A groundbreaking ride, Wall Runner introduces the world’s first lateral drifting experience on a water slide. Its artfully crafted arcs will capture visitors’ attention the minute they spot it in a water park’s skyline. This billboard attraction combines everything guests love: speed, drops, highbanking turns—and adds sensational lateral G thrills.

Keeping a high speed throughout the ride, the raft climbs up each arc and swings to the next, accelerating over sideways. Wall Runner maximizes the oscillations while having the momentum of moving forward. It is as fun to ride as it is to watch.

As impressive as Wall Runner looks, it is a curved element that can be incorporated into many different slide paths; you just need a curved drop in the opposite direction before and a curved drop in the opposite direction after. It is a very versatile feature that can be added to a fusion slide.

Thanks to the way the parts are split, Wall Runner also allows for fun and colorful designs, enabling each park to customize the arcs with different gradients, patterns, or themes befitting of its brand or storyline.
Wall Runner’s versatility is also demonstrated through its ability to adapt the ride experience to different demographics. It is an all-round attraction that can feel daring and at the same time, family friendly. For example, a group of six young adults’ combined weight would result in the raft travelling faster than a raft with two adults and two children.

You can see Niagara Falls from Canada or the USA, watch the water cascade over the edge, walk behind it, or even fly over it in a helicopter. Now, there’s a whole new way to explore it.

Frontgrid, creator of iconic immersive experiences, has partnered with Rainbow Air Helicopter Tours to launch Niagara Virtual—a gamified flying adventure over one of the world’s most famous waterfalls, entirely in virtual reality (VR).

This pioneering attraction features an amphitheatre-like horseshoe of 11 ParadropVR Rize units. These combine precision motion engineering with immersive VR content to create the sensation of real flight.

Since our global launch in 2023, Pixel Games has expanded to 240 active locations worldwide, with over 300 planned by the end of 2025. That’s more than 700,000 monthly pixel plays worldwide, and we’ll hit one million per month by IAAPA Expo this November. With collaborations spanning Atari, Netflix, Ubisoft, and the iHeartRadio Festival, and more to come, we’re redefining how the world plays.

Pixel World is a next-generation, multi-room challenge attraction, designed to be either a large anchor attraction or as a stand-alone facility. Pixel World transforms the successful Pixel Games small footprint attraction into a 1-hour group experience where teams of 2-6 players compete and collaborate in a series of immersive rooms. Each room is built on the proven Pixel capacitive-touch tile technology and features unique games, puzzles, and physical challenges. Just as important, Pixel World’s modular architecture enables fast installation with minimal operator hassle.

Exterior walls can be removed for maintenance or swapped to introduce new games, allowing operators to refresh the experience without costly renovations. By blending the physical engagement of challenge-based attractions with dynamic interactive technology, Pixel World creates an endlessly evolving universe of play.

ROLLER has created a new innovation for safety in karting: a software-based safety automation system that connects directly to racetrack and karting hardware, bringing modern control and real-time intelligence to a largely manual industry.

Instead of relying on staff to spot incidents and manually slow all karts, ROLLER’s system detects on-track issues in real time and automatically slows down only the affected zone. This prevents secondary collisions — where most injuries happen — without disrupting the rest of the race.

The software integrates with existing track infrastructure to show real-time kart positions, trigger digital flagging and lighting, and adjust speeds instantly. Even younger drivers can easily follow what’s happening, and operators don’t need staff in every corner watching for problems.

Because ROLLER connects to the hardware operators already use, there’s no need for custom installations or proprietary systems. It’s fast to deploy and easy to run — a major step forward in making karting safer, more efficient, and more enjoyable for everyone involved.

To be announced at IAAPA Expo 2025.

With a rapid drop and return, Slingshot is as fun to watch as it is to ride. Designed for two-person inner tube slides, it whips riders around the corner for a high-G change of direction. It’s a quick hit, with a fast entry and sharp exit. Its sawtooth finish not only gives this switchback an intimidating appearance but also heightens the ride experience. Slingshot is a feature that redefines how slide path designers can create thrills in compact spaces. It is a novel yet easy way to add an eye-catching 180-degree open turn that effectively contains water at the same time. Slingshot is especially ideal for tight environments such as an indoor water park where space is at a premium.

Modern attractions have reached ultra-high visual impact—with advanced LED, projection mapping, and elaborate scenic design—yet sound often remains the weak link. Traditional systems struggle to deliver precise localization and consistent clarity, especially in complex spaces and moving ride vehicles. Guests may see where the action is happening, but the sound rarely matches that level of definition.

EDC Acoustics’ Volumetric Wave Field Synthesis (VWFS) solves this challenge by placing the sound field within the audience or ride car, creating true 3D-localized audio that perfectly aligns with the visual storytelling.

VWFS loudspeaker modules can be seamlessly integrated into ride vehicles, architectural elements, seating, ceilings, or even floors, allowing designers to create immersive audio experiences without compromising sightlines or theming. Advanced phase and delay algorithms synchronize every speaker in the environment, delivering near-field precision, consistent SPL, and ultra-low latency that stays locked to visuals—even in
motion.

VWFS integrates seamlessly into both fixed audience spaces and mobile ride platforms, blending onboard and offboard audio without loss of clarity. It scales effortlessly—from intimate theaters and dark rides to stadium-sized installations—while reducing noise bleed into surrounding areas through precise energy control.

The result: every seat becomes the best seat, every ride car its own immersive soundstage, and every guest hears the story with the same impact they see.
