Systems and methods to facilitate guest control of a ride vehicle
A ride vehicle control system for a ride vehicle of an attraction includes multiple sensors that are configured to monitor a guest supported by the ride vehicle. The ride vehicle control system also includes an actuator system configured to couple to the ride vehicle. The ride vehicle control system further includes one or more processors that are configured to receive signals from the multiple sensors, wherein the signals are indicative of a position of the guest, a movement of the guest, or both. The one or more processors are also configured to determine an intended movement for the ride vehicle based on the signals and to control the actuator system to adjust a resistance to movement of the ride vehicle to facilitate the intended movement.
MODULAR SENSORY PLATFORM
There is disclosed a modular sensory platform for generating an experience for a guest on the platform located on an event floor of a venue. At least one deck module may each include a frame with a bottom side for mounting to the event floor, a side edge bordering the frame, and a standing surface opposite the bottom for supporting the guest. Lift actuators may be positioned along the side edge or under the deck for changing a distance between the event floor and the standing surface according to a lift signal. One or more sensory stimuli each receivable of a stimulus signal may be mounted to the frame and include at least one of a vibration buzzer, a low-frequency transducer, smoke effects, a heater, a water spritzer, air and scent lines, an air blaster and scent emission, a haptic device, fiber optic lighting, LED lighting, and a fog unit.

MOTION SIMULATING APPARATUS AND ACTUATING SYSTEM
A motion simulating apparatus and actuating system includes a base; a movable platform arranged above the base; a first cross arm assembly disposed on a first side between the base and the movable platform. The first cross arm assembly includes a first arm and a second arm that are cross-connected to each other; a second cross arm assembly disposed on a second side between the base and the movable platform relative to the first side. The second cross arm assembly includes a third arm and a fourth arm forming an X-shaped connection; an actuator connected obliquely to an upper part of the first arm and the base or the lower part of the third arm to drive the movable platform to move along a first direction or its opposite direction; and a rod is horizontally connected with the upper part of the first arm and an upper part of the third arm. The base, the movable platform, the first arm and the third arm form a substantially parallelogram when the actuator is actuating.

SEAT-TYPE ROCKING DEVICE
A strut member is connected to the center of a top plate portion which supports a seat portion and the center of a base portion so that the strut member rockably supports the top plate portion. A pair of rocking mechanisms formed by motors and link mechanisms and the top plate portion, connected to the output shafts of the motors and the top plate portion, and configured to be vertically displaced in accordance with a rotation of the motors is arranged in a front area or a rear area compared to the strut member in the base portion. The axial direction of the motor of one of the rocking mechanisms is aligned with a left oblique direction from the center of the supporting surface, and the axial direction of the motor of the other of the rocking mechanisms is aligned with a right oblique direction from the center of the supporting surface.
