Abstract:
1. A false surface system for a ride system comprising: a pair of opposed air bladders extending from opposite walls defining a recess, the air bladders each having an edge contacting the other air bladder, the contacting edges forming a seam and the air bladders defining a surface on a ride side of the air bladders, the air bladders being readily deformable along the seam; a carriage provided within the recess for moving within the recess; a support post mounted to the carriage and extending through the seam for movement along the seam, the air bladders deforming about the support post as the post is moved along the seam by the carriage; and a scenery element mounted to the support post for enhancing the ride system for a rider, the scenery element obscuring the support post and seam deformation from a rider in a ride vehicle of the ride system.
