15 November 2017 - 5:10AM

ride vehicle that breaks boundaries, was unveiled today in front of
the annual gathering of theme park operators, the International
Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Expo (IAAPA) in
Orlando, Florida.

“No dark ride vehicle has ever been able to do what this vehicle
can do,” states Guy Nelson, CEO, Dynamic Attractions. “This brings
the thrilling, all-terrain movement and agility to an intense,
theme park-style adventure. The All-Terrain Dark Ride can
tackle rough terrain, climb up and down steep banks, and even give
air-time sensation while maneuvering in ways never possible
before.”
The big game-changer is the real-life action. “The experience
feels more intense because the riders’ sensation of the motion is
real, not a simulation,” explains George Walker, SVP Creative
Services, Dynamic Attractions.
It is also trackless. This provides unpredictable and,
seemingly, unrestricted adventures for guests. “We are able to
intentionally put you in seemingly precarious and thrilling
situations, but in reality, we are always in complete control,”
states Mike Haimson, VP of Technical Development. To do this, the
company utilized military-grade technologies, including a wireless
positioning system and cutting-edge batteries to power the
vehicles.
Trackless doesn’t mean that you can’t take a turn driving it. It
is the first dark ride that will allow guests to seemingly go
anywhere they steer. “In the military world, they call this ‘Fly by
Wire’,” explains Haimson. “However, if they come close to another
vehicle, wall or obstacle, the system will safely and thematically
take control.”
Dynamic Attractions also introduced two other new vehicles to
its dark ride portfolio of products. The Dynamic Motion Dark Ride
features a vigorous motion base on an omni-directional drive system
that can be used to create compound paths simultaneously with
complex motion profiles. The other is the Dynamic Classic
Dark Ride, which does not require the typical super-flat floor. It
also has greater acceleration, speed and free roaming ability. Both
of these vehicles are ideal for traditional dark ride needs.
