Busch Gardens Williamsburg, eVirginia
Cabanga ngepaki yendabuko yokupaka emnyama. On steroids. Ukuthuka kweDarKastle kuyi-style ye-20th Century ehlukumezeka ngeHotel, e-Gothic lama-15 Century ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bekhulu lama-21. Njengomkhumbi omnyama we-yore, kunezinsika ze-spooky, izinto ezihamba phambili ebusuku, nezinqwaba ze-"gimmicks" ezisabekayo noma ama-gotchas. Kodwa ama-gotchas e-Curse asebenzisa izithombe ze-3-D, i-CGI, izimoto zokuhamba ngezinyawo, nezinye izici zonyaka.
Kuyinto impumelelo, ikakhulukazi epaki yonyaka.
Ukuthuka kweDarKastle Up-front Info
- Isisindo se-Thrill Scale (0 = Wimpy !, 10 = Yikes!): 5
Umsindo ozwakalayo kanye nethi "haunted" ingabesabisa izingane ezincane, ukungena mahhala okungenayo, okunye okuphambukayo. - Uhlobo Lokungcebeleka: 4-D, i-roving motion-base simulator, ukuhamba omnyama

Kufanele unikeze eBusch Gardens Williamsburg . Ngenhloko yayo ecebile, ukuhleleka komhlaba okumangalisa, nokudla okuphakeme, yisikhathi sonyaka, esingaphansi noma esingaphansi kwesifunda esicabanga ukuthi iyindawo epaki yokufika kuyo yonke indawo. Futhi akukwenzeki ukugibela nokugibela kwayo noma. Ukuhamba kwekhanda lokuvusa amadlingozi kwenza abantu bathande indawo yendawo yokuqeqesha emhlabeni wonke. Futhi ukupaka abalandeli bazo zonke amazinga okubekezela okuthakazelisayo bathanda ipaki ngokuhamba kwawo okuhamba phambili, ukuvezwa kwayo okuyingqayizivele yesimiso, imibukiso yayo eminingi, nezinye izinto ezikhangayo ezitholakala kakhulu kuma-Disney nase-Universal Park.
Ngokwehlambalaza kweDarKastle, noma kunjalo, iBusch Gardens Williamsburg iphakamise ibha yayo. Ngesikhathi iqala, ipaki yathi yikhangiso ebiza kakhulu emlandweni wayo.
I-ride isebenzisa isithombe se-3-D esenziwe ngamakhompiyutha (yebo, kuyo yonke intuthuko eyenziwe ekuthuthukiseni ukukhanga, uzodinga ukugqoka lezo zingilazi ezi-3-D) nemiphumela eminingi yezinzwa njengobukhuni, ukuqhuma komoya obandayo, namaconsi amanzi.
Kodwa ngokungafani nemibukiso esekelwe emibonweni, enezihlalo ezinesihlalo kanye neskrini esisodwa, ukusoka kunezikrini eziyisishiyagalolunye ezahlukene ezihlelwe kuyo yonke isakhiwo esikhulu kakhulu esingama-40,000-square. Ngokuhamba ngendlela emnyama, izivakashi zihamba ukusuka esiteshini kuya endaweni (noma isikrini kuya esibukweni, uma uthanda) ezimotweni.
Kulesi simo, izimoto zihamba ngezinyawo. Izihlalo ze-DarkCastle zithutha ngokuvumelanisa nesenzo esenzelwe ukufaka abagibeli ezweni lakubo. Kodwa, izihlalo zise-"passenger" ze-passenger eziyisishiyagalombili ezihamba phambili. Akugcini nje ukugijima nokuklanyisa emakhonsathini ngesithombe esibukiwe, kodwa izimoto ziphuthuma, zihamba kancane futhi zihamba ngendlela ehamba phambili njengoba zihamba kuyo yonke indawo. Kwesiguquko esisodwa sendawo, benza ngisho ne-herky-jerky bounce njengokungathi bahamba phezulu.
Ingabe Uzokwazi Ukusingatha Uhambo?
Ukuhlanganiswa kwama-3-D emifanekiso nezisisekelo zokuhamba ngezinyawo kunika abaqambi bokukhanga imiphumela emihle kakhulu. Iziphambano, izindiza zomlilo kanye nezinye izinto ezihamba phambili ziza ukulimaza kwabagibeli. Nakuba lezi zimoto zingashiyi phansi, zivele zibonakala zikhuphuka futhi zingabikho. Ngayo yonke isenzo sokuzikhandla, kokubili okungokoqobo futhi okungokoqobo, ingabe i-DarkCastle kuphela yintliziyo enamandla?
Ngenkathi ukugibela kuyamangalisa, futhi ngokuqinisekile ukuthola i-adrenaline i-adrenaline ehamba phambili ehamba phambili, akuyona indlela ehamba phambili yokuthakazelisa.
"Sikholelwa ukuthi sidale isipiliyoni esiyingqayizivele," kusho uLarry Giles, i-Busch Gardens 'VP yokuklama nobunjiniyela. "(DarkCastle) inamandla okwanele ukubandakanya intsha, kodwa kumnandi kuwo wonke umndeni. Ngabantwana, kuwumkhuba wokuhamba."
Uma ujabulela ukuvakasha kwe-simulator, kufanele wenze kahle. Uma ungenaso isiqiniseko sokuthi ufuna ukuwuthatha, ngiyakuncoma ukuthi unikeze ukudubula. Ngaphandle kokuphenya (okuyinto emfushane), kanye nokunyakaza okuhamba phambili (okungekho ngokushesha okusheshayo), izimoto azishintshi ngempela ngaphezu kwamasentimitha ambalwa kunoma iyiphi indlela. Uma isenzo siba namandla kakhulu, ungagcina amehlo akho futhi ukukhohlisa, kanye nokukhathazeka kwakho, kufanele kuphele. Kodwa uzofuna ukuzama futhi ugcine amehlo akho evulekile ukuze abambe ukuhleka kwendle.
I-DarkCastle isebenzisa izici eziningi ezifana ne-groundbreaking I-Amazing Adventures ye-Spider-Man e-Universal Orlando's Islands ye-Adventure.
Ingabe kuhle? Cha, kodwa khumbula ukuthi ngicabanga ukuthi iSpider-Man isingqayizivele esihle kunawo wonke esikhangayo (futhi i-Universal yayinabhajethi enkulu kakhulu ukuthuthukisa ukuhamba kwayo). I-Spidey yenza umsebenzi ongcono ukuxubha izithombe zayo ezibonakalayo ezibonakalayo nemvelo yangempela. Futhi imiphumela yaso, ngokuyinhloko ukulandelana kwayo mahhala, i-crisper kanye nokunye kwehla komhlathi. I-Universal ride nayo inenzuzo ehlukile yabalingiswa abayaziwayo abanesikhalazo esenziwe.
Awoooo. Izinto Ezinyantisayo Zenzeka!
Kodwa indaba ka-DarkCastle kulula ukuyilandela. Kutholakale esigabeni sikaJalimane epaki, ukugibela okusekelwe ngokukhululekile eNkosini uLudwig II waseBavaria. Ngokusho komsebenzi ovezwe ngaphambili, eminyakeni engamakhulu eminyaka edlule, inkosi yesikhathi esizayo yahlangana nowesifazane oyimfihlakalo owaguqula waba yingcuka futhi wabikezela isiphetho sikaLudwig njengesilwane esibi. Ngokushesha kunalokho ongase uthi, "Awoooo," izinto ezimbi zaqala ukuqhubeka enqabeni. Umphefumulo weNkosi uLudwig uhlasela inqaba yakhe namanje, sixwayiswe ngaphambili ... ngakho-ke nyathela ngale ndlela futhi ugcine izingalo zakho nezingqondo ezitshontsha ngaphakathi kwezimoto ezihambayo ngaso sonke isikhathi.
Abakwa-sleighs bahamba ngezinkambo ezinamalungu ayishumi nanye, kuhlanganise nokucwaninga kukaLudwig, ikhishi, nendawo enkulu yomlilo, lapho i-monster ezoba yinkosi ikhulula zonke izinhlobo ze-3-D mayhem. Isimo sokugcina - sorry, izindebe zami zivalwe - ziyamangalisa kakhulu.
Umzukulu wabathuthukisi be-ride uphikelela kakhulu. Phakathi kwethimba lokudala kukhona abahlakaniphile ngemuva kwezinto ezikhangayo ePaki. I-Brent Young ye-Super 78, i-LA esitolo esenza izithombe ze-DarkCastle sika-CGI, ithi kuthatha izinyanga eziyishumi nesishiyagalolunye ukukhiqiza imizuzu emithathu yokuhamba kanye namasekhondi angu-20 emidwebo. Njengoba izinto ezikhangayo ezingu-3-D zidinga izithombe ezimbili ezihlukene (eyodwa yeso ngalinye), futhi izigcawu ze-DarkCastle zazinemininingwane eminingi, kwakuwumncintiswano owakhiphe amandla akhe okucubungula amakhompyutha ngesikhathi sokunikela nokuphatha idatha enkulu yefilimu yefilimu.
Intsha ithi ngemuva kokuletha ithimba le-DarkCastle lokudala ndawonye ngenyanga ngaphambi kokuthi kugijime ukugibela ukuhlanganisa yonke into, wayejabule ngemiphumela. "Kungcono kakhulu kunokucabanga kwethu." Futhi, ukholelwa ukuthi, ubuchwepheshe buzoqhubeka nokuguquka. "Lokhu ngeke kube ukugibela kokugcina kohlobo lwayo." Ngithi kuyo, "Awoooo!"
