Innovative Ride Systems

[FutureCEO]

what kind of new ride systems can we come up with? plus new ones out of old ones

 

[rzalaskus]

How about this- a ride system that incorporates an omnimover for slow parts but is capable of reaching 30 miles per hour for thrill features.

Ummmmm, isn't that Rocket Rods technology? :veryconfu

You obviosely never rode Rocket Rods. RR stay at about 25-30 MPH consistently, and has no omnimover in it.

rzalaskus, in what terms do you define what an omnimover is ?. In a way rocket rods is an omnimover IMO


on another note you could use the launch technology used in RnR as a propulsion to a higher speed in thoes areas

base an omnimover system on mag-left technology, so that its capapble of travelling at various speeds throughout an attraction...

Well, you would be right to say I haven't but I am not sure you are are aware of the technology behind it. It would be capable of going at "omni-mover" speeds, I don't think JttCoE goes that fast until the final plunge, and that is RR tech. Plus aren't the omni-movers are all linked together? So how could it go faster in some parts? The laws of dependent velocities make this impossible hence why I would assume all omni-movers to date stay at the same speed through out.

Sorry. When i think of omnimover, I think of Haunted Mansaion or Horizons. When I rode Rocket Rods, I would have never called it an omnimover ride.

Well, that is because it's not an omni-mover, what I was saying is that I am pretty sure that is not capable of different speeds, so I assumed you meant to disconnect the cars, which then hence moving at different speed is Rocket Rods Tech.

Again I am talking about the technology not what they specifically did with the RR ride, look at Journey to the Center of the Earth at Tokyo DisneySea and you will see what I am talking about using the same technology to achieve what you were talking about.
