  The information management server 2 accumulates the situation information received from the information conversion server 3 and transmits the situation information to the information management server 1. The control server 1 creates the weather on a hot sunny day based on the situation information received from the information management server 2, and determines the box office contents so as to create a non-fixed landscape by changing the air volume indoors according to the chance information .

  That is, the control server 1 controls the temperature / humidity adjusting device 8 and the projector 9 to produce “hot” by the temperature / humidity adjusting device 8, and a sunny day view from the projector 9 can be applied to an indoor wall surface or the like. Project and produce a “sunny day”.

  Based on the contingency information, the control server 1 generates a situation that cannot be set only from the weather information, such as the intensity (amount) of rain, on a rainy day, and reflects the situation in the indoor scenery.

  In other words, the control server 1 controls the temperature / humidity adjusting device 8 and the projector 9 to produce a “feeling of a rainy day sensation (for example, a sultry sensation)” by the temperature / humidity adjusting device 8. The rainy day scenery is projected from 9 to the indoor wall surface, etc. to produce a “rainy day”.

  For example, data “outside temperature: 25 ° C.” and “humidity: 68%” are acquired from the situation detection sensors (# 1 to # 3) 4 to 6, and data “probability of precipitation: 80%” is acquired from the network 100. When acquired, in the present embodiment, a “cloudy weather image” is created, and the image is displayed on an indoor wall surface or the like as the background of the roller coaster.

  Further, in this embodiment, random numbers are generated in the range of 0 to 100 on the date and time, and the amount of rain (such as heavy rain in the case of 90 degrees) according to the size of the random numbers, A rainy landscape is created by generating an image of raining from the set direction and overlaying it on the “cloudy weather image”.

  In this way, in this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the entertainment content from being fixed or obsolete by controlling the entertainment content according to information such as the weather, rather than repeating the content that has determined the theme park attractions. .

  In addition, in this embodiment, in addition to information such as weather as information for controlling the operation of the attraction, by adding information with contingency, it is possible to make the contents of entertainment more diverse and contingent, and more contents of entertainment Can prevent obsolescence.

  The present invention changes the contents of the box office by changing the environment of the roller coaster running indoors, that is, the indoor temperature and humidity, and the scene (video) surrounding the roller coaster. It is also possible to vary the air volume (the volume of air blown by the blower and the speed of the roller coaster itself).

  In addition to the roller coaster, the present invention is capable of changing the surrounding environment of the entertainment that the customer participates in, such as a simulated sensation facility that vibrates in a ship or car that circulates indoors, or a chair etc. Any facility can be applied.

  Furthermore, the present invention is used for the above control by adding an accidental element to information other than the weather, which is information that cannot be controlled by humans and can be collected by a sensor or a network. be able to.
