Disney has filed a patent for a new type of flying theater technology, as reported by Disney Food Blog. The design features a flat platform that riders step onto; the platform then rotates and tilts to face a screen, moving in sync with projected media.
Unlike current systems, this technology utilizes the entire floor to facilitate movement, including vertical and horizontal adjustments. The patent suggests the flat loading surface could improve boarding efficiency and increase ride capacity.
Additionally, the patent notes potential benefits for accessibility, as the level surface may allow guests with assistive devices to access the attraction more easily. While this patent suggests a new concept for future attractions, Disney has not announced any specific plans to implement this technology.
