Lagotronics Projects introduces interactive Flat Ride ’Battle Arena’ Tornado Springs opens


Lagotronics Projects has launched Battle Arena, a new interactive ride concept that can be installed indoors or outdoors at theme parks, amusement parks and FECs. The ride system will be developed and delivered by German ride systems company ART Engineering. During this battle, visitors compete with each other on three levels, while their vehicles move suddenly up and down. These unexpected movements constantly change the battlefield, making the ride very dynamic and challenging. Lagotronics Projects will present the new ride concept at the Saudi Entertainment & Amusement show in Riyad 7-9 September 2021 and during the upcoming IAAPA trade shows.


In the battle arena, all gondolas move up and down between the three levels, at unexpected but pre-programmed intervals. Using a joystick in their gondola, visitors can also rotate their gondolas. Through the entire attraction targets are placed. Visitors discover new targets at each level and try to hit these targets, but also the targets on their opponents’ gondolas to steal their points. ‘Bonus Targets’ are also dotted around; these targets are less visible and more difficult to hit.

A new and additional fun element, making this a true battle, is that players are able to steal points from their opponents by hitting the targets on their gondolas. This battle can be played either by individual players, by a gondola, or with multiple gondolas in one team.
