Triotech has announced a major new partnership with Puy du Fou Asia that will see the dynamic attractions specialist supply several key experiences for its upcoming SAGA project in China.
As part of the deal, CL Corps, Triotech’s European division, will design and build seven dynamic platforms that will simulate the motion of a train to transport guests back in time to the 1930s. Special effects and media will be used to further immerse visitors in the experience.
The platforms will also feature Triotech’s pneumatic motion technology, which has previously been used to mimic aircraft movements at a WWII museum in France.
Commenting on the partnership, Triotech president and CEO Ernest Yale said: “Puy du Fou is clearly a leader in their segment. They have a unique offering and are quite simply, unparalleled at what they do. We’re excited to be working with this world-class organisation.”
SAGA Shanghai
Scheduled to open at the beginning of 2023, the SAGA concept is a walk-through experience that will take guests on an immersive journey back in time to the 1930s.
The attraction has been developed in partnership between Puy du Fou Asia, the CYTS Company, a subsidiary of the Everbright Group, and Shanghai Xuhui Urban Renewal.
Occupying 40,000 sq m (430,556 sq ft) inside the Everbright Convention & Exhibition Centre in Shanghai’s Xujiahui district, the attraction will offer 26 possible routes for guests to explore and, once open, will accommodate up to 3,500 visitors per day.
Expansion
SAGA Shanghai forms part of an ambitious expansion that has already seen Puy du Fou launch several new operations around the world, including Puy du Fou España in Toledo, Spain, as well as announce new projects in the US.
President of Puy du Fou, Nicolas de Villiers said: “We’re proud that our new SAGA concept is coming to Shanghai. This new ultra-immersive concept in the heart of the city illustrates our ambition to innovate and offer new thrills to the world.”
