    Control Booth Screen In HM Loading Area

    Oh yes, absolutely. The Soarin PLC control room is impressive though, a lot of racks. The preshow video systems and audio systems are located there too. I am working on an older system now like you described.

    Control Booth Screen In HM Loading Area

    I can actually answer this! Those screens are known as HMIs (Human Machine Interface) and are connected to the ride safety/control system, which is a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). These do not have OS's per say, its just a screen that is told where data is in the PLC, and how to...

    Disney Springs construction begins

    Someone actually did ask, no pics were allowed. They talked about the story of the Springs and how the different neighborhoods grew around it and the different visual styles. The model itself was very cool. It was 3d printed and then used projection mapping to show the springs during both...

    Very small AK update!

    I'm gonna make the call now and say if they are screens, they will read the nearby wristbands and display the names of people nearby saying that their train will be departing soon like a sort of airport board with departing and arriving flights.

    Magic Band Accessories

    If anyone is there this week and would like to donate their magic band, I am looking to take it apart and see what I can reverse engineer from it. I won't be visiting the parks until late next week so it seems I'm out of luck.

    MagicBands WILL become a thing...

    Actually, it does need a battery as the wrist bands also contain a 2.4ghz radio, probably very similiar to the Nordic nrf24 series http://www.picshop.nl/images/NRF24L01P.jpg The rfid is passive like you said though.
