Intamin has upped its level in terms of providing ride services – literally, with the creation of the Dynamic Motion Stage.
Intamin promises guests a new level of immersive storytelling with a highly dynamic and unique ride system.
A highly complex ride system, the main platform of the Dynamic Motion Stage is moved by means of four hydraulic cylinders with centrally fixed support.
Intamin explains that ‘the central support ensures a minimal clearance envelope, as the horizontal movements of the platform cannot extend beyond its edge. This means show sets can be built close to the guests and entry as well as exit to and from the ride is made easier with no additional infrastructure required.’
The Dynamic Motion Stage is able to ‘perform pitch, roll and yaw movements’ as well as ‘heaving and dropping your riders up to 3-meters at a speed of 3 m/s, achieving weightlessness sensations.’
There are six cabin pods in total, with each cabin pod sits 18 passengers. It has unlimited rotation and can simultaneously be superimposed with the rotation of the main platform (also featuring unlimited rotation).
108 passengers overall can experience the ride during one visit and the ride has the capability to hold 1250 passengers each hour.
This allows full control over the experience of its guests as well as lets the guests interact with each other according to the story. The cabin pods can also perform tilting movements if desired.
Intamin state that this combination of the overlapping movements creates a multidimensional experience with new, innovative sensations for a highly re-rideable experience’
This ride offers possibilities for storytelling using physical theming, fully media-based or a mix of both. This makes the immersion even more impressive and puts the passengers in the heart of the action, the vehicles can even interact with each other during the story by turning them towards one another.
Due to the seating arrangement, every ride is a different experience resulting in a highly re-rideable attraction.
Individual cabins can optionally tilt, facing riders in the same direction, and circularly face inward or outwards.
For an experience as a state-of-the-art motion cinema, the entire stage area can also be configured as one large theatre seating with rows across the whole platform and the configuration options are very broad.
All of the seating configurations are using Intamin’s ergonomically shaped seats with individual lap bar restraints to ensure maximum freedom and comfort as well as the highest safety.
There are various versions of the ride with differing cabin pods which a park can tailor-make to their choosing,
This ride system was developed in collaboration with Efteling and will debut with their new attraction “Danse Macabre”, opening in 2024.
