Combining the best of both dark rides and rollercoasters into a new family attraction, Boldmove and E&S Rides have jointly announced the launch of their Spinfinity Coaster concept.
Offering a “cross-generational experience” that combines a family-friendly experience with a thrill ride, Spinfinity Coaster has been described as a “spiced up” version of a classic.
“We like to spice up the classical attraction formulas by using a bold recipe that mixes proven ingredients in a special way together, adding a creative topping to finish it off,” said Benoit Cornet, CEO and captain of creative minds at BoldMove.
“This way we give our customers a very unique and new flavour without taking any risks. With the Spinfinity Coaster, we apply multi-layered dark ride theming and storytelling principles into a new breed of attractions.”
A close collaborative effort between BoldMove’s creative ride experts and E&S’s technical engineers, the immersive 360-degree experience combines a themed dark ride with a spinning coaster attraction.
On Spinfinity, riders will face inwards, looking at each other, with the coaster including boomerang and shuttle movements alongside indoor-themed media similar to a dark ride experience. The vehicles themselves will also come to life with special hologram projections, that add to the wider immersive experience.
“Combining our engineering skills with BoldMove’s creativity resulted very naturally in an unequalled family coaster with surprising twists and turns,” said Sébastien Challard, co-founder of E&S Rides. “We are very proud of the result, it’s a real pleasure to share our passion and reinforce each other.”
Featuring a compact design for easy integration into existing areas or empty buildings, the ride does not require heavy infrastructural work, with the capability to host up to 500 visitors per hour.
According to BoldMove, a bespoke theme for the ride can be developed, with the concept ride based on a Wild West version dubbed ‘Old Joe’s Mystic Mine’.
“We are truly excited with this next logical step in our roadmap to creating happy worlds,” said Cornet. “This marks another important milestone and opens tremendous opportunities for regional parks to offer their visitors unique ride experiences.”
