Dynamic Attractions Unveils Flightcycle at IAAPA
November 14 2017 - 2:10PM
This morning Dynamic Attractions unveiled its latest innovative
attraction, the Dynamic Flightcycle, at the annual convention of
amusement park operators, the International Association of
Amusement Parks and Attractions Expo (IAAPA), in Orlando, Florida.
In this attraction, passengers sit forward in a motorcycle-like
racing position and are surrounded by a massive concave screen. It
takes everything that has made the Dynamic Flying Theater so
popular to the next level featuring wind, mist, scent, and media
perfectly synchronized with the motion to create a thrilling
family-level illusion of flight.
“This does what Flying Theaters can’t do,” states Guy Nelson,
CEO, Dynamic Attraction. He should know; the Dynamic Flying Theater
has been the company’s most popular attraction. Flying Theaters are
adventures featuring spectacular, serene views. Flightcycle is more
about action that lunges you into a multi-media immersion.
Instead of sitting with their backs against a chair, riders lean
into the action, with their torso-forward on a cycle-style ‘flying’
vehicle. “It’s like a motorcycle with wings,” explains Mike
Haimson, VP of Technical Development, Dynamic Attractions, and the
visionary of the design. “This position changes your perspective
both physically and emotionally. The ability to perceive speed and
motion are heightened. And you have a fuller perspective of the
story unfolding below you. It is a dramatically more powerful,
immersive sensation, ideally suited to more intense action media
and theming.”
“Flightcycle is ideal for theme parks, amusement parks, and
tourist destinations that want a cutting-edge attraction to draw
guests,” explains Nelson. “We are also excited that this attraction
can fit into many locations because of its flexible size.” The
Dynamic Flightcycle comes in sizes ranging from 12-72 guests with
ceiling height requirements that are much lower than typical Flying
Theaters.
The Dynamic Flightcycle is also available in a complete
Attraction Package called “Dragon Rider” that includes screen,
projection, media, scenic and preshow elements, all for one price.
This attraction tells the epic story of two kingdoms engaged in a
battle with each other, and the warriors ride on the backs of
dragons. Guests get to join the forces and lay siege to their
enemy’s city, flying, soaring, and swooping through the towers and
canyons in a medieval, other-world adventure filled with flames and
action. Other attraction package storylines are available as
well.
At previous IAAPA’s, Dynamic Attractions introduced the SFX
Coaster, which is a dark ride roller coaster, and the Dynamic
Motion Theater, which is a live-action, multi-media theatre that
moves with the action. They have been recognized by IAAPA with
‘Best New Product Concept’ awards in 2015 and 2016.
