    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a ride effect coordination system that includes a ride vehicle and sensors that detect the ride vehicle positioning along the ride path. The sensors communicate the ride vehicle positioning data as position data to other controllers in the system. The ride effect coordination system includes an audio system to play audio for one or more riders of the vehicle, and an effect system configured to present a special effect that can be observed from the ride path. A controller may receive the position data and determine a timeframe for ride vehicle positioning so that the one or more riders can observe the special effect. The controller may also control the audio system to adjust play of the audio to coordinate a portion of audio with presentation of the special effect and the positioning of the ride vehicle based on the timeframe.

    摘要: A special effect system may include a steam generator, a reheater, and a steam separator configured to generate dry steam. The steam generator is coupled to a show element comprising a one or more compartments. Steam from the steam generator passes through the reheater and the steam separator before entering the one or more compartments such that condensate is removed and cooling of the steam within the system between the steam generator and the show element is remedied.

    摘要: A special effect system may include fog generation equipment configured to generate fog, a show element comprising one or more compartments, and a controller communicatively coupled to the fog generation equipment. The fog generation equipment may include one or more positive pressure sources and one or more negative pressure sources. The controller may perform operations comprising applying negative pressure from the one or more negative pressure sources to the one or more compartments for a period of time, permitting the fog to enter the one or more compartments after the period of negative pressure, and applying a positive pressure from the one or more positive pressure sources to cause the fog to exit the one or more compartments to trigger a combustion effect.
