Expansion of Telemetry in Trackless Ride Systems

Abstract

Unlike traditional rides, trackless rides do not follow predefined paths, giving riders a unique experience every ride. They are inherently more customizable and simpler to retheme than other designs, offering guests a greater incentive to re-ride the attraction. For this reason, these rides can sustain their popularity over time, making them worthwhile investments for amusement parks. As such, they are quickly gaining popularity in the themed entertainment industry. We explore different applications of telemetry that expand upon the current capabilities of trackless rides to facilitate a more cohesive, integrated, and streamlined ride system. Our solution enables ride designers to have more granular control over the interaction between trackless ride vehicles, show elements, and riders while maintaining high standards of operational safety.
