A very good idea Tunnie but I dont think Alton Towers will be to impressed. Imagine how many people will walk away when they find out in advance that theres a 3 hour wait for all the rides ;D

Mine has to be handed in on CD / DVD, paper submissions are not accepted!  :o

Loo-knee -  The idea just seam to develop from some other ideas I had, initially though of a custom unit, using something like the GP2X, but then decided why bother with that make it for mobiles...

Can't stand Java, so ended up doing it in Flash Lite which is proving big for mobile apps  :y

Who owns the inteligent property rights? and have you registered the idea with the patent office?  Uni may help cover costs for a share of futrure profits - I look forward to seeing you on Dragon's Den (Weds 8pm BBC2) when you pitch your marketing idea, ask for wads of cash and retire  :y

I was thinking about Dragons Den actually, although they only go for business solutions rather than ideas. I need to get a letter from Thorpe Park or Madame Tussauds saying we like your product we will use it....

Something to do after uni as i am quickly running out of enthusiasm for this project.....

This is my final year project for the course i am on (Multimedia Technology & Design Bsc)

I am making an interactive tool for mobiles, designed for theme parks but can have other uses (conference centres ect)

Its main ideas are to give Ride Queue times for any ride in the park at any time from a live data souce (eg your in Alton Towers its a 3 hour walk to the next ride, wanna see if its worth it or go to a local ride) It will also give news (again live data source), show videos and info on the rides.

For more techincal people the sources are actually xml files stored on my web server.. the application itself is made using Flash 8 Pro exported as Flash Lite 2.1

Ride Queue time source - http://www.tunnie.co.uk/thorpepark/extremeq.txt
News source - http://tunnie.co.uk/thorpepark/rss.txt

If you think its crap or see possible problems let me know....

Now i know all phones won't have the features mine does, this is intended as a "future" model, also currently i have created a custom website the phone can read to host videos, Flash Lite 3 will support video streaming but its not out yet  :'(

Photos:

The welcome screen....



Menu System....



Accessing ride queue times, phone prompts for WAP / WiFi connection....



MMS (multimedia service) is chosen to download data....



Queue time screen (there are others different type rides) data is being downloaded, status bar at top (Orange blocks) ...



Data is downloaded, numbers now show times.....



Ride info on Nemesis, bottom images link to a custom website with Videos on. (Flash Lite 3 will support video steaming)



Custom website full of videos....



Phone real player is loaded....



Movie is played....



I though that these photo/s were the new Tech 2!
