Dark ride game equipment
The long-format dark ride: a 300–600 m stereoscopic track, hybrid-drive 6-DOF rail cars, real props mixed with 4K projection, and a published daily capacity of 4,000–5,000 guests.
The dark ride game equipment is the flagship tracked format in the line, designed for attractions that run all day. Its track and power system uses a stereoscopic orbit — complex path designs including climbing, diving and sharp turns, typically 300–600 metres in length — and supports multiple degrees of freedom of vehicle movement along it. The vehicles are hybrid rail cars with hydraulic and electric hybrid drive, achieving 6 degrees of freedom of dynamic motion such as swinging, bumping and falling simulation as they travel the scenes.
The immersive scene system combines virtual and real scenery: real mechanical props (such as volcano and flood installations) are combined with high-definition projection screens — 4K resolution metal screens covering a 180-degree field of view — with environmental effects integrated across the ride. The published operating efficiency is a single experience of 5–6 minutes and a maximum daily reception capacity of 4,000–5,000 people.
Safety is specified, not implied: the published specification states compliance with Class A standards for large-scale amusement facilities, equipped with redundant braking systems and emergency evacuation routes. Buyers working at a smaller scale should compare the dark ride motion simulator, and buyers speccing a complete park package should read the dark ride equipment reference configuration.
Basic composition
- Track and power system — stereoscopic orbit with climbing, diving and sharp-turn path design, typically 300–600 m; hybrid hydraulic-electric rail cars.
- Immersive scene system — real mechanical props combined with 4K metal projection screens over a 180-degree field of view; integrated environmental effects.
- Dynamic vehicle — 6-DOF motion, 6–8 passengers per car, 500–800 kg load capacity, hydraulic drive pressure 20–35 MPa.

What to confirm for your project
- Track length is a site decision: 300–600 m of stereoscopic track with 45-degree slopes drives building volume, so fix the building envelope before the scene list.
- Confirm the scene production scope — physical props, media and effects are separate budget lines in a ride of this format; the dark ride content production notes explain what content work involves.
- Ask about minimum order requirements and lead time for your proposed configuration — including how track fabrication and media production schedules factor into the lead time.
Buyer questions
How many guests can it handle per day?
The published maximum daily reception capacity is 4,000–5,000 people, on a 5–6 minute single experience. Your dispatch interval and fleet size decide where in that range a given layout lands.
What track layouts are possible?
The stereoscopic orbit supports complex path designs — climbing, diving and sharp turns — at typically 300–600 metres in length with a maximum slope of 45 degrees. The layout is designed to your building.
What safety systems are included?
The published specification states compliance with Class A standards for large-scale amusement facilities, with redundant braking systems and emergency evacuation routes built in.
