NewsParcs, connecting the theme park industry!
NewsParcs will do a full coverage of the IAAPA Attractions Expo 2013 in Orlando to have a look at the latest trends and developments of the global theme park industry.
The multi-million dollar project has been entrusted to Montreal based manufacturer of interactive attractions Triotech which will supply its brand new concept 'IDR' (which stands for Interactive Dark Ride). The 305-meter/1,000-feet long track will be built inside the park's iconic artificial mountain and will include five different scenes of interactive shootings on giant screens with 3-D projections and special effects. Riders will board large roving vehicles equipped with a rotating motion platform, Triotech's laser guns and individual scoring screens. According to the company, the targeting system on real time computer graphics will be the world's fastest.
“Our new PIPElineWAVE slides are based on the ProSlide TORNADO, winner of IAAPA's Industry Impact Award and many Best New Ride Awards. They are an innovation breakthrough over the wide, flat walls of older rides which are more expensive to produce; have a slower, straight up-and-back-down ride path; and can't deliver a safely consistent exit.” commented ProSlide. “A predictable ride path means there's no need for the wide walls of previous wall-style rides. Not only will the PIPElineWAVE fit into tighter spaces, it also uses less fiberglass and steel than flat-wall rides.”
KMG's Sales Manager Peter Theunisz explains that the most requested rides at the moment are the 'Freak Out' and the 'Speed', especially for their customers within the United States, a market in which the company is growing a lot. Late June, a first Freak Out was delivered to Frazier Shows (Arizona) with a complete new color design for the US. while three additional are scheduled for a delivery end of 2013 on behalf of Alpine Amusements (Illinois), Butler Amusements (California) and All Around Amusements (Ilinois).
According to Oakwood’s General Manager Dominic Jones. “The finished product has been dramatically improved and our customers are showing their appreciation with average spends up over 60 per cent in June 2013 compared to the same period last year.”These past three years have been intense for NewsParcs.
