We have worked hard in recent months to improve our special effects system in many ways to deliver better and more effects during the show.

Triotech – The Flyer
The Flyer – San Francisco, the flying theatre attraction at Pier 39, celebrated its grand opening in San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf in the early part of last year. Created by Triotech in partnership with W.A. Alter, Inc. of San Francisco, The Flyer – San Francisco immerses guests of all ages, taking them soaring over the biggest attractions and iconic landmarks throughout the City and the surrounding Bay Area, with views that have never been seen before. While embarking on The Flyer – San Francisco guests are introduced to a few characters from the
production through engaging projection mapping technology. After the introduction is complete, guests are ushered into the main theatre where they will buckle up as the floors slip away and the 28 guests are suspended in front of the 1,100 square foot (50 foot by 22 foot) curved screen that fills their field of sight ensuring that each guest has the feeling of a front-row seat. In their motion-based seats, guests will take an immersive flight through some of the Bay Area’s iconic landmarks and neighbourhoods, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Coit Tower, Marin Headlands, Chinatown, the Castro, and more. “With 15 million visitors a year, Pier 39 is proud to be the most visited attraction in San Francisco,”
noted Taylor Safford, President and CEO of Pier 39. “It is the addition of new and wonderful experiences, such as The Flyer – San Francisco, that keep this property fresh, unique and fun.” Once guests return to solid ground, they will be invited to explore the one-of-a-kind merchandise in the
gift shop, created in partnership with Wildlife Trading Company. Souvenir photos by Bay Cruise Photo will be available for purchase and to share via email and social media.
