HUSS Movie Base


With the development of a compact version of the flying theatre attraction Movie Base the German amusement ride manufacturer Huss Park Attractions claims to have set new standards. An evolution of the company’s film-based attraction


Movie Base Classic, the first example of the Movie Base XS will open in Russia at the new Dream Island theme park being developed in Moscow by REGIONS- Entertainment and due to open in 2020. The attraction, to be called ‘Soaring above the


dinosaurs’, will be designed and developed specifically for Dream Island using the latest multi-media technologies and will take guests on an exciting, immersive ‘flight’ among the heroes of the park and over spectacular scenery. The ride will accommodate up to 72 passengers and will be suitable for all but the youngest of visitors. The attraction features suspended seats, located at a


considerable height in front of a spherical screen design. With its dynamic movements the attraction creates the effect of total immersion into reality for visitors, without using 3D-glasses or other devices. The motion base is able to perform complex movements in space, simulating the process of flight. The attraction is a ‘next generation’ Movie Base


concept with a new and improved design, including a new seat design. The ‘XS’ concept refers to the ride being smaller and more compact than the original version, although it offers 20 per cent more capaci ty despite the reduction in overall footprint. A smaller building impact is also achieved through the floor level loading of riders, the combination of these various elements resulting in significantly reduced overall construction costs. The Move Base XS is available from HUSS as a full


turnkey solution, which includes the A/V and show control system. In relation to this the company is realizing the attraction for the Moscow project in co- operation with Austrian company Kraftwerk Living Technologies as its project partner, one of the leading companies in the field of professional A/V system integration and effects technology. Passengers sit in rows of six with over the


shoulder restraints and customers can choose from a range of seating capacities – 36, 72 or 108.


Due to the floor level loading at 3.5m and access from all sides, each row of seats is easily accessible for riders to ensure effective guest flow for loading and unloading. The impressive flight experience is created by powerful


lift (1m) and tilt movements (7.5°) which can give considerable G-forces to the riders. The lifting into the viewing position via a hydraulic system creates a very special feeling, unique to the HUSS Movie Base attract ion. An improved viewing position utilising an angular arrangement of the two passenger units of 5.5°, combined with audio-visual effects and sensory perceptions created by individual 4D effects such as water, wind and scents, provides total immersion for riders, who are able to enjoy the same ride experience no matter where they are seated. Commenting on the announcement of the Dream Island


project, HUSS CEO Mirko J. Schulze said: “Our Movie Base XS is an exciting new design for a ‘Soaring above the dinosaurs’ ride and we are proud to deliver the first model of it to the Dream Island theme park in Russia. The ride will create a perfect adventure for the whole family and we are sure it will be a big success for the park.”


operation and our very first theatre turning 10 and both still going strong, that flying theatres are here to stay – an evergreen for every location based entertainment facility that looks for something that drives repeat visitors and touches guests’ hearts. There is a trend for smaller compacter systems that allow the experience to enter markets despite space and budget limitation.”


Location, location, location We are also seeing that location is changing the narrative in more ways than one. Marjolein van de Stolpe, Leisure Expert Group, explains: “Because of the overall decrease in
