Introducing Glory 8
Glory 8 is an advanced trackless AGV-based ride solution designed to elevate large-scale theme parks and immersive entertainment experiences. Combining a reinforced AGV chassis, three-axis motion module, and a secure passenger cabin, it delivers precise six-degree-of-freedom movement, omnidirectional navigation, and fully customizable route design. By integrating flexible automation with dynamic show effects and multi-dimensional interactivity, Glory 8 sets a new benchmark in ride immersion—accommodating everything from gentle family tours to adrenaline-packed thrill rides.
GLORY 8
Non-Linear Paths
• True Trackless Design: Each AGV can move omnidirectionally at speeds up to 3 m/s, allowing creative, free - form navigation that eliminates the constraints of fixed rails.
• Multi-Vehicle Coordination: Parallel operation and position switching along virtual paths maximize throughput and storytelling flexibility.
• Compact Footprint: Standard vehicle dimensions (2950 × 2400 × 2529 mm) reduce the need for large structural installations, freeing up valuable venue space for theming or additional attractions.
GLORY 8
Unpredictability
• Programmable Route Options: Multiple paths can be pre-set or altered on the fly, with triggers at specific nodes to surprise riders.
• Story-Driven Variations: Dynamic show elements—such as random “scene characters” or environment changes—enhance replay value.
• Script Compiler & Dispatching: The system interprets show scripts, coordinates active vehicles, and ensures collision-free operation. Operators can easily introduce unexpected twists or branching narratives without compromising safety or capacity.
GLORY 8
Immersive Experience
• 6-DOF Motion Simulation: Models like Glory 8 feature a three-axis motion platform that works in tandem with AGV travel, enabling pitch and tilt up to ±12°, 360° cabin rotation, and synchronized vertical movement (±150 mm).
• High-Performance Dynamics: Achieve accelerations up to 0.3g and rotation speeds of 18 rpm, allowing anything from gentle scenic rides to more intense, thrill-focused sequences.
• All-in-One Show Integration: Seamless synchronization of lighting, sound, projection, and animatronics with the vehicle’s movement. This real-time coordination enriches storytelling and ensures guests remain fully immersed from start to finish.
GLORY 8
Modularity
• Expandable Motion Platforms: Multi-axis systems, elevators, or roller coaster track segments can be added to the base AGV chassis, combining multiple ride profiles—dark ride, simulator, and coaster elements—in one attraction.
• Flexible Load Capacity: Engineered to support up to 5 tons, accommodating 8-passenger cabins, advanced show effects, or additional interactive elements.
• Future-Proof Customization: Operators can start with a simpler version and incrementally introduce new modules or ride profiles, evolving the attraction over multiple seasons without a complete redesign.
GLORY 8
Safety
• Redundant Sensor Arrays: Built-in obstacle/environment detection uses laser SLAM or multi-line LiDAR, enabling both passive and active obstacle avoidance.
• Autonomous Operation: EN13814-compliant with minimal human intervention—if a single device fails, the rest can continue running safely.
• Low Voltage & Large Battery Capacity: Systems like Glory 8 employ a 48 V, 300 AH battery for robust operation over extended cycles, while maintaining lower maintenance and evacuation costs compared to heavily mechanized track-based rides.
Main Structures
AGV Chassis
• Precision Navigation: Uses laser SLAM, multi-line LiDAR, or optional GPS base station tracking for stable positioning in complex environments.
