Fabland Valley Resort in Xiangyang in the Province of Hubei, China, has opened a unique double walkthrough attraction. 

Known as Hive Break, it consists of a space adventure themed walkthrough experience covering more than 1,000sq.m. The experience lasts for 12 minutes and is a highly immersive and interactive attraction featuring two parallel pathways with varying narratives.

Hive Break is set in a futuristic fantasy world with an interstellar port queuing style. Guests are left with a choice to duel as pirates or bounty hunters as sci-fi meets ancient aliens. Each parallel path consists of three unique zones: a Motion Simulator, a Training Facility with interactive projection mapping, and an Interactive Theater. 

The attraction is the realisation of Triotech, who created each component of this multisensory attraction. “OCT and Triotech have a long collaborative history with a dozen projects completed over recent years. OCT Group understand their guests very well and recognize the importance of creative attractions that feature advanced technology.” said Ernest Yale, President and CEO of Triotech. 

“During the execution of this project, Triotech’s teams worked closely with us to overcome the adverse impact of the pandemic on the dispatch of workers, the arrival of goods, on-site installation and commissioning, and ensured that the attraction opened on time.” stated Mr. Wang from the Equipment Management Department at OCT.

The opening scene is a walkthrough of the Motion Simulator that replicates a space shuttle.  This Motion Simulator features 4K media content, a motion platform and special effects such as smoke and lights. The ride takes them through an alien wormhole to a distant galaxy where they face a pirate attack and a crash landing. 

The Training Facility then awaits where guests can master their shooting skills to battle alien creatures and a bounty hunter ship.

The Interactive Theatre is the final destination for guests on-board Hive Break and is a fully themed command centre. Guests will put on 3D glasses and duel in a interactive space battle to complete their mission. Motion seats, wind, and interactive 3D media content are Somme of the elements guests will encounter to enhance the experience.

Mr Tian from the Operation Department at OCT said: “This walkthrough is very unique and special, the three attractions of each zone are perfectly connected with the storyline, bringing an immersive experience to visitors of all ages. We have got very positive feedback from our guests.”
