As Justin Scarred mentioned at 09:04 in this video, it’s also noticeable how trees growing tall can have such a big impact in the perceived scale of anything next to them in the line of sight.

Sightlines: Keeping the illusion by controlling the perspective. This video is missing a key aspect: playing with scale to trick your eyes. Apart from that, 💯.

This cool video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1fgzBE2Ffk from @TechConnectify describes the whole purpose of the #StretchingRoom in the #HauntedMansion at #Disneyland (CA).

The ride was too big to fit inside the themed realms of the park, so a challenge appeared: moving guests to a big ride building across the Disneyland Railroad tracks, while keeping the #ThemeParkImmersion.

That's where the #StretchingRoom came in: a really fancy (and ample) elevator to lower guests to a tunnel under the tracks.

The #WDW ride that doesn't cease to fascinate me (and one featuring a unique ride system – no exact replicas elsewhere) is #TowerOfTerror.

There is a quite detailed schematic for the ride (kudos to Martin Smith), where we can appreciate the ingenious way they increased throughput by replicating sections – 4 auxiliary shafts leading to 2 main ones (where the drops happen), and actual vehicles that move between them, carrying guests.

Not so good for reliability though 😔

During one of my typical theme park technology investigations, this site popped up, with #HTML5 simulations of popular #WDW rides. It is a good way to understand how they manage queues and turn them into an integral part of the guest experiences.

It seems the material is copyrighted though, so maybe it is time to develop a free alternative 👷🏽‍♂️

@DavidBFox Well... I couldn't find one, so I'll be using #themeParkImmersion! Probably not the hotest topic out there, but one some of us are really fond about.
