The Farm Fair Gamechanger, a revolutionary 4D rotating dark ride experience, has opened at Bayern Park in Reisbach, Germany.
Developed by Lagotronics Projects the new ride, called Stadlgaudi 4D, combines a true dark ride experience with interactive gamification elements.
It features an immersive queue line where guests overhear some of the animals - Horse, Cat and Rooster - discussing plans to organise a Farm Fair, needing the help of the other animals Horse, Cat and Rooster enlist the riders to help wake the other animals so the fair can being.
Riders then board a vehicle, based on a rotating platform, and become part of the fair, where they score points by hitting targets with a 'carrot' cannon. Guests are also greeted with a new farmyard scene as they make their way through the ride, which culminates in a firework show.
The ride has a total ride time of approximately 160 seconds, and is capable of accomodating a large number of guests on a small surface. The rotating platform measures 8.8 m (29 ft) in diameter and has five sections; one for boarding, and four for the ride itself.
"We are very proud to have the world's first rotating interactive dark ride, completely designed in a great farm theme," said Silke Holzner, managing director at Bayern Park.
"The first reactions and findings of both the visitors and park operator are very promising," added Holzner.
"Bayern Park entrusted us to deliver the complete ride package, from design to installation," sai Lagotronics CEO Mark Beumers.
"The Farm Fair story and game was completely developed in house; interactive technology, devices, seats, platform, audio and video, lighting, show control, themed decoration and scenery, it's all there! Something to be very proud of," Beumers added.

for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
