Longest interactive wall adds wonder to Canadian park

27 May 2014 . BY Jason Holland

Triotech’s latest interactive dark ride has opened at the Canada’s Wonderland theme park.

‘Wonder Mountain’s Guardian’ is described by the Montreal, Canada-based company as a 3D adventure with 4D effects and interactivity. It is a combination interactive dark ride and roller coaster.

As part of the ride, Triotech says it has developed and installed the longest interactive wall ever integrated into a theme park attraction. The wall is 152m (500ft) in length and stands 4m (13ft) high.

The ride begins outside the theme park’s iconic mountain where riders enter specially adapted vehicles. They are then transported under the mountain, navigating through diverse environments such as a forest, underground lake, and city in which they are able to interact with mythical creatures. A dragon’s lair at the mountain’s core is the setting for the finale of the ride.

“Feedback has been exceptional over the opening weekend with riders giving the attraction strong positive reviews,” said Ernest Yale, president and CEO of Triotech.
