New immersive superflume concept M
edia attractions specialist Simworx has partnered with water ride manufacturer Interlink to create a brand new attraction concept: adding a motion base and immersive screens to a flume ride.
Riders sail through a dinosaur themed area in 16-seater boats before entering a tunnel section, in which huge screens transport them into an immersive dinosaur adventure, with the movement of the boats syncing with the action on the visuals. The ride will continue through another dinosaur-themed section before entering a 12m vertical lift featuring further theming and various special effects. Riders will then plunge into the final splash pool. Interlink commercial director John Davies said: “The Immersive Superflume will take the ride to another level and will add an exciting and entertaining new element to this type of attraction.” The first example of the new attraction is due to open in December 2019 at a new shopping mall being developed by Trans Studio in Cibuber, outside Jakarta, Indonesia.
Ropes Courses expands with Clip ‘n Climb
Ropes Courses, Inc. (RCI) has signed a deal with New Zealand-based company Clip ‘n Climb to manufacture its climbing structures in Michigan and assume distribution responsibilities to the North and South American markets. RCI production manager Brad Ade (pictured left) recently traveled to New Zealand to learn Clip ‘n Climb process to ensure a smooth transition. Ropes Courses market development
manager, Lori Gunthorp said: “John Targett (pictured right), owner of Clip ‘n Climb, and Ropes Courses owner Jim Liggett have known each other for years. Both companies offer products that cater to families and there is an overwhelming advantage for facilities to operate both attractions with minimal overhead cost. Targett realised that RCI had a strong presence in the US family entertainment market, and that it would be in both parties’ interest for us to introduce the climbing challenges to our customer base and expand from there.”
ADVERT An American Dream
The indoor Nickelodeon Universe theme park, to be located at world-class mall complex American Dream Meadowlands in New Jersey, will feature two record- breaking roller coasters by Gerstlauer. The Euro-Fighter boasts the world record
for the steepest roller coaster drop, while the Spinning Coaster, whose cars rotate on a vertical axis as they move along the track, will hold the titles of the world’s tallest and longest free spinning roller coaster. The two roller coasters will be intertwined, which means the combined 14 vehicles will run in and around each other. Currently under-construction, American Dream is due to open in 2019.
