Products and services for parks and attractions SYM 026 BY EVOTEK


This professional dynamic simulation platform on three rotation axes features a control system, in the loop hardware and high precision mechanics direct from Formula One. This allows for quick reaction movements and acceleration, providing a very realistic driving experience.


Manufactured by Riker Ltd using an exclusive Evotek Engineering design, the Sym 026 is designed and divided into modules (or subgroups) in order to allow the evolution of each part. The result is extremely compact and elegant with considerable advantages for transport, installation and service.

This self-contained mobile gaming trailer – or “FEC on wheels” – can accommodate up to 16 players. The interior is extremely functional, offering features such as Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii consoles, LED television screens, internet access points, media devices, LED lighting, leather couches, heating/air conditioning and more. Creative Works apparently took inspiration from bowling facilities, limousines and nightclubs in designing the interior. Wrapped with colourful game-branded graphics, characters and logos, venues even have the option to brand the trailer with their company logo.

Are ride lockers a revenue stream or a service to your guests? They can, of course, be both, but if your guests don’t have the right change or are asked to pay too many times chances are they will stop using them. A new system developed by the American company Smarte Carte together with Core Cashless Kiosks aims to address both these issues. After buying a wristband from a self-service kiosk, guests are free use different lockers throughout the property all day long. Locker Link also


allows multiple guests in a party to share the same lockers. The wristbands can be used with Smarte Locke 1000 series electronic lockers and barcode access points. The Locker Link kiosk can be configured to accept card payments, cash or barcoded coupons and is provided on a free installation, revenue-share basis. Demonstrating the system at IAAPA Attractions Expo in Orlando, Smarte Carte was running it with a sensible $2 per day fee for unlimited locker use, although this is of course up to the operator. The company is also working with Core on a park-wide cashless payment model using the same wristbands.

CONNECT 4 BY BAYTEK GAMES


Ths classic family board game has been reborn as a coin-operated arcade machine. Two players take turns to drop ‘discs’ into the grid using buttons on the station before them. The first to get four in a row of their chosen colour, red or blue, is the winner. Alternatively, a single player can take on the computer. Either way, redemption tickets are dispatched as prizes, and players can win big in a bonus round.

BY ANIMALIVE It’s never been easier – or more cost effective – to interact with your visitors in CGI form than with this latest product by Animalive.


As guests talk to the character on screen, the operator activates a series of pre-programmed movements and gestures on a simple touchscreen. The previous system used more complicated motion capture technology. A camera keeps an eye on the audience so the operator can interact as if they were in the room.


Each system comes complete with a choice of eight animated characters, including a panda, spaceman, princess and fairy. Custom characters can of course be commissioned on request.
