Interactive Queuing: Keeping Hands Busy

Interactive queuing: devices along the queue line that allow hands-on interaction: there are gears and levers on the walls that can be turned and pulled, several peepholes revealing small scenes inside, sensor-activated projections on the ground that change with footsteps, and several mechanisms that require cooperation to trigger. These devices are all related to the attraction's story, not just simple game machines. The devices are set at two different heights, one for adults and one for children. Because hands are occupied, the perceived waiting time is compressed. The image shows several groups of visitors operating different devices. Avoid: devices being standalone arcade machines, unrelated to the story, only set at a single height, visitors being idle while queuing.

排隊動線沿途設置可以動手的裝置:牆上有可以轉動的齒輪與拉桿、幾個窺孔可以看見裡面的小場景、地面有感應式的投影會隨腳步變化、還有幾個需要合作才能觸發的機關。這些裝置都與設施的故事有關,不是單純的遊戲機。裝置的高度分成兩種,一種給大人一種給小孩。因為手上有事做,實際等待時間的感受被壓縮。畫面呈現幾組遊客正在操作不同的裝置。避免:裝置做成獨立的電玩機台、與故事無關、只設在單一高度、遊客在排隊中無所事事。
