Disney files "rider control system" Patent

[Blobbles]

The Disney patent is for a “rider-controlled amusement park ride” with a force sensor in the vehicle that guests can activate. By leaning forward or otherwise applying pressure, guests would be able to adjust the vehicle’s position or speed in real-time. The figure shows a Soarin’-esque hang-glider vehicle but the technology could be incorporated into other types of vehicles.

Before anyone get's excited, remember that the vast majority of patents that have been posted here never made their way into actual rides.
