This newly patented ride system is called “Twister Ride System” and was developed by Imagineers David Crawford and Ed Nemeth. It looks very cool and will most likely make its first appearance as the main component of a new Pixar “Planes” attraction. The ride consists of a vehicle that rotates along a 360 degree axis in a tunnel where video can be displayed on the walls. These images will follow a travel path parallel to the axis so the passenger in a vehicle will have the sensation of forward motion. Add a big fan at one end and you’re flying!
Its rotation will either be pre-programmed or controlled by the guest, like on Dumbo.
