Entertainment interaction based on accessing a separate system to populate a hidden field

1. An interactive platform for controlling interactive features in an amusement park, wherein the interactive platform comprises:

a control center comprising one or more hardware processors configured to:

receive an account request from a user computer system;

populate forward facing data fields based on user inputs from the user computer system;

coordinate authentication of the account request with a separate system configured to utilize a login application programming interface to share authentication data;

receive the authentication data from the separate system and provide access to a user account based on the authentication data; and

populate hidden data fields of the control center based on user data provided by the separate system.

2. The interactive platform of claim 1 , wherein the control center is configured to receive the authentication data and the user data in parallel from the separate system or configured to receive the user data embedded in the authentication data.

3. The interactive platform of claim 1 , wherein the control center is configured to limit the user data received from the separate system based on a type of the user data, and wherein the control center is configured to block confidential portions of the user data but allow trivial portions of the user data to be received, and wherein the confidential portions and the trivial portions are defined by one or both of the control center and the separate system.

4. The interactive platform of claim 1 , wherein the control center is configured to limit the user data received from the separate system based on a type of the user data, and wherein the control center is configured to employ user input to dictate the type of the user data provided by the separate system that will be accepted and/or declined by the control center.

5. The interactive platform of claim 1 , wherein the control center comprises a programmable logic controller.

6. The interactive platform of claim 1 , wherein the interactive features of the amusement park comprise virtual reality glasses, augmented reality glasses, a display screen, an animated figure, a ride vehicle, or a combination thereof, of an amusement park attraction.

7. The interactive platform of claim 6 , comprising a guest identification system that is communicatively coupled to the control center, wherein the guest identification system is configured to detect a guest in the amusement park attraction and communicate an indication of a presence of the guest to the control center.

8. The interactive platform of claim 7 , wherein the control center is configured to associate the presence of the guest with the populated hidden data fields of the control center and control the interactive features of the amusement park attraction based on the populated hidden data fields of the control center while the guest is present in the amusement park attraction.

9. The interactive platform of claim 1 , wherein the control center is configured to receive the authentication data and the user data as encrypted data.

10. The interactive platform of claim 1 , wherein data contained within the populated hidden data fields is not selected or entered by a user of the interactive platform with the interactive platform.

11. The interactive platform of claim 1 , wherein the populated hidden data fields indicate a favorite color of a user, a birthday of the user, a favorite fictional character of the user, an astrological sign of the user, a lucky number of the user, a favorite sports team of the user, or a combination thereof.

12. The interactive platform of claim 1 , wherein the populated hidden data fields indicate a height of a user, the interactive features comprise a display of an amusement park attraction, and the control center is configured to:

adjust a height of an animated character presented on the display of the amusement park attraction to correspond to the height of the user indicated in the populated hidden data fields.

13. The interactive platform of claim 1 , wherein the interactive features comprise a ride vehicle of an amusement park ride that is controlled based, at least in part, on the populated hidden data fields of the control center.

14. A method of authentication and population of hidden data fields to facilitate control of interactive devices in an amusement park setting, the method comprising:

receiving an account request at a control center from a user computer system;

populating forward facing data fields of the control center based on user inputs from the user computer system;

coordinating, by the control center, authentication of the account request with a separate system configured to utilize a login application programming interface to share authentication data;

receiving, at the control center, the authentication data from the separate system and providing access to a user account for the user computer system based on the authentication data; and

populating hidden data fields of the control center based on user data provided by the separate system.

15. The method of claim 14 , comprising receiving and decrypting, at the control center, the user data provided by the separate system.

16. The method of claim 14 , comprising:

providing a graphical user interface to the user computer system from the control center to acquire the user inputs for populating the forward facing data fields; and

requesting, via the graphical user interface, an authorization to share at least one type of data between the control center and the separate system.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the data in the at least one of the hidden data fields includes a user preference, user characteristic, or a combination thereof.

18. A system for populating hidden data fields and controlling interactive experiences in an amusement park based on the hidden data fields, the system comprising:

a control center comprising one or more hardware processors;

a separate system communicatively coupled to the control center and configured to utilize a login application programming interface to share authentication data with the control center, wherein the control center is configured to:

receive an account request from a user computer system and populate forward facing data fields based on user inputs from the user computer system,

coordinate authentication of the account request with the separate system based on interfacing with the login application programming interface,

receive the authentication data from the separate system and provide access to a user account based on the authentication data, and

populate the hidden data fields of the control center based on user data provided by the separate system; and

one or more interactive devices positioned in the amusement park, communicatively coupled to the control center, and configured to be controlled by the control center based on the user data.

19. The system of claim 18 , comprising a user identification system positioned within an amusement park attraction of the amusement park and configured to activate the control center to control the one or more interactive devices based on the populated hidden data fields in response to determining that a user associated with the user data is present within the amusement park attraction.

20. The system of claim 18 , wherein the one or more interactive devices comprise one or more interactive devices of an amusement park attraction communicatively coupled to the control center, and wherein the control center is configured to control the one or more interactive devices of the amusement park attraction based at least in part on the populated hidden data fields of the control center.
