Plans for 2019
In 2018 Simworx supplied the new Parc Spirou
in France with two key media based attractions
- its Immersive Tunnel and Stargazer custom
experiences, with a 4D cinema following in
March 2019. The company also recently signed
a contract with a major theme park operator
in China to supply three rides to each of four new theme parks being developed by
the group across the country. Each
park will receive an Immersive Tunnel, a
100-person capacity, 4D effects theatre
and a 160-seat dynamic simulation
ride. The first of the new parks at which
the Simworx rides will be installed is
due to open in 2019. Additionally, the
first example of Simworx’s recently
introduced Mini Flying Theatre will
open in Vietnam. Baoson Wildlife Park
in Hanoi will be the recipient of the
attraction, which is set to open in Spring
2019. In partnership with Interlink, a dinosaur
themed Immersive Superflume will open in
March 2019 in Indonesia, while a major new
custom designed, media based attraction will
open in Moscow. Pirates of Bacalar, a custom
themed Immersive Tunnel ride, will form part of
the offering at the new Amikoo park in Mexico.
