A device may include a vertical pole, and a horizontal pole suspended at a top end of the vertical pole. The device may also include a mechanical pivot point between the vertical pole and the horizontal pole, and a handgrip suspended at a distal end of the horizontal pole. The device may also include a first chain suspended from the horizontal pole between the handgrip and the mechanical pivot point. The device may additionally include a mechanical device to removably couple the first chain to the handgrip such that when the first chain is coupled to the handgrip, a heavier user is able to use the device compared to when the first chain is not coupled to the handgrip.

A see-saw apparatus includes a base, a beam, a first and second carrier platform, at least one actuator, and an actuator control device. The beam, with a first and a second end, pivotally attaches to the base at a fulcrum between the first and second end. The first carrier platform couples to the first end and is configured to receive a wheelchair. The second carrier platform couples to the second end and is configured to receive a wheelchair. The at least one actuator is coupled to the beam and the base, and is configured to cause the beam to pivot between a first and a second position. The first position defines a limit of travel in a first pivotal direction, and the second position defines a limit of travel in a second pivotal direction opposite the first pivotal direction. The actuator control device couples to the at least one actuator.

There is provided a system for providing interactivity to a guest of an experiential venue, based on sensor measurement of the guest. The system comprises a sensor configured to sense a guest variable of the guest, where the sensor may be a biometric sensor, a facial recognition sensor, a voice stress analysis sensor, a gesture recognition sensor, a motion tracking sensor, or an eye tracking sensor, and may sense heart rate or another guest variable. The system also comprises a control system, which may be implemented as a computer, in communication with the sensor. The control system is configured to determine a guest state from the guest variable, and to modify a venue variable, for example by selecting a path a theme park ride follows. The control system modifies the venue variable according to the guest state to provide increased satisfaction to the guest of the experiential venue.
