    摘要: This invention refers to a costume apparatus for enabling a user to perform or engage in role-play activities. The costume apparatus may be worn on a user's body, and comprises a character head suitable for covering a head of an individual or user (e.g., having a chicken head appearance); a body pod (e.g., having a chicken skin and chicken body appearance and, optionally, a tail portion); a glove (which can also be a portion of a bodysuit suitable for covering an arm of an individual or user (e.g., having a chicken wing skin appearance); a leg covering (such as leggings or a bodysuit) suitable for covering legs of an individual or user (e.g., having a chicken leg appearance, optionally comprising fishnet stockings or the appearance of fishnet stockings); a removable body pod cover (e.g., having a chicken feather appearance, such as manufactured from artificial fur material); or a glove cover (e.g., having a feathered chicken wing appearance, such as manufactured from an artificial fur material).

    摘要: An amusement park attraction effects system includes a dynamic display for viewing by a user traveling through an attraction, a display monitor to provide status data indicative of a status of the dynamic display, a location identification system to determine a location of the user, a thrust-vectoring flow effect generator to generate and direct a fluid flow toward any particular target location of a range of target locations, and an automation controller communicatively coupled to the display monitor, the location identification system, and the thrust-vectoring flow effect generator. The automation controller is configured to receive the status data, receive the location of the user, set a target location based on the location of the user, instruct the thrust-vectoring flow effect generator to direct the fluid flow based on the target location, and instruct the thrust-vectoring flow effect generator to control the fluid flow based on the status data.

    摘要: A fog machine supplies air to a fog liquid reservoir to force the fog liquid into a heater, wherein the fog liquid vaporizes to produce fog. The fog liquid supply to the heater can be halted, and the air supply can then be used to purge the heater of residual fog liquid. Within the heater, the fog liquid travels from outer passages further from the heating element(s) to inner passages closer to the heating element(s), whereby the fog liquid is preheated prior to vaporization, resulting in a higher degree of vaporization and “drier” fog with finer vapor particles. The fog machine may draw fog liquid from an “offboard” fog liquid reservoir, such as an off-the-shelf jug of liquid, and is preferably remote-controllable via a user's smartphone.
