Breathtaking
Worlds

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.

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.
