Orlando, FL, November 19, 2024 — Forward Thinking Designs, an industry leader in innovative system designs, has revolutionized live entertainment with its newly launched software solution, "Entertainment on the Go." The software suite represents state-of-the-art event management technology that enables seamless parade orchestration while eliminating the need for costly infrastructure.
This groundbreaking software solution operates natively on Q-SYS and encompasses a suite of four unique plugins created by Forward Thinking Designs: Parade Controller, Vehicle Controller, Onboard Player, and Mini-Map.
The Parade Controller system not only synchronizes onboard and off-board players but also allows operators to monitor the status of each float in real-time. Essentially, it adds an extra layer of precision and control to any outdoor show or parade.
The Vehicle Controller system houses an exhaustive list of cues and corresponding audio tracks for each float and uses GPS location to maximize the impact on guests. This precision allows the Parade Controller to play location-specific cues, ensuring that your event's audio and visual elements are always perfectly synchronized.
Through advanced GPS monitoring and tracking capabilities, Onboard Player delivers a high-impact guest experience through optimized location, speed, and direction-based audio tracks. This powerful but user-friendly system can log GPS points for up to 256 triggers across 16 different routes or shows.
"From small regional theme parks to large multi-park corporations, Forward Thinking Designs seeks to make top-tier parade systems accessible to everyone in the entertainment industry," said Evan Hall, Chief of Big Ideas at Forward Thinking Designs. "Our ultimate goal is to help our clients create smiles for their guests while simultaneously delivering savings and ease of use for their operators."
With its flexibility and customizability, the new solution can enhance a wide variety of experiences beyond parades, including trains, trams, live shows, marching performances, and characters. It's yet another way the company is thinking forward in its mission to deliver world-class solutions to the entertainment industry.
To learn more about Entertainment on the GO, Forward Thinking Designs will be featuring it in booth #871 at the upcoming IAAPA Expo (International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions) in Orlando, FL, November 19 – 22 at the Orange County Convention Center.
