Ride system with dynamic ride vehicle configurations

A ride system, comprising:

• a first ride vehicle having a first plurality of magnets extending from first exterior sides of the first ride vehicle;
• a second ride vehicle having a second plurality of magnets extending from second exterior sides of the second ride vehicle;
• and
• a control system configured to maneuver the first ride vehicle, the second ride vehicle, or both to enable dynamic coupling and decoupling of certain first magnets of the first plurality of magnets with certain second magnets of the second plurality of magnets along a ride path of the ride system such that a ride vehicle configuration changes during the course of the ride path, wherein the ride vehicle configuration includes at least one of a vehicle order of travel relative to an end of the ride path, a vehicle direction of travel, or a vehicle orientation relative to the vehicle direction of travel.

A ride system, comprising:

• a substantially smooth ride path surface;
• a first automated guide vehicle (AGV) having a first magnet and having a first wheel set configured to enable movement of the first AGV along the substantially smooth ride path surface;
• a second AGV having a second magnet and having a second wheel set configured to enable movement of the second AGV along the substantially smooth ride path surface;
• a third AGV having a third magnet and having a third wheel set configured to enable movement of the third AGV along the substantially smooth ride path surface;
• and
• a control system configured to maneuver the first AGV, the second AGV, the third AGV, or a combination thereof to enable a coupling between the first magnet and the second magnet in a first configuration, between the first magnet and the third magnet in a second configuration, and between the second magnet and the third magnet in a third configuration.
