Dark Rides by aufwind are unique highlights – the perfect one-of-a-kind attraction to offer visitors top-quality experiences. Each of our projects is distinguished by complex and modern technology combined with sophisticated creative concepts.
Especially amusement and theme parks rely on these attractions to offer unique experiences. But Dark Rides are also an exceptional marketing attraction for companies. Showrooms become spectacular highlights, trade show booths turn into sensations – showcasing your company in an outstanding light!
Here, technical precision meets extraordinary ideas, and together, attractions are created that captivate the senses and evoke emotions.
An aufwind Dark Ride is highly immersive and completely customizable. It can be either non-interactive or fully interactive, depending on the theme. The vehicles can be individually themed and equipped with horizontal drives and/or a rotational axis.
With the rotational axis and complete motion platform on the vehicles, extremely immersive effects are guaranteed both in themed environments and in front of Flying Theater screens.
All platforms are 100% real-time capable and can therefore be used in extremely versatile ways. Our software allows for easy playback of various shows, implementation of interactive elements per seat (e.g., point collection, control), and adjustment of intensity per vehicle and ride cycle.
We develop tailored scripts and theming for each client.
With our expertise in storytelling, preshow concept development, and attraction design, we guarantee a seamless integration of all elements to create a cohesive and impressive experience.

The best combination of indoor and outdoor
A combination of a dark ride and outdoor ride is the Safari Ride. Vehicles with a rotational axis and full-motion platform travel large distances through themed outdoor scenes. As they pass through small buildings themed as caves or similar, visitors experience breathtaking scenes, such as a jeep falling from a bridge or encounters with dinosaurs, etc.
The ride itself, whether in a tractor, jeep, minecart, or another themed vehicle, is turned into an unforgettable experience by the motion platform used even during the ride.
By combining indoor and outdoor elements, effects such as passing through a small waterfall and themed landscapes with immersive experiences can be combined. This type of ride eliminates the need for constructing large buildings for fully enclosed dark rides.
