environment. The expert team can work out a complete custom story around for example pirate and dino theming. From the immersive queue line through the action-packed ride to the post- show area with themed shop with merchandise, every element contributes to a seamless and engaging experience.

Beyond ride technology and guest experience, Smash & Reload is designed with operational efficiency and long-term value in mind.

Different trajectories and movements in all directions can be easily programmed, whilst offering an unseen ease of operation and maintenance. Thanks to induction charging, the vehicles can operate continuously without the need for charging breaks. The themed vehicles are more than just a
mode of transport. They are fully immersive storytelling elements, equipped with high-quality sound systems carefully integrated into the vehicle design for a cinematic audio experience. docking configuration for loading and unloading further enhances the throughput of the ride, eliminates operational slowdowns, and preserves the element of surprise by keeping boarding and show paths completely separate.
Interactivity for live gaming 'cinema' experience The interactivity, a core part of Smash & Reload, has been completely reimagined in collaboration with Lagotronics Projects. The new targeting devices are designed for all ages and user types, delivering precise and intuitive gameplay. Built on
industry-proven components, the system is both reliable and easy to maintain. The colour coding of the device corresponds to the targets being hit on the screen so there is no confusion for players seated in the same vehicle. Across 4-meter-wide screens players enjoy
a live gaming cinema experience, with every scene representing another part of the story within a 360 degree universe. The physical decoration mirrors and complements the media components so whatever angle the vehicle turns, an immersive feeling will prevail. The use of back projection technology further enhances the sophistication of the ride as it will provide an improved blending of decors and screens. At the end of the ride a large scoreboard presents the individual and the group scoring, which can be improved in a next game to encourage repeatability.
Unique storytelling and smart technologies In this new configuration, Smash & Reload still offers flexible storytelling and is adaptable to original IPs like TooMush and Voodoo Festival or
than a dark ride. With this new version, we ensure it remains the best solution for a smart, accessible, and engaging experience that sets new standards in interactivity and operational efficiency. On top of further improvements in it more affordable than ever. This updated combination of strong features and cost- effectiveness facilitates the addition of high- quality family dark rides to regional parks." concludes Benoit Cornet.
