Summary:The invention relates to an amusement ride having a base (1) to which is fastened at least one pivotable or rotatable support (2) for holding rows of seats (4) mounted in gondolas (3, 8) on the support, the gondolas (3, 8) being movable on the support (2) at least in the vertical direction in relation to the base, and the rows of seats (4) being rotatable or pivotable in the gondolas (3, 8) in at least two planes which are perpendicular to each other. According to the invention, the support (2) contains at least two gondolas (3, 8) which are formed by frames (5, 6, 7) which interlock in a Cardan suspension, as a result of which the rows of seats (4) are mounted by Cardan suspension in the gondolas (3, 8) and are movable in three planes which are perpendicular to one another. While one of the gondolas (8) can be loaded and unloaded in its starting position, other gondolas (3) fastened to the support can be operated in a predefined movement program.
