Talk:Omnimover
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If you go here, Imagineer George McGinnis details how he designed the Omnimover for Horizons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.47.10.34 (talk • contribs)
- Ah. Well, you have to admit, it's different enough from the other Omnimover rides that it's an easy mistake to make. tregoweth 06:01, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
there is an omnimover type ride in hershey, pa the chocolate factory tour ride in Hershey's Chocolate World uses the omnimover system. i hove no idea is Disney was asked to aide in it;s construction.
Would it be too much to add a note on wheelchair access? One of the biggest problems with the omnimover system is the limited length of the pedestrian track at the loading and unloading areas. Haunted Mansion (in Florida and California, the limit of my experience so far) in particular has only 10 seconds to get on before the system wants to close the doors on you. As such, if you require more time due to having to transfer from a wheelchair, they have to pause the entire line affecting every person on the ride.
Often, this happens with no warning, interrupting the narration, and riders (unless they've dealt with wheelchair access already) have no idea and often think its a breakdown, not an intentional decision for the benefit of a guest who needs the extra time.acroyear
[edit] Others?
Are Winnie the Pooh and Snow White (both in the Magic Kingdom) not OmniMovers? They certainly feel like the same sort of system. . . MrItty (talk) 18:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
No, these rides are composed of individual vehicles, not a continuously moving train 76.254.196.239 (talk) 00:10, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
