I have always been intrigued with the prospect of making motion simulators REAL. Some of you may remember 'Mission to Bermuda Triangle' that played at sea world for awhile. This borrows from it somewhat. This new ride would be a part of the living seas, and would be added onto it in between the land and the living seas, making a new building to house it. Out fornt of the living seas, a sign would welcome you to the sea base alpha dispatch station, and owuld offer two methods of getting to sea base alpha. ONe, by using the currenyt hydrolators, and two, by taking the sea rovers to the station. It would also indicate that the sea rovers offer a tour of a sunken spanish galleion as part of the tour. Those who choose the rovers would go to the left, and enter into the queue area, weaving around some undersea exhibits, which would feature alot of information on undersea volcano's and earthquakes <hint hint, wink wink> So, you finally get to your rovers. I haven't decided on which rover I like better. I have two designs, both of which are available below. It is important to notice that both are able to drop the car quite a bit, and that both are abale to spin the car 360 degrees in a corkscrew like fashion. The cars them selves would resemble submarines of course. You would enter into them, and the seating would be very similar to ToT. I'm not sure If I want to have them enclosed, or opened. Enclosed, it would look more realistic, but you have to take into account air circulation and such. I am going more for leavign them open, but I'm not sure. The sub would move through coral reefs. Lighting would be moving about and an aquamarine color, making it look like you're underwater. AFter floating through some coral reefs, you would find the sunken ship and go in, the first thing you would be greeted by would be a ship beam that would fall, hitting your ship, not causing any major damage, but making your ship falter and shake. AFter a short tour, featuring many quick ascencding and descending manuvers <guranteed 'air time' suppliers> you would exit and begin to head back to the sea base, upon exiting the ship, an under sea volcano goes off, blowing billows of black smoke out, rocks fall, and one hits your sub, forcing it into a fault line that has opened up. Now your sub is moving through a canyon, rocks and boulders falling, while smoke shoots out throgh the water, your car rocks back and forth, and spins around trying to dodge the debris, hitting some now and then. After awhile, it seems like the quake is over, and your sub rests on a rock while it assess damages. Suddenly, a rumbling is heard, and the ground shakes, red light underneath the vehicle start lightening up, and the sub starts back up, looking down to see that they are actually sitting right ontop of an avtive volcano that is ready to blow! The sea cab shoots up, and starts speeding up, narrowly escaping the volcano! Your car then drives into sea base alpha, and you exit, and are free to explore the sea base! Thats the ride! Now, a few side notes. The sea cabs that you can ride after the hydrolators would also have a loading area INSIDE the sea base, so the people coming off the sea rovers can ride through and look at the fish. Now lets take a look at the ride vehicles. Underneath, you'll see that there are two. ONe with a big steel arm and the other with cables supporting it. Either way, the vehicles can drop and raise up, and spin around. The one with the arm allows more motion, while the cable supported one is somewhat limited. But the cable one, I believe would be much cheaper and easier to build....Whatya think?
