Disney4me Posted Saturday at 02:57 PM Report Posted Saturday at 02:57 PM Whenever a new nighttime spectacular debuts, we’re always looking for the new ways that Disney uses tech in these shows. We’ve been wondering about drone shows at Disney World for a while now, after they were used in Disney Springs for Disney Dreams That Soar and never seen again. Disney Dreams That Soar drone show If you’re hoping Disney brings back more drone shows, this patent will get you excited. Disney is expanding on its current drone technology to make drone shows even more themed and cohesive! The patent is for a themed aerial vehicle entertainment system or platform, AKA a bunch of cool-looking drones, to generate shows or displays by using dynamically coordinated show systems. Instead of using a fixed flight plan, the new entertainment platform is configured with one or more UAVs enclosed in thematic cladding, such as the outer shell of a spacecraft or a flying character, and the show is dynamically coordinated for a cohesive performance. ©Disney These drones feature one or more onboard show effect devices, a memory storing multiple alternate show scripts, and a controller that compares the drone’s real-time position and timing to a flight plan and picks a script based on that comparison. If wind or launch delays affect a drone show, the drones are equipped with backup plans to keep everything cohesive! UP house! Disney hasn’t announced whether a new drone show will be coming to the parks with this technology. Only two drone shows are currently running in Disney parks: Momentous at Hong Kong Disneyland and Disney Tales of Magic at Disneyland Paris. Disney will likely upgrade these drones before implementing a brand-new drone show. Momentous at Hong Kong Disneyland We’ll be sure to keep you updated on more Disney patents as they’re released.
