gravity and carousel centripetal force. Direction is provided by module orientation. Includes a six times

acceleration of gravity (6 g) life-after-death ride. The ride experience can be radically changed and even

customized for each patron without changing the expensive physical structures. Patron activity is tracked, so

they can continue their theme park experience at a later date, and thereby motivate their rapid return. Developed
