Theme Parks are such an fascinating corner of the entertainment industry, and this is a really exciting article. Immersion is one of the (legacy but also) current cornerstones of themed entertainment, and the way it is approached just keeps getting elevated all around the world. I really love the idea that the guest is not just necessarily aiming to get points or get to a specific objective (point A to point B) but instead trying to understand and discover the world that the ride is living in as a whole through the lens of a game mechanic. The renderings in this article are also gorgeous - this is one of the rides which I think would be a genuine delight to experience in person. I fully believe that this style of ride will become more popular across the world as we lean deeper into the world of the immersive experience. I look forward to seeing the photos from this ride when it becomes a reality.
I often associate Six flags with thrill coasters that don't have much theming or flair so it was very interesting to read about a new Six Flags park with more themed elements. I grew up right by a six flags and know I personally would have loved to have a secret enchanted garden themed experience by my house. As a dark academia interested person I was deeply fascinated with this sprayer theme and idea. I think the use of gun like instruments in dark rides is an overused trope and I am excited to see how Six Flags pivots off of this idea in there new ride. My only main complaint when it comes to this pitch is that it is not closer to either my Pittsburg or St.Louis home. I am oh so excited to see what comes of these pieces of theming that are not based off of a franchise like DC which many of the more modern Six Flags rides I am familiar with are.
