A modular lift system may include, but is not limited to: one or more lift segments each including: a lift-truss structure; and a drive shaft having at least one end-coupler, at least one lift assembly coupled to the lift-truss structure, and at least one drive segment including: a drive-truss structure; a drive motor coupled to the drive-truss structure; and a drive-coupler attached to the drive motor and configured to engage the end-coupler of the drive shaft.

An amusement ride experience may be provided using a ride system comprising a three-dimensional ride space; a predetermined set of motion-based vehicles; a turntable rotationally disposed at least partially within the three-dimensional ride space and operatively connected to the predetermined set of motion-based vehicles and configured to move each motion-base vehicle within two or more dimensions of the three-dimensional ride space without the use of track or vehicle-based propulsion; and a ride controller. The turntable and associated motion-based vehicles are installed in the three-dimensional ride space without using a track, track switches, track-related sensors, or trenching; a first motion-based vehicle positioned at a passenger loading position in the three-dimensional ride space; one or more passengers allowed to board the motion-based vehicle; the turntable used to rotate the motion-based vehicle to a predetermined set of locations within the three-dimensional ride space corresponding to a predetermined set of ride scenes, ending up with rotating the motion-based vehicle to passenger disembarkation position where the passenger exits the motion-based vehicle.

A system for providing an actuated-wall visual effect in an amusement park environment, the system comprising a panel mounting frame and a panel coupled to the panel mounting frame via a damper. The system also comprises a transducer mounting frame and a transducer configured to convert an audio signal into mechanical energy. The transducer comprises a first portion coupled to the transducer frame and a second portion coupled to the panel such that the transducer is configured to oscillate the panel relative to the transducer mounting frame in response to receiving the audio signal.

The present disclosure describes an amusement show system. The amusement show system includes guest seating, a background display, a conveyor, and a set piece disposed on the conveyor. The conveyor moves the set piece with respect to the guest seating between the guest seating and the background display. The amusement show system also includes a projection mapping system that includes one or more projectors configured to project images onto the set piece such that a first image is projected onto the set piece at a first point in time and a second image is projected onto the set piece at a second point in time.

An example of support member is provided. The support member includes a plurality of elongated members connected to form a first elongated rigid structure. In addition, the support member includes a first elongated member of the plurality of elongated members disposed proximate to a first edge of the first elongated rigid structure with a first member top surface. The support member further includes a first stacking guide disposed on the first elongated member wherein a first attachment top surface is to slope toward the first member top surface. Also, the support member includes a second elongated member of the plurality of elongated members disposed proximate to a second edge of the first elongated rigid structure with a second member top surface. The second edge is opposite the first edge. The support member also includes a second stacking guide disposed on the second elongated member.

A hoist system having a drum primarily self-contained within a batten, for raising and lowering lighting, sound equipment, curtains and the like in a performance environment. The hoist system may be adapted with safety mechanisms including an overload sensor and/or a slack line detector. The system may be provided in the form of a point hoist. The compact system is highly scalable to a variety of spaces and applications, including school and public theaters and concert halls, as well as some homes, private business, etc. Additional features include various cable management systems and trim adjustment mechanisms for use with the hoist system.

A building unit is provided and includes a plurality of modular display panels and a plurality of modular display panel connectors. The plurality of modular display panels is positioned adjacent to each other in a grid shape array and extending between a display support structure having a plurality of interconnecting poles. The plurality of modular display panel connectors not in contact with the display support structure and connecting the plurality of modular display panels from a rear planar surface side of the plurality of modular display panels. Each modular panel connector is positioned along the rear planar surface side of the plurality of modular display panels and includes a plurality of fasteners securing the plurality of modular display panels in the grid shape array.
