SPINNING INTERACTIVE THEATER, 2009
This product line traces back to 2009 when we identified a market for customers wanting the experience of a dark ride but having little space available. We decided to combine the efficiency of the interactive theater with a spinning platform that would “carry” the visitors from one screen to another, in the dark, like a dark ride yet without physically moving them.
A zombie-based ride came up as a logical contender for a first ride: Castle of Chaos rose from concept to a successful ride in less than eight months, including the media preparation and theming.
The theater combines on-screen shooting scenes, animatronic shooting scenes and scenes using our exclusive Come-To-Life scenery. Seats are packed with individual effects: they vibrate, bend, tickle heels and neck…. But there is also wind, lighting, water and smoke effects in the room. This ride is the perfect example of what the Salto! Software is up to when managing interactive show control, platform movement changes and gameplay.
