Abstract

Amusement park rides rely on special effects to enhance rider experience. Modern technology allows for advanced ride systems that incorporate triggered effects. However, the accuracy of these effects can be compromised by external factors, such as weight, airflow, and track conditions which can result in suboptimal effect timing and a diminished overall experience for riders. Telemetry systems can collect and model data from coasters in motion since they provide more accurate and reliable information about ride conditions and adjust special effects accordingly. We can examine the implementation of specific examples of telemetry systems for rides to explore their benefits. Through analysis of coasters, we demonstrate the effectiveness of telemetry systems in providing real-time data to optimize special effect timing. The results suggest that telemetry systems have potential to enhance the overall amusement park experience by improving ride effects.
