A ride control system that uses a state determination assembly to determine vehicle position and speed of the vehicle. The control system automatically prevents collisions between the controlled vehicle and other vehicles and obstacles along the vehicle's path without human operator intervention based on its position and speed as well as that of the other vehicles and the position and current operating state of upcoming obstacles. The control system automatically maintains a predetermined clearance between the controlled vehicle and other vehicles and obstacles, such as on a ride path, without human operator intervention regardless of vehicle inertia. The control system may be configured to automatically position and/or park a vehicle anywhere along the ride path with a high degree of accuracy in a minimum amount of parking time, without human operator intervention, and regardless of vehicle inertia.

Disclosed is an entertainment-oriented multi-mode experience system featuring a closed rail and a riding vehicle traveling along the closed rail. A screen rail is provided at the side of the closed rail. A screen synchronous moving mechanism corresponding to the riding vehicle and capable of traveling is provided on the screen rail. The screen synchronous moving mechanism includes a rotary support device and a traveling device. A screen is installed on the top of the rotary support device and is capable of performing a 180 pitching motion via a pitch axis, and the rotary support device is installed on the traveling device and is capable of performing a 360 rotation in a horizontal plane. The traveling device can travel along with the riding vehicle synchronously on the screen rail.
