Will the next game playing ride for Disney Parks look like this?

A patent by Disney gives us a look at what the next generation of game playing rides, like Toy Story Mania and Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin and the new Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, might entail.

The patent is shows a ride system where passengers can work together to drive the vehicle and complete other tasks. Traditionally, these types of ride “games” are designed to pit one person against another. Such is the case in Toy Story Mania and Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin where those riding “shoot” at various targets.

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is designed for each person in the cockpit to have a specific job. How each person does in performing those tasks gives the crew a score.

The inventors of the patent, “Park attraction with collaborative passenger control of holonomic vehicles,” recognize “that it may be useful to create a new theme or amusement park attraction (or ride) that is built upon collaborative control of a ride vehicle carrying two or more (and, often, four or more) passengers.”

This new system would consist of “a vehicle including a body with passenger seats, including a user input assembly proximate to each of the passenger seats, and further including a holonomic drive system adapted to move the body in any direction while riding on a driving surface of the park attraction,” the patent states.

For example, if you look at the image provided on the patent below, you can see an example of a ride vehicle having to move over a number of items on the ground that could “fuel up” the vehicle or award it points.

What type of rides would you design with this type of technology?
