Many things should be considered if you
want to build a water park project or theme parks. Queuing areas will be set up
for amusement, performance, popular visiting and interactive events in each
theme park. The queuing area is the current waiting area and warm-up area for
each activity item. It is not amazing but full of articles.
The exquisite queuing area is just like the
"preparation area" in front of the rehearsal hall, which allows
people to "hear the sound before seeing the person". Tourists can
understand the theme and safety instructions of the project by using the
queuing time. And the queuing area has more details that tourists don't care
about, bringing comfort and protecting the safety of tourists. Next, let's learn about the design
of queuing area from the aspects of technology control, technology application
and theme creation.
Technical control of queuing area
1. Orderly
guidance
The basic purpose of setting up the queuing
area is to organize tourists to enter various venues or amusement areas in an
orderly manner, and to experience the recreational activities safely and
smoothly, rather than rush in. This is basically the same as the queuing area
in front of the windows of other public service facilities. As a result, the
width of the standing line is usually enough for a single person to pass
through. There will be no gradual change or sudden change in width to prevent
queue jumping.
In addition, the attention items of the
project, such as height requirements, health restrictions, etc., should be
clearly marked at the entrance of the queue area to ensure that no farce will
occur when the queue is stopped at the entrance of the project.
2. Evacuation
of tourists
A long time of queuing will always
encounter some unexpected special situations, such as temporary emergency exit,
children need to go to the toilet, and even in case of special disasters, all
staff must evacuate. In these cases, the exit and return of the original route
can easily lead to disputes among tourists. When evacuating in an emergency, it
is very easy for tourists to form a crowd in front of them and block them
behind in a panic, resulting in stampede accidents. Taking Haichang Discovery Kingdom
as an example, emergency evacuation doors are set up in the queuing area of
samba balloon project to lead to the external activity site. The exit channel
of the project is set between the queuing area and the greening area, which is
parallel to the outermost part of the queuing channel, and takes into account
the function of rapid evacuation of tourists from the queuing area, so as to
effectively guide and concentrate the flow of people under special
circumstances.
3. Coping with
large passenger flow
On holidays, the park's passenger flow
usually reaches the peak, and the length of the queuing area is usually
determined by the passenger flow during the stationary period. Therefore, in
order to prevent the overflow of passenger flow in peak area, the planning and
layout of temporary queuing area should be considered at the beginning of the
design of the park. If you want to build water park, you shall consider this
one too.
Taking Haichang Discovery Kingdom as an
example, the large pendulum project is very popular. Its temporary queuing area
is set up on the hard ground near the venue. The semi open area can not only
shade and prevent rain, but also will not hinder the large-scale activity flow
of people. The hard ground is drilled in advance, and the temporary guardrail
is inserted into the hole as required to define the queuing space. During off
peak days, the temporary queuing area will be cancelled and the boreholes will
be covered with metal covers. In this way, at any time, there will be no extra
bumps around to trip tourists.
4. Preview
area setting
Many 4D / 5D or medium and large stage
theaters, even some theme amusement equipment, will guide tourists to a preview
hall before queuing up for admission. This space is like the introduction of a
novel, the purpose of which is to let the tourists who are about to enter the
main venue concentrate their attention and stimulate their interest in
watching.
Of course, a small number of theaters will
place the rehearsal hall before the queuing area according to the space of the
venue, and then arrange tourists to queue up in batches to enter the main venue
according to specific rules.
The size of the rehearsal hall depends on
the number of tourists that can be carried by the theater or amusement
equipment in the next batch, and the space is enough for most tourists to stand
comfortably. Rehearsal time does not need to be too long, explain clearly the
background of the play and viewing precautions.
5. Seat
setting
During the Shanghai World Expo, the Saudi
Pavilion was highly sought after. During the peak 8-hour queuing time, a
portable folding stool was accidentally ignited. The existence is reasonable.
In the high-intensity queuing area, there are tourists sitting against the rail
everywhere, which also brings good reflection to the owners of the theme
park. Now, some domestic theme
parks have begun to try to set up simple wooden stools along the railings. Although
the width is only 20-30cm, it is enough for tourists to put down their packages
and rest on their seats. When the tourists are comfortable, the unprincipled
phenomena such as pushing and shoving and riding railings will disappear
naturally.
6. Fast track
In order to let some tourists experience
more quickly, many theme parks have set up fast lane and single channel beside
the ordinary queuing area to provide convenience for tourists by exchanging
money for time. In the theme park on peak day, more and more tourists begin to
accept this way to experience various projects more comprehensively. Therefore,
the fast track can be regarded as an idea to increase and eliminate. If you
want to build water park, you shall consider this one too.
The entrance location of the express
channel is often adjacent to the ordinary channel, and the packaging style is
similar, but the path is shorter. Of course, the fast track needs to occupy two
to three times the outdoor queuing area, so it needs to be set selectively for
the project. And the performance venues and exhibition venues can omit the need
of fast track through the setting of guest area.
