Stormrider
StormRider was a simulator ride at Tokyo DisneySea. It simulated going into a storm in a futuristic aircraft (a "StormRider") to dissipate it. The attraction opened on September 4th, 2001, in the Port Discovery land of Tokyo DisneySea. The attraction closed on May 17th, 2016, and was replaced by a new Finding Nemo/Finding Dory simulator ride called Nemo & Friends SeaRider. Ride With its copper roofs and mechanical devices, the attraction building—the "Center for Weather Control"—was themed to a scientific laboratory, and perfectly fit in with the rest of Port Discovery's retrofuturistic architecture. After entering the show building, guests entered a pre-show room where a gigantic radar is displayed as well as a model of a strange device. A researcher climbed on a podium and explained the mission, that there is a big storm approaching Port Discovery and guests are to deploy a "Fuse" (a storm-dissipating device) into the eye of the storm in a StormRider (a flying laborato ...

During the creation of the park, the Walt Disney Company and the Oriental Land Company had to compromise on certain design elements of the park due to cultural differences, such as the park's entrance focal point. Ground was broken on October 22, 1998 and the park opene ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Simulator Ride
Simulator rides are a type of amusement park or fairground ride, where the audience is shown a movie while their seats move to correspond to the action on screen. There are many types but they fall into the heading of entertainment unlike the ones used for training. Simulator rides work by showing a film and moving at the same time. This information is fixed and cannot be changed without rewriting the ride's firmware. A film or experience can be made of any subject as they are created manually. A film of any given subject is given to the manufacturer, who records a sequence of movement that corresponds to the film. The footage is then synchronized with the motion of the ride to simulate the sequence of events depicted in the film. History Until recently, constructing simulator rides was an expensive, high tech business. The first simulators were built to train military pilots.

Disney's Fastpass
FastPass, FastPass+, and MaxPass were virtual queue systems created by the Walt Disney Company to speed up customer access to certain attractions and amenities at the Disney resorts and theme parks. First introduced in late 1999 as a virtual queue, the systems all allowed guests to avoid long lines at the attractions on which the system was installed, freeing them to partake in other attractions during their wait. There was generally no extra fee for the service. The original FastPass system was still featured except Walt Disney World, which used FastPass+, along with both Shanghai Disneyland and Disneyland Paris, which replaced the FastPass system with a pay-for-use system called Disney Premier Access. The system continued to use a virtual queue where guests are given a paper ticket with a designated time, instructing them when they would arrive at the head of the queue. However, each park had slight variations on the FastPass concept. On August 18, 2021, it was announced th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
