飞行影院的承载系统

May 21, 2016 Joe Kleiman #62 International, 2016, Asia, Attractions, North America, Theme Parks, Uncategorized, World markets Comments Off on 飞行影院的承载系统


飞行影院的承载系统

文:凱文‧達奇

飞行影院和悬吊影院的电影格式和动态模拟器,让游客可以一览无遗的欣赏山水风光,或是和超级英雄一起执行惊险任务。你会发现这些影院的座椅布局和一般电影院的不同,垂直堆置或极度倾斜的座位设计,让游客搭乘时双脚悬空,再运用会动的座椅、风、气味和水雾等来达到更终极的感官体验。乘骑游乐设施的设计师各自以自己的方式来达到令人惊叹的效果,但基本目标:除去地板,使观赏游客身历其境。

对这类游乐景点的设计,动感景点〈Dynamic Attractions〉 这家公司已有很多的经验,他们将所设计的模拟机“真实航行动感〈True Flight Motion〉”和倾斜乘载平台的概念带到世界各景点。它的基本操作原理是使用单一的乘载平台,单一平台有助于装卸载乘客,创意部门副总裁乔治‧沃克〈George Walker〉解释道:「因为像电影院,乘客一看就知道该怎么办。 」当秀开始时,整个平台带着椅子翻转九十度,这过程很有效果。 「这让乘客有从悬崖边跳下,接着开始滑翔的感觉,那跳跃过程会让乘客脖子上的汗毛都竖起来,我们知道这是最好、最令人振奋的体验,而我们的设计就是建立在这上面。」由电动马达控制,从斜倾开始,然后是向上向下运作,这些都经过很多的改良。 「摇动或上下波动的状况也比以前好太多了,这让我们有能力提供乘客与萤幕影片同步的感官刺激。」已经有好几个模拟机运作,有几个即将面市,动感景点公司开始观望未来,「我们尝试不同的构造、新的互动技术、视角、运动轨迹,配合内容,提供身体感官体验,挑战极限,超越单纯的飞行感觉。」

在飞行和虚拟游乐项目方面,另一家堪称历史悠久的公司是西蒙克斯─艾沃克斯〈SimEx-Iwerks〉,他们最新的飞行模拟器叫“天空之翼〈SkyRide〉”。在这个设计里,乘客会发现他们在高度不同的平台登机,销售支援经理斯蒂芬‧李(Stephen Li)解说它的基本原理:「天空之翼系统有一到三层垂直排列的座位,每一层的地板和栏杆会脱离,乘客就可以无障碍的欣赏大萤幕。这个设计是为了迁就小场地和解决天花板高度限制的问题。」4D座位,不需要其他系统支援,配有三自由度转动,由电动马达来带动。 「这些年来,西蒙克斯─艾沃克斯公司开发了多种硬体平台,配上量身订做的历险影片,依据客户指定的目的地,带给乘客单一焦点的航程体验。」即将在菲律宾魔法王国游乐园上场的是「阿吉拉」剧场,是西蒙克斯─艾沃克斯公司为此乐园特别设计的,使用的就是天空之翼。电动座椅先在加拿大制造,然后在现场装置。虽然「阿吉拉」是模拟飞行,但也可模拟其他不同的动感轨迹,斯蒂芬·李说:「程式设计很有弹性,让我们可以依据影片需要,提供较平缓或较刺激的动感。」

最新的 I-Ride飞行模拟器又是不同的设计,渥太华的「飞跃加拿大」和最近在迷尼苏达开幕的「飞越美国」都是采用I-Ride。 I-Ride是电动马达带动的动感机,有4D 效果,是台湾的智崴科技 (Brogent Technologies) 和威克玛骑公司〈Vekoma Rides〉合作生产的。智崴科技对飞行模拟技术原有经验,于是研发和制造了I-Ride,威克玛骑公司则负责行销,智崴的行销主任斯特凡‧罗瑟格〈Stefan Rothaug〉说:「核心设计理念在原型机阶段时就有了,智崴拥有专利。这个系统每层都配有六自由度动作。」威克玛骑公司的北美行销副总裁内森‧琼斯(Nathan Jones)说:「它可以设定为较温和或是较惊险的动感,但这就要依 内容和希望乘客有什么样的体验来决定了,内容和动感需同步。I-Ride 非常机动灵活, 它可以让乘客觉得在旋转,或是上下颠倒!」当秀开始时,动感机离地朝萤幕移动。内 森‧琼斯 解释:「承载机滑向穹幕,旁边的 部分沿着上、下层一起向上或下倾,以对准 幕中心。每平台都可以大幅延伸,让乘客 使沉浸在影片中。」

美国的猎鹰的树屋公司〈Falcons Treehouse〉和海洋工程公司〈Oceaneering〉公司合作推出了悬吊影院,悬吊影院最主要的特色之一,是在装载过程时看不到大萤幕。以单一平台的设计装载乘客,空间的大小和动感模拟设施相当。最终天花板消失了,座位升起,大画面出现了。 “悬吊”这名词的来源就是因座椅是用头上的支架支撑的,再使用电缆和滑轮系统将座椅拉起,堆叠排列成观看影片的位置。可三自由度转动,也有其他 的特殊效果。海洋工程公司的创意服务部主 管马特·肯特〈Matt Kent〉详细阐述了两公司 的角色,他说:「猎鹰的树屋有悬空影院概 念的专利权,所以扮演的角色是景点创意设 计、媒体设计和节目制作。海洋工程公司是 负责承载系统机械方面的工程设计,执行所 有组件的生产、组装、测试和运行。」
