Triotech’s interactive dark ride, Voyage to the Iron Reef, has opened at Knott’s Berry Farm, located in the greater Los Angeles area, California.
The park is operated by Cedar Fair Entertainment, which also owns Canada’s Wonderland where Triotech installed the Wonder Mountain’s Guardian ride in May last year.
“Los Angeles is one of the epicentres of entertainment, therefore it is quite an accomplishment for Triotech to launch a major attraction here,” said Ernest Yale, Triotech’s president and CEO. “Voyage to the Iron Reef keeps pushing the bar for interactive dark rides, especially with regards to interactivity, immersion and projection quality.”
In this new ride, Triotech has designed and deployed the projection and interactive gaming systems, as well as the content, enabling guests to experience a 3D adventure enhanced with 4D effects.
In Voyage to the Iron Reef, guests climb aboard four-person submarine-inspired ride vehicles and embark on a media-based gaming adventure into the Iron Reef that is located below the park’s Boardwalk zone. Equipped with an interactive freeze ray device, guests combat the Kraken Queen and her scavenging minions as they attempt to save Knott’s from destruction. Along the way, the submarines navigate 600 feet of track and 11 scenes featuring hundreds of creatures and other special effects.
“Voyage to the Iron Reef is an incredible and innovative attraction that Knott’s Berry Farm’s guests will want to ride over and over. Our collaboration with Triotech resulted in a visually stunning and highly interactive ride that’s unlike anything else in the park,” said Raffi Kaprelyan, vice president and general manager of Knott’s Berry Farm.
