they are automated they usually need to be programmed to open
(or stay open) during the Load/Unload time.

j) (optional) Turn on/off any lights as needed.

k) (optional) You may want to start a visual/audio message to the mo-

tion base passengers during the Load/Unload show.

l) (optional) Sound an alarm or an audio/visual alert can be attached

to any spare digital outputs from the Smart Brick System to alert the
operators of a Load/Unload show. It can even be used to warn peo-
ple standing on the outside of automated exit doors that they may
need to move out of the way.

m) If you are controlling a Moog electric motion base: We typically pro-

gram in a ʻMoog Parkʼ and ʻMoog Resetʼ. The Moog Park will just
move the motion base home if it is engaged. The Moog Reset will
reset any minor error conditions in the PC under the motion base. If
the Moog motion base isnʼt in either of these conditions, these
commands wonʼt do anything.

.

In most cases, there will be a slight delay programmed into the main

shows before the ride motion begins. This gives time for safety warnings,
doors to close, ramps to retract, and to move the base up to the desired
ʻstartingʼ position. When programming your shows, it is never a good idea to
have the audio/video playback triggered on the very first frame of the show.
It is usually better to wait at least one frame or more before the trigger oc-
curs.

The Main Shows must:

a) The motion base is programmed with all axis at the starting and

ending at the parked positions. In between, the motion profile for
the ride is programmed.

are called started by the operators. You may also want to use one of these eight shows as a ʻparkʼ show that can be called up from
