A new motion simulator-based dark ride that tells the story of Norse gods and mythical monsters with 3D scenes and special effects is set to debut at a Norwegian theme park this summer.

Drawing on Nordic mythology, the $8.5m Thor's Hammer dark ride will open this month at Tusenfryd, a Parques Reunidos theme park located in Oslo, Norway.

The as-yet-unnamed, four-minute dark ride will feature interactive elements, fire and wind special effects and 3D computer-generated imagery projected on 10 movie screens.
