Garet Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Have you ever played one of Ubisoft’s games and thought, “This is fun and all, but I’d really like to experience it as a theme park ride”? Good news! That wish will soon become reality, now that Ubisoft’s announced plans for a next-generation theme park. Slated to open in 2020 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the park will be a 10,000-square-meter indoor complex featuring rides, shows and other attractions, all built around Ubisoft’s games and characters. “Ubisoft’s intention for this park is to immerse people in reactive worlds where they can interact with each other and become the heroes of their own life-sized game,” says Jean de Rivières, senior vice president of Ubisoft Motion Pictures, which is leading the project. Having previously produced an award-winning Rabbids dark ride for the Futuroscope theme park in France, Ubisoft Motion Pictures is creating the new park together with Malaysian theme-park developer RSG. RSG will own and operate the park, while Ubisoft will maintain creative control over the attractions. Few specifics have been revealed about upcoming attractions, but “Ubisoft will produce all digital media for the rides, and help design guests’ journey into the park to ensure the visitors’ experience is at its best,” says Rivières. “Malaysia is the second-most-visited country in Asia” Rivières adds, citing a 2014 report by the World Tourism Organization. “There is room for multiple projects to take root in the region and a growing middle class with an increasing income and appetite for entertainment.” Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I305forever Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Cool, but won't it have to compete with Fox World? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azza29 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 From the description it might be something like Tokyo Joypolis, kind of a big FEC with one or two major rides, some simulators and stage shows. Ubisoft has some decent original IPs, so I'm interested to see what they come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingwright Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 This is very interesting. I'm curious to see the scope. Several Ubiosoft franchises have the potential for great attractions. Assassin's Creed, Rayman, Tom Clancy and Trials, to name a few. And what would it take to extend their South Park licensing partnership? I would love to see a Cartmanland.

I305forever Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I could see a need for speed themed coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinx Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Aside from Assassin's Creed and Just Dance, I don't feel like any of their other franchises are big enough/ household names to warrant a theme park for. But hey, any new theme park is good so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I305forever Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 What kind of ride what they theme to Assassins Creed? I hope that all the rides arent just simulators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradox Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 The park will have a lot of bugs and glitches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timetrial3141592 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 So, half the stuff won't work correctly and they will nickel-and-dime you out the ass. Sounds like Six Flags to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradox Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Some coasters count as a DLC purchase only and you must pay to unlock them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
