the rooms of the hotel - concluding with a final visit through an otherworldly dimension. Guests of the Haunted Hotel will play a key role in the story, as the hotel proprietor needs their help to remove the witch’s curse and rescue three hapless hotel patrons. As they board the custom ride vehicle, riders are asked to work alongside the professional ghost hunter with their own Curse Eradicator, the latest in Sally’s tradition of creating personal, interactive devices. After weaving through the creepy corridors of the hotel, the attraction’s final scene will challenge riders to work together to rescue lost hotel guests from the witch’s diabolical Dimension X. Extreme Engineering announced several upcoming ride installations


and unveiled incredible new products, including the exclusive Parkour Around attraction, the patent-pending Flex Shade, and locations for three new Cloud Coaster installations. The all-new and interactive Parkour Around attraction provides near-


limitless opportunities for active fun for guests of all abilities. Giving the feeling of weightlessness, participants will be connected to a unique patent- pending assist system that allows them to jump higher, scale higher and leap lengths beyond what they previously could only imagine. The cutting-edge technology has been 10 years in the making and has been created to blend video game player abilities with real human skills and excitement. Featuring obstacles and time challenges, Parkour Around can be designed


with official licensing and intellectual property, providing custom opportunities to clients. Understanding that direct sunlight can often be too much for guests,


Extreme Engineering also unveiled its new patent-pending Flex Shade system. The new system’s flex rods provide the load tension, thus minimising the cumbersome hardware tradition sail shade systems require. The Flex Shade does not require large concrete pilings for installation, providing a cost- effective solution for clients. Extreme Engineering has exclusively designed and manufactured the Cloud


Coaster since 2015 and the signature attraction will now debut in three different states for 2023. At Wilderness at the Smokies in Tennessee earlier this year, the ride’s path will seamlessly soar around the resort’s indoor Forest Family Adventure Park. With an approximate length of almost 400 linear feet, the Cloud Coaster will offer resort guests a bird’s eye view of all there is to see and do. The largest outdoor Cloud Coaster to date will open in Coriscana, Texas


at Richland Chambers. Scaling a towering height of over 60 feet tall with over 820 linear feet of track, the coaster will have two lift hill sections to provide maximum thrill. Completing the trifecta of new coasters in 2023, Extreme Engineering will


debut its first Cloud Coaster on the West Coast. Set to open at the grand opening of Sports Wenatchee, an indoor mega adventure park in Wenatchee, Washington, this ride will be just over 300 linear feet long. Hersheypark amusement park unveiled a design first with the custom train


Sally Dark Ride's Haunted Hotel Dark Ride


for its all-new Wildcat’s Revenge hybrid coaster opening in summer 2023. The wood and steel coaster, manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC), will feature three custom trains, showcasing fully-dimensional black, charcoal and silver wild cats exacting revenge on their wooden predecessor. The thematic elements are a design first for Hersheypark. Wildcat’s Revenge will be the first hybrid coaster at Hersheypark and the


first RMC in Pennsylvania. The 2-minute and 36-second experience begins as riders climb a 140-foot hill, plunge into an 82-degree drop and hit a maximum speed of 62 miles per hour along 3,510 feet of red track on a black steel and wood structure. The pursuit continues as riders experience the very best of both the wood and


steel coaster experience through four inversions, including the World’s Largest Underflip. This one-of-a-kind RMC inversion begins with an upward climb, followed by a counterclockwise 270° roll and a dive down towards the side. One of 15 coasters at Hersheypark, Wildcat's Revenge will join one of the largest and most iconic coaster collections in the United States in summer 2023.
