Disney's Imagineers Examine Enchanted Forest's Newest Ride

Ah, could this be a hint on the next generation of indoor ride vehicles?

It appears that a team of Disney's Imagineers went to Oregon to study (possibly also ride?) the newest ride at the Enchanted Forest park. What they were examining is a new indoor ride vehicles that is trackless and works using a barcode system.

Barcode technology guides The Challenge of Mondor's cars. That allows the cars to have a greater range of movement than vehicles hooked to a track.

The trackless ride system was built by ETF of the Netherlands. It is the only trackless ride system built by ETF in the United States, Enchanted Forest officials said.


Now just think how the Buzz Lightyear ride would be with that?!!

Zz.
