"Leading the way was a new ride system from Intamin the Multi Dimension Mover. This product gave me strong Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance vibes. It's a trackless dark ride system that has the ability to move vertically, like at the end of Disney's Star Wars ride. But there is enticing potential with Intamin's new system, especially since it includes the capability of a high-speed launch, which is not something that we've seen on trackless dark rides before."
"As for attractions that definitely will be opening next year, Dollywood continues to earn buzz for its upcoming NightFlight Expedition ride. Dollywood and manufacturer Mack Rides introduced the hybrid ride vehicle for that attraction at the IAAPA Expo. This will be the first US installation of Mack Rides' award-winning rocking boat system, which combines a dark ride with a roller coaster and river rapids ride. Dollywood's ride vehicle included the handsome decoration that one has come to expect from the Tennessee theme park."
IAAPA Expo convenes industry leaders and vendors who introduce and sell ride systems to theme and amusement parks. Intamin introduced the Multi Dimension Mover, a trackless dark-ride system capable of vertical movement and a high-speed launch. Trackless systems require strong creative design and support to become successful attractions. Dollywood and Mack Rides revealed the NightFlight Expedition hybrid vehicle, marking the first US installation of Mack's rocking boat system that blends dark ride, roller coaster, and river rapids elements. Dollywood's vehicle featured the park's characteristic detailed decoration. Other notable reveals included Universal's Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift and Six Flags' Tormenta Rampaging Run.
