"Sounding spacecraft" is a newly developed high-tech amusement equipment integrating machinery, hydraulics, computer control and network technology at the end of the 20th century. Some people call it a vertical "roller coaster". The international amusement community calls it the ultimate amusement equipment that challenges the limits of mankind in this century. After passengers board the equipment, the cockpit is powered by compressed air, and is ejected to an altitude of more than 40 meters at a speed of more than 20 meters per second along the vertical track, and then falls like a free fall, and then is ejected again. After this cycle twice, the cockpit is slowly lowered by the orderly released compressed air until the platform. This is an extremely exciting and very safe amusement equipment. People use "sounding spacecraft" to describe the personal feelings of passengers flying into space like astronauts. Although this is not exactly the same as the real space launch, passengers can get the initial impression of astronauts taking off from it, which is simply unforgettable. On the other hand, the equipment can make cyclists feel many physical concepts directly, and make the knowledge in books more intuitive and in-depth. Such as the conversion of electric energy, air pressure and mechanical energy, overcoming gravity, positive and negative acceleration, free fall, weightlessness, gas spring and so on.

Second, the development history of "sounding shuttle" equipment

189 1 year, someone conceived an amusement machine for 1893 Chicago World Trade Conference: about 12 people were accommodated in a bullet-shaped cockpit, dragged to the top of the tower 1000 feet high, and then plunged into the pool. Perhaps fortunately, the amusement machine at that time could not be put into practice. But since then, the idea of free fall has always fascinated thrill seekers.

The rapid development of science and technology has made people's dreams come true more than a century ago. Since 1989, S&; S Group has been committed to introducing various vertical drop amusement machines to the market. First, they made a new safe bungee tower, and introduced a device combining bungee jumping and trampoline at 1993. 1994 began to make new breakthroughs. Standard & Poor's. S company began to manufacture and sell the vertical drop amusement machine named "Sounding Shuttle". Stan. Stan Chez invented this device and holds an American patent for the "space shuttle" theory.

1March 1998, 28 "space shuttles" and "steam hammers" have been erected in 22 different cities, and another 23 are under construction in 15 city. In this way, there are 5 1 stations in 37 cities in 16 countries. It is reported that there are at least 120 such devices in the world, attracting thousands of tourists, especially young tourists, almost every day.

Today, only a few companies in the world can design and manufacture this kind of vertically falling entertainment machine to satisfy these thrill seekers. This can really be said to be the ultimate "roller coaster" feeling. This kind of amusement machine is not only highly shocking, but also really creates a new world of amusement machines.

3. Why are park operators keen on sounding buses?

The popularity of this amusement machine is not only the feeling when riding. This device is so popular for several reasons:

1. They don't occupy much land and need a circular floor with a diameter of about 30 feet.

2. The tower structure makes them obvious landmarks of amusement parks;

3. They don't consume too much electricity when they work;

4. The maintenance workload is small, and the time that can't be done in one year is also short;

5. It is very flexible to use, which can shorten the single cycle time and "drop" several times during peak hours.

6. This amusement machine is very suitable for installation in different places;

7, and her cost is less than 50% of the roller coaster.

Many amusement park owners with this equipment are greeted with smiles. They spent very little money and only used 30 feet of land, but they built a landmark building and added a challenging amusement equipment, which brought a steady stream of business income to the amusement park.

Four, the main technical parameters of the "sounding shuttle"

The amusement equipment of "Space Shuttle" can take a single group as an independent operation unit, or it can be three-in-one or four-in-one according to the needs of users and the actual situation of the site. The main technical parameters of its single group are:

Total height of equipment: 56m.

Floor space:15m2

Passenger/time: 16 people

Running time/time: 3 minutes

Passenger flow/hour: 320 people

Installed power: 100 kW

Working mechanism and safety facilities of the "sound shuttle" amusement machine.

"Sound Shuttle" amusement equipment is mainly composed of vertical frame, lift car, air cylinder, air storage tank, air compressor, air dryer, lubrication system, control system and lighting system.

The running process of the "sound shuttle" amusement machine is completed by the compression and release of gas. Air enters the air storage tank through an air compressor and an air dryer. When the computer finishes passenger weighing and launch pressure calculation, compressed air inflates the launch box according to the calculated value. When the air pressure reaches the rated value, the open passenger car will be ejected to an altitude of about 43 meters along the vertical frame with a height of 50 meters in 2-3 seconds. Then, according to the program set by the computer, the whole operation process of free fall, vibration and slow descent will be completed through the orderly release of compressed air, and finally it will return to the platform smoothly.

The safety facilities of the equipment can be divided into two parts: air pressure protection device and passenger safety device. The air compressor itself is equipped with overpressure protection device, and the air storage tank and launch tank are also equipped with overpressure protection device. Air pressure overpressure protection and the design of cylinder piston stroke prevent the possibility of car roof rushing. The orderly release of compressed air according to the computer program and four groups of gas-liquid buffers at the bottom of the vertical frame can prevent the elevator from falling, but it can only be an orderly soft landing. Passenger seats are equipped with hydraulic bumpers and aviation safety belts that can only be controlled by equipment operators, which can ensure the absolute safety of passengers.

The equipment adopts the PLC control system of Omron Company in Japan, and professional programmers program it according to the needs of equipment operation. In particular, the controller has an automatic equipment detection program. Once a link of the equipment is abnormal, the equipment will not run. Only after troubleshooting can the equipment run normally, which fundamentally ensures the reliability and safety of the equipment. Touch the operating system of the display screen to make the equipment operation simple and intuitive; For the first time, network technology is used to realize remote monitoring in different places, and the latest technology realizes network after-sales service on amusement equipment, so that users can enjoy the efficient and convenient benefits brought by high technology.

The core difficulties of the equipment are the processing of long, high-speed, high-temperature and large-caliber cylinders, the design of pistons and piston rings, the selection of materials and the determination and availability of processing technology to ensure the high reliability and service life of the equipment.

Detailed and popular operation and maintenance manual, coupled with enthusiastic and thoughtful training for users, hands-on guidance, practice and implementation of assessment plan, enable users to quickly familiarize themselves with and master equipment operation and maintenance knowledge in a short time, so as to be able to work independently.

Shanghai Amusement Machine Engineering Co., Ltd. successfully built four 16-seat "sound shuttle" amusement machines in Beijing Shijingshan Amusement Park, Shanghai Jinjiang Amusement Park, Wuhan Zhongshan Park and Changchun Shengli Park.
