Abstract
An attraction system may include an omnidirectional treadmill configured to output an indication of movement, a vehicle configured to support a rider and move along a path in a riding configuration and facilitate rider engagement with the omnidirectional treadmill in a walking configuration, and a controller communicatively coupled to the omnidirectional treadmill and the vehicle. The controller may be configured to instruct the vehicle to transition from the riding configuration to the walking configuration in response to a triggering event.
Claims20
An attraction system comprising:
- an omnidirectional treadmill configured to output an indication of movement;
- a vehicle configured to support a rider and move along a path in a riding configuration and facilitate rider engagement with the omnidirectional treadmill in a walking configuration;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the omnidirectional treadmill and the vehicle, wherein the controller is configured to instruct the vehicle to transition from the riding configuration to the walking configuration in response to a triggering event.
An attraction system comprising:
- an omnidirectional treadmill configured to output an indication of movement;
- and
- a vehicle configured to transition between a riding configuration and a walking configuration, wherein the vehicle is configured to traverse a path in the riding configuration, and wherein the vehicle is configured to remain stationary relative to the path to facilitate rider engagement with the omnidirectional treadmill in the walking configuration.
An attraction system comprising:
- a show effect system configured to display image data;
- an omnidirectional treadmill configured to output an indication of movement of a treadmill component;
- a vehicle configured to support a rider and move along a path in a riding configuration and facilitate rider engagement with the omnidirectional treadmill in a walking configuration;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the omnidirectional treadmill and the vehicle, wherein the controller is configured to:
- instruct the vehicle to transition from the riding configuration to the walking configuration in response to a triggering event;
- and
- generate image data for the show effect system based on the indication of movement from the omnidirectional treadmill.
