Yeah that sounds good to me... @DashHaber any initial ideas on the queue? Ride system... I mean, trackless makes sense to me even though it might be cliche... any thoughts @AceAstro ?
I'm down for trackless as well, and was writing around trackless yesterday haha. I just wanted to make sure before we get too far into it.
That would be a fantastic way to portray that progression physically. Obviously it would have to be trackless the whole way through, but even having something like a busbar for the first part of the attraction would be amazing, and would allow for a really cool reveal when the vehicles eventually break from that.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking... maybe Ace can figure out some of the tech stuff better haha?
I love this idea!
That would work well. Even if we had busbars on the side that look like they're railroading the vehicles. I definitely think that a retractable center busbar would work well as well. I think the real question is where the sensors normally are on trackless vehicles.
Reading into them more, it appears that there are sensors in multiple places for redundancy and safety sake. "railroading" the car may work but I think I want to look into the possibility of having the retracting middle bar. I think if it could work right it work look really cool and fool a ton of guests not knowing what the ride system is
For the queue, I was envisioning basing it around Kinograph Studios.
Any specifics for load yet? Just so we have a starting point. I'd also suggest separating load and unload, especially with the ride system effect.
If we are still going with that title screen you had mentioned earlier that guests would pass through at the start of the ride, I was thinking that the loading area could be one of the screening rooms at Kinograph Studios...and have that area be in black and white. That way, when guests unload later at an area that resembles the exit of a soundstage, that portion would be in color.
That works totally fine for me. Goofy and I should have a more solidified list of everything by tomorrow so one of us can let you know if something drastically changes with the first scene, but a screening room should work perfectly.
That was one I was thinking. Have it be a gradual transition that, as guests get deeper into the queue, more and more color fades out until they reach the black and white load area.
