Simworx is always looking at ways to innovate and improve its existing products. “The audio/visual aspect of all our rides is continually evolving, and fortunately we ha ve a team of expert developers making sure we stay bang on trend,” says CEO Terry Monkton.

The experience is like being a passipassive passenger in an aiircraft or hang gliider.” DyMoRides therefore concentrates on the quality of the motion as the key differentiating factor from its competitors. Motion algorithms have been developed to provide incredibly smooth motion, capable of being overlaid with complex vibrational modes up to 200 Hz for motion and texturing effects such as engine noise and air turbulence.

theatre needs to be based on a six degree of freedom motion system to be able to simulate the real feeling of flying. Large cylinders are of advantage to realize smooth soaring as well as dynamic motion movements. “We can see that clients are requesting a turn-key
solution, which means ride system, screen, AV and movie out of one hand, instead of sh opping individually. “
When the company is designing a theatre, says Andreas Kornprobst. it is guided by the ffollowing principles:
