  • Such rides have proven themselves in the past and enjoy great popularity.
  • a disadvantage of such rides is that they do not have any means of quantitatively recording a game result, nor do they require special coordination and skill.
  • Such rides do not provide the Possibility of a shared experience in which several passengers can achieve a common goal through coordinated behavior.
  • the present invention therefore aims to propose an improved method for operating a ride and an improved ride for passengers that expediently eliminates the disadvantages of prior art rides.
  • the proposed method is intended to encourage and promote a collaborative experience and the skill of each passenger.
  • the method according to the invention with the features of patent claim 1 for operating a ride on a terrain with at least one vehicle, wherein the at least one vehicle has a drive device, at least one passenger seat for at least one passenger, and a storage area that can be filled with projectiles, is characterized in that the at least one vehicle can move on the terrain by means of a drive device and that at least one projectile can be removed from the storage area and fired at the instigation of the at least one passenger.
