An innovative ride that can drop vertically, move up and down and slide sideways has been unveiled by Canada-based Dynamic Attractions.

The SFX Coaster features four engineering advances that have never been together on a ride. But the attraction's biggest innovation is that these elements are perfectly synchronised with highly advanced media.

"Thrill-seekers want more than just a train on a track," said Peter Schnabel, Dynamic Attractions' president. "We've combined spectacular storytelling and eye-popping special effects with the most technically advanced ride.

"This has the amusement industry's top draws, dark rides and roller coasters, in one unbelievable experience. It is the first of its kind in an entirely new category of rides."

The SFX Coaster is the only ride to feature Dynamic Attractions' Gyro Table, Side-Slide, Track Drop and Tilt and Drop innovations.
