Ambiguous Visual Controls: Prehistoric Shark Attack Evacuation Plan

Avatar photo By Jon Miller Updated on May 24th, 2017

This may be the most unhelpful emergency evacuation visual control in the United States of America. The evacuation plan resembles a journey through a shark’s intestines. Should one need to actually consult it, the ability to read Japanese is required. The black dot at the top left is marked “current location”. There are plenty of exits, but none were visible from this sign, which was located in a cul de sac next to the prehistoric shark display. Perhaps noticing this, a helpful Japanese patron donated this ambiguous visual control.
