INTERACTIVE
MEDIA DARK RIDE
​Smash & Reload is a compact and interactive family dark ride where physical and digital worlds merge into one immersive experience. The attraction combines intuitive gameplay, a fun storyline and a smart ride system, built around a simple two-step action: 'smash' and 'reload'. Designed for high capacity and maximum flexibility, Smash & Reload can be integrated into an existing building or developed as a new premium attraction.
Rotatable trackless vehicles, immersive sound and projection technologies guide players through four interactive scenes during a 4-minute ride, making it an ideal indoor family attraction. The high scoring ensures repeat visits, whilst the media can be easily upgraded with custom messages and for seasonal activities.
THE FAMILY
Smash & Reload comes in three scalable sizes to fit any venue while delivering a premium dark-ride experience. S&R Mini transforms just 144 m² into a visually striking circular attraction, offering an authentic dark ride with a throughput of over 260 guests per hour. Ideal to create the ultimate FEC landmark or entertainment in shopping malls.
S&R Original brings large-scale immersion to compact spaces of around 225 m², using smart design, rich decors, and media to create the illusion of three times the space. While accommodating up to 430 guests per hour, this version is ideal for regional parks. S&R Maxi takes your attraction to the next level with a robust throughput of 600 people per hour, making it the ultimate choice for medium-sized and larger parks.
ENGAGING STORY
During the ride players are fully immersed into a themed universe featuring TooMush, Voodoo Festival or a Custom IP. Each storyline combines a fun and intuitive gameplay with high-scoring to encourage repeat visits. Seasonal versions with adjusted media and theming are available in a scarier Halloween or a cosier Christmas edition.
​
AI-enhanced characters react dynamically to player actions and create surprising moments and varying experiences. The theming in the ride is completely aligned with the story and media scenes, combining a mix of 2D and 3D elements to ensure an engaging environment.
