"We haven't completley ripped-off the Walt Disney Pictures logo, honest!" :p



From Screamscape today:

2013/2014 - Triotech XD Dark Ride - Confirmed - (11/16/12) BlooLoop reports that Lotte World has teamed up with Triotech to build a 40-seat XD Dark Ride, which will be the largest XD Dark Ride ever built. The new attraction will be an interactive 3D experience. Things get a bit silly when they start to claim that the XD Dark Ride is actually “7D technology”, but it sounds like it will feature a multi-player game element to the action.


From the BlooLoop site:
Triotech and Lotte World Team Up To Develop Large Scale XD Dark Ride

Triotech announced today that it has signed a deal with Lotte World that will see the company deploy a forty seat XD Dark Ride - the largest installation of a dark ride to date. Collaborating very closely with Lotte World, Triotech architected the optimal design and gameplay experience to fit the needs of Lotte World and its guests.

"We are thrilled and honoured to work with Lotte World in the development of the largest XD Dark Ride attraction in the world," said Gabi Salabi, Vice President of Sales. "This unique interactive experience will allow 40 guests to share an incredible, real time 3D stereoscopic action packed adventure on one screen. The quality of the immersion, interactively and gameplay will be like never experienced before," said Salabi

The XD Dark Ride is a 7D technology attraction which has revolutionized interactivity during an immersive experience. It incorporates a large multi-player attraction with an interactive gaming element, combined with the Triotech exclusive motion system and dimensional effects. Triotech initially launched their XD Dark Ride in 2011, and it continues to be the most successful product launch in Triotech history.

"We all look forward to bringing the world's first attraction to the 8 million guests at the park. We consider Lotte World a pioneer in the industry and we are very excited about this project and hopefully many more to come."

There's a brochure available to view here which has more information on this ride.


It looks like the interactive attraction was first revealed at last year's IAAPA convention...

Not really amazing but interesting nonetheless. But '7D'? Just... no! :p
 
Finally something decent to put here! :p Goddard Group have released some concept art for Lotte World's Underworld on their Facebook page.
