Yeah watching videos doesn’t do it justice compared to being in person. The platform you sit on and the entire room surrounding you are on two different axis. The platform you sit on swings to and fro while the room around you can spin 360 in any direction.
On Hex, at the beginning of the ride, they do a cool trick where the platform starts to slant while the room around you moves at the exact same direction and pace as the platform that’s tilting. This gives a very disorienting sensation as you can feel the motion, but you see no motion going on around you. Not to mention the platform also sways in the opposite direction of the spinning room, in the direction of, etc. It’s a lot more fun that it looks, trust me!
Why none of the major parks out here have yet to adapt the ride system, especially with the digital effects that are available, is beyond me. You can have so many digital mapping and lighting effects going on to make an all-around awesome experience. It’s perfect for families, it’s slightly thrilling, it’s takes up so little space, and like 99% of the guests at the parks out here have yet to go on a Madhouse.
