Media-based attractions designer BoldMove has partnered with out-of-home multi-sensory interactive attractions specialists Triotech to develop the “world’s smartest and funniest interactive dark ride”.

Called Smash & Reload, the attraction utilises Bold Move’s Too Mush IP, which is based on a group of animated mushroom characters, which are tied to saving the environment from industrial pollution.

Inside, a party of up to six players sit inside a track-based vehicle where they shoot at a group of mutated mushrooms, hitting the “smash” button to reload their weapons.

There are four scenes within the game, with the vehicle rotating as the story progresses.

“This attraction will be accessible for all ages without any boundaries,” said Benoit Cornet, CEO of BoldMove.

“Their experience will be boosted by Triotech’s multi-sensory approach, applying impressive sound, light and interactive technologies. Triotech is undoubtedly the most suitable partner to convert our concept into a unique visitor experience.”

The dark ride, which is available in either an original or more compact format, can be installed as a standalone attraction or be combined with other attractions inside an FEC, theme park, leisure or retail environment. The five vehicle larger version has capacity for 360 people an hour, while the smaller three vehicle model can accommodate up to 240 people an hour.

“Smash & Reload is a great addition to our existing portfolio, as it appeals to a broader audience and extends our reach into new areas,” said Triotech CEO Ernest Yale. “It merges a challenging gameplay with a fun story, yet with an impressive throughput on a compact footprint.”
