Dark ride tower systems having stationary and adaptable rooms

A method, comprising:

• using a lift system to alternatingly move a ride vehicle between a first level comprising a stationary room having stationary walls and a second level comprising an adaptable room having adaptable walls configured to be rearranged into a plurality of physical configurations;
• generating projection mapping, via a first projection system, on the stationary walls to simulate movement of the ride vehicle relative to the stationary room while the ride vehicle is disposed within the stationary room;
• actuating the adaptable walls to rearrange from a first physical configuration to a second physical configuration while the ride vehicle is disposed within the stationary room;
• and
• generating projection mapping, via a second projection system, on the adaptable walls to present a show scene while the ride vehicle is disposed within the adaptable room.

A dark ride system for an amusement park, comprising:

• a stationary room having stationary walls;
• an adaptable room having adaptable walls configured to be rearranged into a plurality of physical configurations;
• a ride vehicle configured to carry one or more guests of the amusement park;
• a lift system configured to alternatingly move the ride vehicle between the stationary and adaptable rooms;
• a first projection system configured to generate projection mapping on the stationary walls to simulate movement of the ride vehicle relative to the stationary room while the ride vehicle is disposed within the stationary room;
• a second projection system configured to generate projection mapping on the adaptable walls to present a show scene while the ride vehicle is disposed within the adaptable room;
• and
• a controller configured to synchronize movement of the ride vehicle caused by the lift system, rearrangement of the adaptable walls, and generation of the projection mapping on the stationary and adaptable walls via the first and second projection systems.
