In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may include an operating system of an amusement ride. In certain implementations, the apparatus may receive first information associated with a motion of the amusement ride. The apparatus may determine whether the motion of the amusement ride meets at least one threshold criterion. The apparatus may receive second information indicating at least one of a set of objects or a set of user characteristic upon determining that the motion of the amusement ride meets the at least one threshold criterion. The apparatus may output an amusement ride interaction based at least in part on the at least one of the set of objects or the set of user characteristics indicated by the second information.

A kinesthetic device that simulates flight includes a base unit and a swing unit. The base unit includes a base seat; whereas, the swing unit includes a swing seat, two swing support structures pivoted between the base seat and the swing seat, and a swing actuator used to control the swing positions of the two swing support structures. The two swing support structures are equal in length and parallel to each other. A fixed baseline is formed between two junction points between the two swing support structures and the base seat, a swing baseline is formed between two junction points between the two swing support structures and the swing seat, and the fixed baseline and the swing baseline are equal in length. The two swing support structures, the fixed baseline and the swing baseline form a parallelogram, allowing the swing support structures to swing stably the base seat.

A variable vehicle ride switch in accordance with present embodiments includes a base configured to rotate with respect to a ride surface. The variable vehicle ride switch also includes a conveyor positioned on the base that can actuate relative to the base to move a ride vehicle towards or away from an outer edge of the base and to change an angle or orientation of the at least one conveyor within the base, e.g., to rotate within the base. The variable vehicle ride switch also includes a controller configured to receive an activation signal to cause the base to rotate and to actuate the conveyor.
