Sally Corporation's Power Blast X Dark Ride

Supplier: Sally Corporation

More Sally Corporation details
Power Blast X, Sally Corporation’s newest dark ride concept, features interactive video technology. Visitors are enlisted to travel to a distant planet to save Earth from the machinations of a band of notorious space pirates that are intent on stealing all the energy in the universe.

Power Blast X with Viper SixD is an immersive, space-age adventure with interactive video targets, interactive animatronics, fixed and moving targets, rotating vehicles, seat vibration and other special effects. Additionally, the shooting device, which is equipped with an electro magnetic sensor, allows the rider to track six degrees of motion which gives the video images a 3D quality.

The six degrees of motion give participants the ability to move images forward/backward, up/down, left/right, combined with rotation about three perpendicular axes – yaw, pitch and roll.

The ride is designed for 12 vehicles and has a throughput of 900 people per hour, using six-passenger vehicles.

“The initial design offers a smaller footprint than our standard dark rides,” says CEO John Wood. “We’ve had many requests for a ride that would fit into smaller, existing buildings, and with this Viper SixD technology, and four major play areas with 16ft x 9ft ( screens where the vehicles pause to engage the virtual characters, plus additional scenes, we can offer a truly exciting and challenging ride experience in an 8,000sq ft (743sq m) space.”

Wood adds that this technology and overall ride concept is very flexible and can be adapted to a variety of themes, storylines and facility sizes. “This truly represents the next generation of dark ride interactivity,” he says.
