HUSS Park Attractions introduces Explorer, a new

film based family ride concept

Update : 19:11 Published by François Mayné the 1 March 2013, New.

The German ride manufacturer HUSS Park Attractions has announced the development of a brand new media-based family ride concept named Explorer for the market of amusement parks and other attraction destinations.

HUSS, which is one of the leading manufacturers of amusement rides in the world, has choose to leverage its many years of experience in the design and manufacture of observation towers to create this patent pending ride which combines this structure with an audio visual system and sensory elements that together provide an immersive experience in a totally enclosed environment.

Using a 12 meters / 39 feet diameter, circular gondola similar to those used on the company’s Sky Tower rides, the Explorer will accommodate up to 70 guests, including wheelchair users. They will be seated in the cabin facing outwards, looking through the full height glass sides of the gondola which allow for unrestricted views of the surrounding screen. A seamless 360° multi-projector film format will deliver high definition content which will be unique to each installation.

This system allows the opportunity to create a wide range of environments, such as those beneath the sea, in space, in the eye of a storm or some of the world’s most spectacular scenery. The content can also be created as CGI, live action or a composition of both, the flexibility of the system being one of its key benefits according to the company. As a film based attraction, the experience can be almost anything an operator chooses, from a calm, scenic journey to a white knuckle thrill ride, while refreshing the ride is simple and cost effective with only the media needing to be replaced.

“We are genuinely excited by the Explorer concept and believe it ticks all the right boxes for operators,” explained Mirko J. Schulze, CEO of HUSS Park Attractions GmbH. “It is brand new, is based on our proven observation tower technology, has a high capacity, offers a smooth guest flow for loading and unloading, is easy to maintain, can be enjoyed by all ages and is extremely flexible as far as changing the experience is concerned. It also covers a relatively small footprint in combination with minor requirements on building construction; even the utilisation of existing building structures is possible."

“All this will be a great benefit to many amusement parks,” Mirko J. Schulze continued. “The Explorer extends our AV product range and offer and we are confident it will create much interest among parks and other venues looking for something totally new, different and with all the associated benefits mentioned.”
