Congratulations to Simworx whose Hyperakselerator attraction at Hunderfossen, in Fåberg, Norway, has picked up a Thea Award.

Inspired by the work of Norwegian author and illustrator Kjell Aukrust, the rid features characters such as Solan and Ludvig from Aukrust’s Flåklypa Universe.

Lasting approximately five minutes, the ride takes guests on a madcap adventure with Solan and Ludvig, as they test out the Hyperakselerator, a machine designed by mad scientist Reodor Felgen to combat climate change.

Visitors board their own Hyperakselerators before embarking on a test drive down Pinch Cliff where they encounter challenges and surprises.

The ride is made up of four eight-seater Stargazer 4D motion theatre units set in front of a 16m (52ft) wide curved screen.

The Stargazers feature 6DOF motion platforms that provide a wide variety of movements. They will also be equipped with onboard effects, such as water spray, wind and leg ticklers.

Congratulations to @Simworx whose Hyperakselerator attraction at Hunderfossen, in Fåberg, Norway, has picked up a Thea Award. Matt Clarkson, lead creative at Simworx, shares his thoughts.
