There would be small stations posted throughout different portions of the park that are immersive tellings of portions of the Wright brothers’ history. The chair is slightly leaned back and large for multiple people to sit with a wrap around screen to engage the audience. It’s part of a larger system of seats and people can move to each station for a different event. Having been to the park, they can even use the pre-existing film and cut it up into recap points after each section of the park. It adds an additional layer to the park’s information flow, forcing a visitor to slow down and intake the information rather than skimming plaques and missing key ideas.
However, many parts of the park already have big theaters to watch a short movie that goes over the Wright Brothers’ history. The audience couldn’t be as involved as they could be. It also doesn’t encompass that some parts of the park are outdoors. Not to mention it isn’t exactly handicap accessible. It’s also probably more effort than it’s worth on the park’s behalf to maintain the screens and seats, and there isn’t enough manpower to maintain this long-term. While it’s an informative way to tell the history, it’s not as interactive and personal as it could be. There’s a risk that the user won’t leave feeling inspired about aviation, just informed on the history of it.
