The SFX Coaster™ has been developed over years by a multi-disciplinary team including structural engineers, film makers and technicians. This dark ride with a narrative is a high-speed, catapult launch coaster, incorporating new coaster movement elements synchronized with high definition, immersive sound and visual presentations.

Commenting on the ride development, Dynamic Attractions' President, Peter Schnabel, said, “It was unusual to have these dramatically different disciplines together in the same room. But we found that their ideas challenged each other. The results are innovations that are year’s ahead of the industry.”

The SFX Coaster™ brings together the following ground breaking engineering innovations for the first time in one ride:

  • The Gyro Table™ allows the vehicle and the section of track below it to rotate 360° whilst rocking up and down
  • Dynamic Attractions Unveil New SFX Coaster™ at AAE BeijingWith Side-Slide™ the vehicle drops perpendicular to the direction of travel
  • The vehicle free falls and lifts up again with Track Drop™
  • Tilt & Drop™ causes the track to tilts up and down in a seesaw motion

Schnabel concludes: “Thrill-seekers want more than just a train on a track. We’ve combined spectacular storytelling and eye-popping special effects with the most technically advanced ride. This has the amusement industry’s top draws, dark rides and roller coasters, in one unbelievable experience. It is the first of its kind in an entirely new category of rides.”

The world’s first SFX Coaster™ is already under development, with an announcement expected from a well-known theme park later in 2014.

"A well known theme park". Interesting.
 
Is this what's gone in at Universal for the new Harry Potter ride? We know that rotates 360 and uses visuals.
 
^That was my first thought but then that was put together by several well-known coaster companies working together with Universal Creative and not this company. It also says it'll be announced later this year whereas Gringotts is about to open.

I'm intrigued as to what park this is going in, sounds like something Efteling would build (and would probably fit into their delayed Hartenhof plans) but we all know they're now getting a B&M. Hmm.
