Description of Project
Six Flags Marine World is located 30 miles east of San Francisco
in Vallejo, CA. It is an adventure theme park with rides,
games, animal attractions and themed shows.
AMT was contracted to completely re-design the park-wide
sound system. The design included a refurbished control
room equipped with computer controlled signal routing and
processing electronics, and a revised distributed speaker
system covering the various themed areas of the park as
independent zones. A major consideration in the design was
a goal of automated operation for virtually all the repetitive
functions while retaining a park-wide real-time announcement
capability. AMT Engineers programmed the system to trigger
pre-recorded announcements in zoned areas of the park and
at specific times of each day. The computer program also
controls music tied thematically to each of the park zones.
Six Flags Marine World has no on-site technical staff to
perform updates to the pre-recorded announcements, so another
significant requirement of the system design was to accommodate
users with limited computer training and knowledge with
a simple means of adjusting those announcements or the schedule
of performance times. A comprehensive step-by-step written
text backs up the on-site training provided at startup.
As a safety measure, a network connection was established
to allow AMT Engineers to monitor and adjust the system
from our offices. This link allows us to provide further
training of new users, to trouble shoot problems on line,
and to adjust or revise the system if needed without an
on-site visit. This feature has been a great success for
everyone, and no on-site service calls have been required
since startup.
With this the sound system modernization project, Six Flags
Marine World has improved its life safety communication,
updated its ability to keep customers informed about daily
scheduled activities and shows, opened a new window of opportunity
for merchandise sales, and given the 21st century thrill
seeker a modern sound system to enjoy.
