Granby Zoo in Quebec, Canada, has opened a new Triotech XD Dark Ride interactive theatre.
The 7D theatre is reportedly already one of the most popular attractions at the zoo, which operates 11 rides.
“The XD Dark Ride interactive theatre was designed in Quebec for the whole family,” said Triotech’s vice president marketing, Christian Martin. “It’s one of our signature attractions, contributing for nearly eight years to our international reach.”
Winner of the prestigious IAAPA Brass Ring award in the “Best new product” category, the attraction allows eight people to play and experience simultaneously a multi-sensory adventure, enhanced with cutting-edge technology and special effects.
“We are proud to continue working with Triotech,” said Samuel Grenier, Granby Zoo’s director of operations. “In 2012, we set up a 16-seat immersive XD theatre without interactivity that was very popular with visitors. With the 7D theatre, we wanted to provide our customers an unparalleled immersive experience that is already a resounding success all around the world.”
The Granby Zoo’s XD Dark Ride theatre features Carnival, the latest film created by the Triotech studio. Players are immersed in a nightmare featuring a disturbed clown seeking revenge and who imprisons them in a dilapidated amusement park. Giant heads and terrifying automatons are two of many strange creatures that players have to confront to escape.
The Granby installation follows the successful launch of the 200th XD Dark Ride interactive theatre at the Méga Parc des Galeries de la Capitale, a Quebec City indoor amusement park.
