Simworx' new ride, Metro of Time, takes guests on a thrilling adventure through time |
|
Simworx, a UK-based developer of dynamic media-based attractions, has launched a brand new attraction.
A state-of-the-art motion simulation experience, the ride, called Metro of Time, takes guests on an adventure through four time zones, including a prehistoric safari, a treasure hunt through an Ancient Egyptian tomb, a Medieval quest before culminating in a thrilling chase across the Wild West.
Available for a 2020 install, the Metro of Time attraction consists of four Metro-themed 4D cinemas, each with a 40-person capacity. The units, available individually or in multiples, each feature 3DOF motion seats, surround sound audio, on-board special effects and seven LED screen 'windows' that transport the riders through time.
Setting the scene for the ride, guests go through a pre-ride experience that shows a geomagnetic storm ripping a hole in the space-time continuum, causing the trains to malfunction, sending riders back in time.
As guests arrive at each 'destination', the carriage wall opens revealing a huge projection screen which, alongside, the on-board screens create a truly immersive experience.
In addition, the ride is available with custom film content to suit the client's needs and theme.
Simworx CEO Terry Monkton said: "The team here at Simworx are thrilled to announce this brand new attraction to the market. Our development team are always working on new and innovative ways to offer a thrilling experience to our clients, and this ride is no different! Available in a full turnkey solution, this truly unique attraction is also ready for install early 2020."

Small Footprint, Big Significance: Studio City Water Park |

Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must

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. |
