Abstract: Disclosed a system for managing admission into parks and attractions (25), a guest requests reservations via a kiosk unit (10) or purchase advanced ticket attraction packages via the internet (13) or through the phone. Once the reservations or purchase has been made, the confirmed reservation is printed onto a confirmation ticket (32) or guest card (30) and the data is uploaded into the system. The guest can then take their confirmation ticket (32) or guest card (30) at the appointed time and gain entry into the attraction through a barrier controlled by the controller unit (12). The controller unit (12) reads or scans the guest card and allows guests with advance reservations to gain entry without waiting in long lines. Alternatively, admission to the park is permitted only with advance reservations. As part of the advance reservation, each guests is assigned to menu group, with each menu group provided with assigned times for each attraction in the park.

Abstract: A theme park ride attraction (10) includes a flume path (12) having rafts (64) floating on flowing water. The rafts (64) are elevated and enter a pipe (32). First and second pivoting ramps (36, 52) are attached to the pipe (32) and supported by an actuator. As the rafts (64) enter onto the first pivoting ramp (36), the actuator quickly drops the first ramp (36) down, simulating a waterfall event.

Abstract: A dueling or racing roller coaster ride (10) has tracks (12, 14) which approach or cross over each other at near miss locations (70). A controller system (50) controls the timing of launch of a roller coaster vehicle on each track to better achieve consistent simultaneous arrival of the roller coaster vehicles at the near miss locations, to provide increased thrills and excitement to the riders. The control system determines the loaded vehicle weight via current draw on the track side vehicle motors. The control system generates a vehicle performance parameter, based on past vehicle speed over the track, to compensate for roller resistance and aerodynamic factors. The vehicle weight information and performance parameters are used to determine which vehicle to launch first, and the amount of delay between launching the vehicle on the first track and launching the vehicle on the second track, to better achieve simultaneous arrival at one or more locations.

Abstract: An image correction method of compensating for point of view image distortion in pictures includes the steps of obtaining an image at a first position within a predetermined frame, wherein at the first position the image is distorted due to point of view image distortion. The image obtained comprises an array of pixels. The distorted image is transformed into a compensated image by re-mapping the array of pixels of the distorted image using a predetermined transforming function that stretches the distorted image to fill the entire frame. The transformation function depends on the geometric orientation of the camera, projector, projecting surface, and viewer. The compensated image is projected at a second position (14) different from the first position, wherein the projection of the compensated image substantially reduces point of view image distortion at the first position. This method can be employed for stationary and moving point of views. The method is particularly helpful with amusement rides (8) for viewing 3D stereoscopic images.

Abstract: An underwater explosion effect simulator (10) includes a submerged shooter (30) for shooting props and dye-colored water through the water surface. A compressed air source (24) is linked to the shooter to drive the charge of water from the shooter during the explosion sequence. Prop pieces are ejected from the shooter through the water surface and trajectories over a submerged collector (70) substantially surrounding the shooter. The collector is displaceable through an underwater winching system (124) from a collect position wherein the props settle onto the collector to a funnel position wherein the props fall under gravity into the shooter. The shooter extends from a loading position below the collector to a shooting position close to the water surface.
