2013 Neuheit: Thors Hammer (Interaktiver Darkride) @ Tusenfryd - Norwegen

[Mario M.]

Norwegens größter Freizeitpark (Tusenfryd) hat angekündigt das man zum 25. jährigen Jubiläum des Parks die 3. größte Investition der Parkgeschichte tätigen will. Gebaut werden soll ein interaktiver Darkride.

Hier mal ein Artwork:

Hier mal einige Fakten:

Investition: 46 Mio. norwegische Kronen (ca. 6,2 Mio. €)
Theming: Fahrt durch die dunkle nordische Mythologie
Kapazität pro Stunde: 800 Personen
Technik: Interaktiver Darkride mit modernster 3D Technik

Die Attraktion soll einzigartig in Europa sein und extra für den Park entwickelt werden!

Für 6,2 Millionen € lässt sich da aber nicht viel reissen wenn man dann noch die Entwicklungskosten mit einrechnet.

Das hört sich sehr gut an:

The Dutch design firm P&P Projects is currently working on plans for as many as seven dark rides in Europe and the USA – including a 3D adventure for Tusenfryd in Oslo, Norway.

“For years rides like Spider-Man were beyond the reach of many parks because of the cost,” notes P&P founder Philipp van Stratum. “The falling price of technology has made these kinds of attractions much more affordable and we can confirm that the budget for Tusenfryd is a fraction of what was paid for Spider-Man all those years ago; however we have still aim to put the bar very high.”
The park’s owner, Parques Reunidos is quoting an investment of €6.5 million for the attraction, working title Mijolnir. The “baby” of Tusenfryd director Bjørn Solli Havard, the experience will not be interactive, partly because the park already offers such an experience in its Alterface ‘5D’ Haunted House.
P&P will provide turnkey theming and content. The storyline will be based around rich Norse mythology, as riders go to battle with the Hammer of Thor. The content will be delivered as a mix of 3D and 2D media across 11 scenes, complemented by various theming – but no animatronics.
“If you’ve got good content on screen, you don’t really need any moving figures as it only distracts from the rest of action,” observes van Stratum. “We hope that this ride will be like an action movie brought to life!”
The project will open in May 2013, and bring new life to cave-like building that housed a older Viking ride which had stood idle for several years.

Und ich hatte gedacht, Parques Reunidos hätte so gut wie kein Geld mehr für Neuheiten

, oder gibt es da bestimmt Parks in die noch investiert wird und in andere Parks nicht mehr?

Der Ride bekommt wohl die neuste Entwicklung von ETF verpasst:

Die LA Times schreibt folgendes über die Attraktion:

Thor's Hammer dark ride set to debut at Norway's Tusenfryd

A new motion simulator-based dark ride that tells the story of Norse gods and mythical monsters with 3-D scenes and special effects is set to debut at a Norwegian theme park this summer.

Photos: Thor's Hammer dark ride at Norway's Tusenfryd

Drawing on Nordic mythology, the $8.5-million Thor's Hammer dark ride will open in May at Tusenfryd, a Parques Reunidos theme park located in Oslo, Norway.

Code-named Prosjekt Mjolner, the new four-minute dark ride will feature interactive elements, fire and wind special effects and 3-D computer-generated imagery projected on 10 movie screens.

Set at the time of the Norse gods, Thor’s hammer (known as Mjolner) has been stolen by the evil god Loki. Riders are sent on a mission to catch Loki and recover the hammer. Traveling through a forest, river, cave, castle and the battle of Ragnarok, riders will encounter scenes of Loki as a wolf, a sea serpent and a dragon.

Dutch design firm P&P Projects describes Thor's Hammer as an "action movie brought to life," comparing the ride experience to the Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man at Universal's Islands of Adventure theme park in Orlando, Fla.

Thor's Hammer is expected to feature the newest dark ride vehicle from ETF Ride Systems, a rolling, pitching and rotating trackless motion simulator presented at the 2012 International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Expo in Orlando.

Designed for teens and young adults, the "thrilling and scary" Thor's Hammer will reuse the cave-like Toktet dark ride building that has stood idle for several years.
