Cover Story
From the moment visitors step foot into this fantastical realm, they are
transported into a world filled with hilarious TooMush characters where the imagination has no limits. The ride includes rich theming; whatever area or corner the eyes can see, is decorated with many elements to be discovered - including references to attractions or even other parks. This feeling of total immersion is made possible thanks to the small footprint of the ride. Triotech & BoldMove Nation's expertise in blending state-of-the-art
technology and innovative storytelling provides an immersive experience that engages guests of all ages. Surprisingly, despite its modest footprint, the ride manages to create an
illusion of grandeur, providing an ideal duration for a family experience. The inclusion of reload stations injects a new element in the gameplay, and the incorporation of animated media scenes allows players to embark on a thrilling adventure from within their vehicles. With all these elements seamlessly intertwined, this ride not only offers exceptional value for money but also boasts an impressive throughput, making it a top contender in the market. Ernest Yale, CEO of Triotech, says: "Our teams worked closely together
to deliver a ride that is unique to the market with a high thrill level on a very small footprint. We had to be smart with our technology approach, placing key elements in a central pod and hiding cabling so we could make optimum use of the space for the ride. The system fits in a very small footprint. At Le PAL, we were able to retrofit an old 4D theatre and install a full interactive dark ride in the same building. This opens many opportunities to refurbish old 4D attractions and make them more dynamic for guests.” Benoit Cornet, BoldMove CEO, shares his excitement: "We're thrilled with
the result of Champi'Folies. Our creative concept has been fully realised, and our teams created an amazing ride that surpasses our expectations. We've blended physical and digital worlds to create a memorable experience for guests, and we're proud to have worked closely with our partners to create an attraction that's truly world-class. We bring the characters alive on screen, and together with our partner Polymorph we added Artificial Intelligence to personalise guest experiences. The cherry on the cake is the extensive theming we created with 3D decoration up to a real car, all of these reflecting their digital counterparts.”
A winning combination for operators With its versatility and customisable options, the Smash & Reload interactive dark ride empowers park operators to craft an experience that aligns precisely with their vision and operational needs. The ability to choose from multiple formats and intellectual properties opens a world of possibilities, making it easier than ever to create a ride that is unique and captivating. This flexibility enables them to cater to a large audience and adapt the ride to different themes, ensuring a tailored experience that resonates with visitors of all ages and preferences. Furthermore, Smash & Reload excels in delivering both high throughput
and repeatability, making it an ideal choice for park operators seeking to maximise guest enjoyment and ride capacity with an indoor ride that will ensure all-year-round operations. The small footprint required for this interactive dark ride, as a stand-
alone attraction or a retrofit of an existing building, makes it affordable for regional venues to have this kind of attraction, usually found in bigger theme parks, but without compromising on fun. The innovative gameplay mechanics are designed to offer constant
excitement, as each adventure holds new surprises, ensuring that every experience feels fresh and exhilarating. Moreover, the interactive nature of the ride fosters friendly competition and a sense of camaraderie among participants, creating a memorable and immersive experience that can be shared with friends, family, and fellow thrill-seekers, and that drives replayability as players want to improve their scores.
Pioneering the future Champi’Folies exemplifies the success of the Smash & Reload concept for regional parks, showcasing its ability to deliver an expansive experience within a limited space, at an affordable budget. As the industry continues to evolve, Champi'Folies, and rides like it,
will play a crucial role in captivating bigger audiences, attracting more visitors and creating thrilling experiences that deliver exceptional value. By embracing the unlimited potential and unique advantages of interactive dark rides, park operators can unlock new avenues of entertainment.
