ORLANDO, Fla. – UK-based Simworx has announced the launch of another major addition to its product range, the 360° Flying Theatre.
The specialist supplier of media based dynamic simulation attractions has partnered with Dutch company Mondial, one of the leading amusement ride manufacturers in the world, to bring an all new range of technologies together for a spectacular new attraction. Providing a real sensation of flying with the passengers’ legs dangling freely below them, the Flying Theatre is available with 60 seats in three rows of 20 and offers unique movements with up and down, sideways to both sides, forward and backward motion.
Riders watch a movie on a huge dome screen as they ‘fly’ through the experience which is enhanced by a range of new technologies and optional special effects. Complete show control and an integrated audio visual system are combined with Simworx’s world renowned expertise in delivering high quality 3D AV solutions to ensure a thrilling experience suitable for a wide age range.
The Flying Theatre is supplied as a full turnkey solution, with all audio visual and effects hardware supplied by Simworx. The attraction is designed, built and produced exclusively for the UK company by Mondial, bringing together a combination of knowledge and expertise from both organisations to create what Simworx is confident will be a hugely popular attraction at a wide range of venues.
“We are delighted to announce the launch of the new Flying Theatre which has been an exciting project for us to develop,” said Simworx Managing Director Terry Monkton. “In conjunction with Mondial we have created a thrilling attraction that utilises cutting edge ride technology and the latest AV solutions to provide what will be hugely exciting and enjoyable experiences.
“As operators increasingly seek to install unique attractions that help them differentiate themselves from their competitors and which appeal to all the family, we are confident our Flying Theatre will create much interest throughout the global attractions industry.”
