Laser-arrayed immersive amusement attraction

A method of operating an immersive amusement system, said method comprising:

• providing a path having disposed on opposing first and second sides thereof first and second arrays of devices, of which each device comprises either a beam emitter operable to transmit a respective visible beam or a beam receiver operable to detect receipt thereby of a visible beam, and among which the devices are setup in co-operable pairs in which each beam emitter aims the respective visible beam transmitted thereby at a corresponding beam receiver;
• and
• under automated control by a controller, performing a moving-beam sequence simulating one or more traveling laser beams by activating and deactivating the beam emitters of the co-operable pairs in sequential fashion along a series of said co-operable pairs.

• and
• under automated control by a controller, activate the beam emitters of a plurality of adjacent co-operable pairs to create a visible obstacle that measures multiple beams across in at least one direction.
