Truly transformational
NEW. UNIQUE. TURNKEY – That’s how Kraftwerk Living Technologies (KLT), a global specialist for integrated media technology solutions and media-based attractions describes its latest range of media- based attractions. Park World went behind the scenes to find out more about the ‘Transforming Theaters’ concept.
K
LT is well known for coming up with new ideas and concepts, working with creative teams and end clients to deliver their dreams. When approached by Fractal Picture, a very experienced team of media production and fi lm makers based in India with two story concepts, KLT was able to apply its skills to create two completely new attraction packages ready to supply turnkey to any client wanting a complete solution.
Sun Dark Sun Dark is
the story of our adventure, the whole human race...
First of its kind is Sun Dark with a story set in the year 2100, when the climate crisis has affected all our lives on planet Earth. KLT has developed an exciting yet educational attraction, based on a story by Fractal Picture, and wrapped it up in an innovative and patented turnkey concept. Using its award-winning Hybrid Dome mechanical and visual rotating platform, it has created a media-based attraction to meet the growing demand for high-end entertainment that delivers a message and a fun experience.
Complete with a queue line and pre-show that sets the scene and the story in motion, the audience enters what appears to be a unique themed theater space, but Sun Dark has many secrets and tricks. From the fi rst moment to the last, the audience is immersed in the story through complex motion, massive visuals and explosive sound. As the attraction has been developed from the ground up, the team has had the advantage of tailoring each technical
26
element to suit the storyline, taking guests on a journey like no other they could have experienced before. Kevin Murphy, senior vice president sales and business development at KLT explains: “Sun Dark is the story of our adventure, the whole human race, offering us a glimpse into a possible future when life on earth is sustained only because of an artifi cial shield in earth’s stratosphere that blocks damaging solar radiation. Having ignored the warnings of scientists for years, we have allowed a situation to arise where daily survival rests on a man-made superstructure. However, the shield is constantly exposed to damage and requires a dedicated team to maintain balance.
Sun Dark Task Force, a highly specialist team that monitors and defends the shield 24/7, undertakes continual missions to get the job done, often dangerous, even deadly. The guests when seated on entry fi nd themselves on one of these missions and start to experience the excitement of take-off, but unexpectedly as the journey progresses the entire theater starts to rotate as they progress upwards, lighting effects drawing our attention as they pulsate and twist with the complex sound effects that mark the entry into space. Space starts to come into view above their heads and around them, slowly at fi rst and then boom - fi lling their vision as the entire dome comes to life and the mission begins. From the thrill of the blast-off to breathtaking views into space, all senses are engaged as they complete the mission, all the while
