Media based attractions creator Triotech has announced the opening of its latest attraction, a next generation interactive dark coaster installed at Lagoon Park in Salt Lake City, Utah, US.
Named Primordial, the 6,600sq m (71,000sq ft) ride has been developed together with Lagoon Amusement Park and other industry leaders. It is a 3-level roller coaster combined with an interactive dark ride featuring 8 media-based scenes and an alternate ending storytelling.
The project scope, completed by Triotech’s in-house studio, engineering, and R&D teams, includes design, story, show, theming, audio, special effects, as well as the development of a new blaster concept that can withstands the twists, turns, and falls of the new coaster.
“Primordial is pushing the boundaries of the dark coaster concept” said Ernest Yale, president and CEO of Triotech. “We’ve included interactivity, pushed the immersion to an astonishing level and most importantly, we’ve included alternate paths as well as multiple different story twists. These different endings will keep guests guessing, and of course, keep them coming back to the ride to experience all its variants.”
The ride is set in the ‘mysterious world of the Dolomite Mountains, where visitors embark on a journey to free Dragon Dragnor.’ and the mystical Owl Astradir and restore harmony in the Kingdom of Queen Azdra.”

leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
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. |

| Eye tracking AI Aquarium from ITRI helps visitors identify fish species |
|
| It can take a while for visitors to identify the species of fish they’re looking at in an
aquarium – trying to match them up with information on an information panel can take time
and isn’t always straightforward. Now a new aquarium by Taiwan’s Industrial Technology
Research Institute (ITRI) helps by exhibiting marine life information in real time
according to visitors’ line of sight. |
