For all those that get bored (patents)

I was searching through the interenet yesterday when I came upon a site that lists all the roller coaster, thrill rides, ferris wheels, water rides, etc. patents ever filed! I hope you all enjoy this!

Thanks, this is one of the cooest sites I have seen for us coaster geeks. In just a few minutes, I have looked at the patents for SFGAm's Whizzer and BTR. Everyday, I am amazed by what is available on the web. I just went back and found the patent for X. Patent was applied for on 9/6/01, but not granted until 2/25/03 to S&S.

Now this is quite interesting. Werner Stengal never ceases to amaze me.

Well, uh, that's quite an interesting ride isn't it? What exactly is it? I don't understand all of the text.

EDIT: I found this one very interesting as well. Click images to see what I mean.
