For instance, the control system may cause the attraction device and/or the show effects to provide instructions regarding navigation through the different areas of the attraction system and/or instructions for using the attraction device. In this manner, the control system may operate the attraction system to help the guest without the need for a worker of the attraction system to intervene.
  • the attraction system may provide a more immersive and/or personalized experience for the guest, resulting in a more thorough and efficient guest experience.
  • present embodiments integrate existing aspects of show effects and coordination with attraction devices to seamlessly provide specific guidance to individual users based on location data and user data without substantially interfering with or breaking immersion in the attraction experience. As discussed further below, this is accomplished by, for example, selecting specific show elements and characteristics for presentation of guidance (e.g., incentive-based guidance) based on observed data associated with amusement device operation and location within a particular attraction (e.g., area within an attraction).

Abstract

Un système d'attraction (50) comporte une pluralité d'effets de spectacle (64, 66, 68), un dispositif portatif ou à porter sur soi et un système de commande (52). Le système de commande (52) est configuré pour effectuer des opérations qui comprennent la surveillance d'un paramètre du dispositif portatif ou à porter sur soi, la détermination selon laquelle le paramètre indique une utilisation indésirable du système d'attraction (50) et la commande du dispositif portatif ou à porter sur soi, d'au moins un effet de spectacle parmi la pluralité d'effets de spectacle (64, 66, 68) ou les deux. Le système de commande (52) est également configuré pour fournir un guidage pour modifier le paramètre en réponse à la détermination selon laquelle le paramètre indique l'utilisation indésirable du système d'attraction (50).
