The Flyer takes riders on an immersive adventure over San Francisco |
|
Triotech's The Flyer - San Francisco attraction has opened at San Francisco's Pier 39.
The attraction, which was created in partnership with pier operator W.A. Alter, takes guests on a thrilling adventure over San Francisco, showcasing its notable landmarks and attractions - including the iconic Golden Gate Bridge - and offering never-before-seen views of the city.
A pre-show introduces riders to a colourful cast of characters, including a curious seagull, after which they are ushered into the main theatre, where, seated in motion-based seats, they are suspended in front of a 1,100 sq ft curved screen, designed to fill riders field of vision to ensure total immersion.
Riders then take an immersive flight across San Francisco, seeing some of its most famous landmarks, including renowned prison Alcatraz, Coit Tower, Marin Headlands, Chinatown and the Castro.
Ernest Yale, founder, president and CEO of Triotech, said: "We are thrilled to open this unique attraction here in San Francisco. Being able to see the ciry and the Bay area in ways that are not possible through any other means make The Flyer - San Francisco a must see attraction for visitors and locals alike."
Taylor Safford, president and CEO of Pier 39, said: With our 15 million visitors a year, Pier 39 is proud to be the most visited attraction in San Francisco. It is the addition of new and wonderful experiences, such as The Flyer - San Francisco, that keep this property fresh, unique and fun."

attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
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. |
