Abstract: A ride system may include a ride vehicle having a chassis and a seating area that supports one or more passengers. The ride system may also include an attenuation device mechanically coupled between the seating area and the chassis. The attenuation device may attenuate a first acceleration, relative to a reference frame, of the seating area compared to a second acceleration, relative to the reference frame, of the chassis in response to the first acceleration meeting or exceeding a threshold acceleration.

Abstract: A sanitization system for an amusement park includes a sanitization station disposed along a ride path of a ride of the amusement park. The sanitization station includes a housing configured to receive a ride vehicle as the ride vehicle travels along the ride path, an ultraviolet light source configured to transmit ultraviolet light toward a surface of the ride vehicle, and a control system configured to detect a position of the ride vehicle along the ride path and to activate the ultraviolet light source when the control system determines that the ride vehicle is positioned at a first particular position relative to the housing.

Abstract: A sanitization system for an amusement park includes a sanitizing source for sanitizing a ride vehicle. The sanitization system may include a controller that receives an indication that the ride vehicle is in a position for sanitization. The sanitization system may include a sanitizing source, which the controller may lower into position to sanitize the ride vehicle. When sanitization is complete, the controller may raise the sanitizing source out of position. The controller may then send an indication that the ride vehicle is sanitized.

Abstract: An animated window system may include a projection surface configured to display at least one image to a viewer on a viewer side of the projection surface, wherein the projection surface comprises a tinted material. The animated window system may also include a projector spaced apart from the projection surface, wherein the projector is configured to project the at least one image onto a rear side of the projection surface, the rear side opposing the viewer side and a controller comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the controller is configured to provide the at least one image to the projector to be projected onto the projection surface.

Abstract: The ride vehicle system includes a ride vehicle having a ride vehicle base configured to interface with a ride track and move along the ride track. The ride vehicle also has a movable arm having a base end and a free end. The moveable arm moves along one or more motion-controlled axes. The movable arm is mounted to the ride vehicle at the base end. A ride seat is attached to the free end of the movable arm. A coupling device couples a first portion of the movable arm to the ride vehicle base, the ride seat to a second portion of the movable arm, the ride seat to the ride vehicle base, or some combination thereof.
