AIREAL--for Avatarland?

[JoWiJo]

Interesting point, I could see this being an issue with a lot of folks that are sensitive to stimulus etc. To a certain extent, it would be akin to avoiding a rollercoaster if you were very prone to motion sickness. But if it is as responsive as it seems, you might be able to program in some sort of a critical threshold response... violent jerky (panic) motions would turn off the effect.

Or the Magicbands might even be incorporated for the air to avoid certain guests in instances where they cannot simply physically bypass the feature. But that might be asking a bit much -- for now.

I realize that, by far, in most cases, puffs of air alone would be insignificant as a mild wind. But when it's used with holographic and other uses of light to create a false presence, there could be problems.

Personally, I'd enjoy this technology. I could see applications of it in current attractions. But in the end, imagineers should use discretion as to how it's used so the guests don't have to use discretion whether to avoid an attraction altogether.

~Thanks for sharing. I can definitely see this technology incorporated into Avatarland!

And it keeps getting better! My kids always wanted the touch and taste labs on figment to be open-----

~I totally agree!

i could totally see this tech in the queue for the E ticket

~Great idea! I could see that, too!
