    摘要: A dark ride tower system includes a tower having first and second levels. The first level includes a stationary room having stationary walls and the second level includes an adaptable room having adaptable walls configured to be rearranged into a plurality of physical configurations. The dark ride tower system also includes a lift system configured to alternatingly move a ride vehicle between the first and second levels. In addition, the dark ride tower system includes a first projection system configured to generate projection mapping on the stationary walls to simulate movement of the ride vehicle relative to the stationary room while the ride vehicle is disposed within the stationary room. The dark ride tower system also includes a second projection system configured to generate projection mapping on the adaptable walls to present a show scene while the ride vehicle is disposed within the adaptable room.

    摘要: A ride system includes a first ride vehicle having a first magnet exposed along a first exterior side of the first ride vehicle and a first additional magnet exposed along a first additional exterior side of the first ride vehicle. The ride system includes a second ride vehicle having a second magnet exposed along a second exterior side of the second ride vehicle and a second additional magnet exposed along a second additional exterior side of the second ride vehicle. The ride system includes a control system configured to control maneuvering of one or both of the first and second ride vehicles to: establish a coupling between the first magnet and the second magnet in a first configuration, establish a coupling between the first magnet and the second additional magnet in a second configuration, establish a coupling between the first additional magnet and the second magnet in a third configuration, establish a coupling between the first additional magnet and the second additional magnet in a fourth configuration.

    摘要: A ride system includes ride vehicles. Each ride vehicle includes a rider support configured to carry a rider, a support actuator coupled to the rider support and a base of the ride vehicle and configured to move the rider support relative to the base, and a ride vehicle movement system integrated with the base and configured to move the ride vehicle relative to a ride area. The ride system also includes a controller configured to control the support actuator and the ride vehicle movement system of each ride vehicle individually based on a choreographed routine and an input received from a selected ride vehicle. The input is indicative of an adjustment to the support actuator, the ride vehicle movement system, or both, of each ride vehicle. The input is based on a correlative adjustment to the support actuator, the ride vehicle movement system, or both, of the selected ride vehicle.
