A system includes a first tracking sensor system configured to track, via a first sensor, a first tracked object in a first coverage area, wherein the first tracked object is associated with a user. The system includes a second tracking sensor system different from the first tracking sensor system and configured to track, via a second sensor, a second tracked object in a second coverage area different than the first coverage area, wherein the second tracked object is associated with the user. The system includes one or more processors configured to: receive a tracked target context for the first tracked object from the first tracking sensor system; provide the tracked target context from the first tracking sensor system to the second tracking sensor system; receive identification information identifying the user as the second tracked object from the second tracking sensor system, wherein the identification information is determined by the second tracking sensor system based on the second tracking sensor system receiving the tracked target context from the first tracking sensor system; identify a control action command for an interactive open environment feature based on the identification information identifying the user; instruct hardware configured to control the interactive open environment feature to implement the control action command based on the user being within an interactive distance away from the interactive open environment feature, wherein the interactive open environment feature is accessible by the user within the interactive distance; and update information associated with the user based on an interaction associated with the user and the interactive open environment feature, wherein the information is stored in a database.

A multi-stage water effect system. The system comprises a water ride vehicle comprising one or more water effect devices; a plurality of sensors configured to obtain feedback associated with an interaction between the water ride vehicle and one or more attraction features or other water-ride vehicles; a control system communicatively coupled to the one or more water effect devices of the water ride vehicle. The control system is configured to: receive feedback from at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors, the feedback indicating the water ride vehicle is within a threshold range of the one or more attraction features or other water-ride vehicles; select a stage of operation from a plurality of stages of operation, wherein the plurality of stages of operation comprises a first stage of operation associated with a first flow rate of fluid from the one or more water effect devices and a second stage of operation associated with a second flow rate of the fluid from the one or more water effect devices; and activate the one or more water effect devices of the water ride vehicle to provide a fluid flow based on the selected stage of operation.

Systems and methods presented herein include guest activity detection devices configured to detect activity of guests of an amusement park, and to send data indicative of the detected activity; an artificial intelligence entity management system configured to analyze the data indicative of the activity of the guests, and to modify properties of guest-specific artificial intelligence entities based at least in part on the analyzed data indicative of the activity of the guests; and park features disposed within a physical environment of the amusement park and configured to be instructed by the guest-specific artificial intelligence entities to modify a guest experience for the guests of the amusement park in accordance with the properties of the guest-specific artificial intelligence entities.

There is provided an augmented reality system comprising an augmented reality headset configured to display virtual imagery and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to generate a first virtual image for display via the augmented reality headset, wherein the first virtual image comprises a first virtual object at a first position and a second virtual object at a second position. The processors are further configured to determine a first lateral adjustment of the first virtual object from the first position to a third position based on an interpupillary distance of a user of the augmented reality headset, determine a second lateral adjustment of the second virtual object from the second position to a fourth position based on the interpupillary distance, wherein the first lateral adjustment is different from the second lateral adjustment, and generate a second virtual image for display via the augmented reality headset, wherein the second virtual image comprises the first virtual object at the third position and the second virtual object at the fourth position.

An attraction loading system is provided that includes a loading station, a loading path disposed around the loading station, an attraction path coupled to the loading path, and a ride vehicle configured to enter the loading path from the attraction path via a first track switch, wherein the ride vehicle is configured to enter the attraction path via a second track switch.

An attraction (148), comprising: a plurality of interactive equipment elements (147), wherein an individual interactive equipment element (147) of the plurality of interactive equipment elements (147) is configured to: detect an interaction between the guest device and the individual interactive equipment element (147); and read, via an RFID reader, an identification of a guest device in proximity to the individual interactive equipment element (147) during the interaction; and a controller (102) configured to: generate activation instructions to change an activity status of at least one of the plurality of interactive equipment elements (147) in response to the interaction between the guest device and the individual interactive equipment element (147).
