Ghost Mansion Ride

The Ghost Mansion Ride is a Calm Ride in the game Parkitect.

Construction
The Ghost Mansion Ride is used to create themed darkrides. It has self-powered cars riding on a flat surface. The cars are guided by a small rail. The name Ghost Mansion Ride suggests that it has a spooky theme, but the design of the cars is generic, so it can be used for all kinds of themed darkrides. The cars move very slowly, giving riders enough time to look at the theming. While building the track, you can change the direction the cars are facing on certain track pieces. This feature is unique to this ride. The cars can be used as trains, with a maximum of seven connected cars, or as single vehicles.

The ride has a constant speed of 3 km/h, even when going downhill. The smallest corners are very tight, fitting within one grid square, allowing for a very compact lay-out, which is useful for creating indoor darkrides.

Vehicles
The Ghost Mansion Ride currently only has one vehicle option.

Real life
The Ghost Mansion Ride in Parkitect is based on the Omnimover developed by Roger Broggie and Bert Brundage for Walt Disney Imagineering. Outside of Disney, the transport system is know as an Endless Transit System. The ride system was originally developed for Adventure Thru Inner Space, a Disneyland attraction that opened in 1967. It was then used in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion attraction, which probably why it is called Ghost Mansion Ride.

The advantage of being able to rotate the cars is that the rider's field of view can be manipulated. This way technical elements, such as cables and lights can be placed behind the vehicles, without breaking the immersion of the rider.
