AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Buoyant water ride vehicles experience variable speed and timing due to water currents and gravity, making it difficult to align arrival times with show elements, leading to inconsistent ride durations and wait times.

Method used

A motion governor system with a driving mechanism and support elements that adjust the speed and direction of buoyant ride vehicles using control signals based on location and show element timers to ensure timely arrival.

Benefits of technology

Maintains the buoyant experience while ensuring precise timing of ride vehicle arrivals at show elements, reducing wait times and ride duration inconsistencies.
