jedimaster1227 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) If that warehouse picture is anything to go by, it could mean that they're building another indoor attraction. And considering how well Van Helsing's Factory turned out, I have faith this will be another solid addition!

cal1br3tto Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 ^So it's supposed to be dinosaur-themed? Is there a such thing as an Elephantosaurus? Because that fuzzy thing is ADORABLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDG Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The park finally unveiled the new-for-2014 ride. It will be a darkride by Riva Digital, using Simworx' Immersive Tunnel: http://www.simworx.co.uk/immersive-tunnel/ Guests are seated inside a large vehicle that is surrounded by a single, giant movie screen. Similar to King Kong 360 at Universal Studios Hollywood. No ride name yet, no opening date either. Likely sometime in the summer. PR in German: Dinosaurier erobern Movie Park Film- und Freizeitpark eröffnet weltweit einzigartige Attraktion In der Saison 2014 startet ein spannendes Abenteuer (Bottrop-Kirchhellen, 17. Februar 2014) Hochspannung, eine abenteuerliche Reise in längst vergangene Zeiten und Dinosaurier – das verspricht eine neue Attraktion, die Movie Park Germany im Laufe der Saison 2014 feierlich eröffnen wird. Auf rund fünf Millionen Euro beziffert Geschäftsführer Wouter Dekkers die jüngste Investition des Film- und Freizeitparks. Dank modernster Film- und Animationstechnik sowie aufwändig gestalteter Kulissen erleben die Besucher eine spannende Geschichte und werden selbst Teil des Abenteuers. Die neue Attraktion, die in ihrer Gesamtheit einzigartig ist, entführt ihre Gäste tief unter den Park in eine Urzeit-Welt, in der ein mysteriöser, alter Tempel entdeckt wurde und deren Bewohner mehrere tausend Jahre alt sind. Die Besucher lernen einen weltberühmten Archäologen kennen, den sie auf eine mitreißende Expedition zu unterirdischen Ausgrabungen begleiten. Als der Forscher plötzlich verschwindet, sind die Parkbesucher gefragt und treten an zu einer nervenaufreibenden Rettungsaktion. „Wir kombinieren 4-D-Effekte und eine 360-Grad-Leinwand. Im sogenannten ‚Immersive Tunnel’ verschwinden die Grenzen zwischen Fakt und Fiktion, sodass die Besucher das Gefühl haben, mittendrin zu sein und das Abenteuer mit allen Sinnen zu erleben“, erklärt Wouter Dekkers. Die zentralen Elemente stellen zwei Expeditionsbusse zum Transport von jeweils 30 Besuchern und die ellipsenförmige, 23 Meter lange Leinwand dar, auf der Special Effects „Made in Hollywood“ für perfekte Illusionen sorgen und den Blutdruck in die Höhe schnellen lassen. Verantwortlich für die kreative Konzeption, die speziell für Movie Park Germany entwickelt wurde und in Bottrop ihre Weltpremiere erlebt, zeichnet die international führende Filmfirma RIVA Digital aus Kalifornien. Deren Mitarbeiter animierten bereits Blockbuster, wie „Fluch der Karibik“ oder „Jumanji“. In Bottrop laufen derzeit die Bauarbeiten in den ehemaligen, rund 2.500 Quadratmeter großen, Movie Magic-Hallen, unweit des Haupteingangs, auf Hochtouren. Aktuell sind örtliche Tiefbauer und Elektriker damit beschäftigt, die Schächte zu bearbeiten. „Spätestens ab März wird es bunt auf der Baustelle“, berichtet Dekkers. Denn dann werden die Einzelprojekte des internationalen Teams, das seit Sommer 2013 mit den Planungen beschäftigt ist, in Kirchhellen zu einem großen Ganzen montiert. „Wir haben bereits im letzten Jahr einen Millionenbetrag in unsere Kinderfahrschule ‚Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – License to drive’ investiert und sind überzeugt, dass auch unser neuestes Abenteuer sowohl die kleinen, als auch die großen Movie Park-Besucher in Begeisterung versetzen wird“, so Geschäftsführer Dekkers.

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 So is this on a full circuit track and will park in one of more of these "tunnels" and then continue on its way?

Belgiumcoasterfreak Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 It just another simulator ride: Thanks to pretparken.be I love the theme but don't know what to think about the ride itself. But I'm curious about the first reviews ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon8899 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Will be interesting to see how it will compare to Dinosaur at WDW-AK - even if this will be a steep competition. If they would finally add a really good coaster.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Well, dinosaur is a ride on a track with only physical effects, this is a simulator ride with no physical effects. Yes, they both use dinosaurs, but I think the two rides are truly too different to actually compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 First there were Chinese Knockoff coasters. Now we have German Knockoff King Kong 360 3D. Just without Kong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
