Research Part 2


Continuing my research I am finding some amazing technology out there. I have expanded my search to technology that is still in development, and I must say I am amazed and excited at what I am seeing. I have been researching Musion 3D technology. This is amazing technology that displays 3D images that look pretty near realistic. It looks like it was used for the Harry Potter ride at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. 

While it has been used already in a park, that does not mean I cannot plan to use this in the queue line. I have also decided that while a theme is needed for the queue line, I also need to design a ride to show the calculations that the queue will make.

A little bit of what I have found I need for a proper wait time estimate. I need the amount of guests, the amount of vehicles on the ride track, how many guests per vehicle, ride time, and load /  unload times. With these figures I can design a way to have more accurate wait times posted to the queue. I have added emergency systems on my list of things to design for the queue line at a later time. So until then, off to more research where I hope to wrap up soon and move on to design.
