2010 - Interactive Dark Ride - Planning - (3/10/10) Tusenfyrd is preparing to build a new trackless haunted house dark ride inside their existing haunted house, and according to this link they are looking for help naming the new ride. Today they’ve send out word that this will be a first of its kind attraction in Europe along with a video link showing off that new 5D haunt attraction that opened in Branson, MO last fall for The House by AlterFace.
(10/22/09) A local source tells us that Tusenfryd is planning on building a new interactive dark ride for 2010. The exact theme apparently hasn’t been finalized as they have put out a guest survey to get feedback on three different themes: “Escape from Dragon’s Den” - Dragon’s Den sounds more like a Dragon themed version of an escape from Jurassic Park. “A dragon professor welcomes you to take a look at a unique world with dragons in their natural habitat. He says you will be among the first to glimpse these creatures alive. Have no fear, he says, you will be safe during the voyage through the dragon den.” Sure… until something goes horribly wrong and you end up somewhere you shouldn’t be fighting for your life. “The Dragon Hunt” - Dragon Hunt goes retro, and you venture down into an underground world of caverns to recapture a bunch of escaped dragons. “The dragons, which come in all sizes, some friendly and some not so friendly, are hidden everywhere. The more dragons you shoot, the higher your score. Will you manage to become an official “Dragon Hunter?” “Dracula” – In a chapel a priest welcomes you and brings everyone up to speed on how Dracula and his minions have been terrorizing a local village. “Suddenly the candle lights flicker and the room turns dark. Thunder rolls and lightning flashes. When the lights come on again, the priest has disappeared and the walls are covered with blood.” From here the riders board to vehical and drive through the village, into the forest, and toward’s Dracula’s castle for the final showdown. I’ve got to go for Dracula myself… and then maybe Escape from Dragon’s Den if nothing else…
