I know has a topic in Disneyland forum on this site, but then Patent mentioned Tarzan besides Spiderman and it tells me Disney wants this technology more than Marvel attractions.

The description name dropped Tarzan and Spiderman. Here is the description of the patent: "One goal in designing the ride system was to deliver an experience similar to what it would feel like to be with Tarzan or a similar character swinging between trees of a jungle on a vine or with Spider-Man or a similar character swinging on webs between buildings as you move down streets of a city".

Here is a picture I saw of the technology:

Interesting concept, but IMO, it looks kind of like your standard theme park ride like Carowinds' Pirate Ship ride but just turned sideways....

Ah, never mind. Lol. That looks pretty cool. Thanks for the pics!

Looks like an Arrow suspended coaster with a longer arm.

Man, if we got a Tarzan coaster in Animal Kingdom or Adventureland, that would be the BOMB.

Color me intrigued. This is probably what marni1971 isn't telling us about the Stitch replacement. Pigs in Space for Tomorrowland and they are using Spidey and Tarzan to throw us off? (as if)

The obligatory word of caution....

Just because Disney has patented something doesn't mean that they actually plan to use it. To many times when these patents are posted people scramble to figure out what ride this will be used for and totally forget that one of the possible answer is "no ride at all".

I severely doubt an attraction of this caliber can fit into the stitch space.

You would move through a dark ride. Kinda like forbidden journey. Nothing love a pirate ship. Lol.

This is upside down FJ? That's what it looks like to me. Hopefully they build a Tarzan coaster at DAK or in AL.

Edit: the general concept, I know it looks nothing like the FJ ride vehicles and system.

Just remember this means SCREENZZZZZZ

This is what we need. The next evolution of a thrilling dark ride. Forbidden journey is a fantastic example but very tough to ride. This looks a bit more gentle but I'm not getting my hopes up for this in a real attraction until it is getting built.

You used a screen to post this message on the internet too.

Yes, that's a fair comparison. Using a computer monitor to post a message on the internet is certainly comparable to building a dark ride with screens instead of physical sets.

 

[capedisneygirl]

I hope this is for a dark ride, It looks like a more exciting riding system than peter pan but similar concept! cant wait to find out more

If this truly is for a Spiderman, could this patent be for a ride at DCA? Not sure whats going on with that project but that seems to be the most likely.

Tarzan in the US, Spiderman overseas.
