In this way, unwanted overhead positions can be avoided. In addition, can be achieved in relation to the route with a rotatably mounted and guided above the passenger seat vehicle compensation, or a swinging out according to the heavy or weight of the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle due to centrifugal forces caused by the curve movements swing out.
  • the route is at least partially guided substantially vertically parallel to the vertical axis of the support structure.
  • the guide track can be performed in extreme cases and with the shortest distance in a straight line (thus perpendicular, or perpendicular to the perpendicular at 90 degrees to the horizontal).
