NINJAGO: The Ride opening @ Legoland!
LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort will be opening it’s newest ride this coming November! NINJAGO: The Ride is an attraction that sets to redefine Park guests’ perceptions of an indoor ride.
With technology that never before seen at any other theme parks in the world, NINJAGO: The Ride is manufactured by Triotech, world leader in media based interactive attractions, and features Maestro hand gesture technology that enables guests to control the outcome of their adventure through the power of their hand gestures without the use of a hand-held device.
The attraction is set to be a 4D dark ride inspired by the popular LEGO® line of NINJAGO toys and a related TV series. Riders play as Ninja warriors in training under the guidance of NINJAGO character Master Wu to vanquish a legion of enemies from snake tribes, ghosts and skeletons to the Great Devourer.
LEGOLAND Parks being the first in the world to leverage the cutting-edge technology, first launched the NINJAGO Ride in Billund, Denmark earlier this year, followed by the California Resort in April, and now, it’s bringing it to Malaysia, the first ever in Asia!
Using Triotech’s Maestro hand gesture technology, riders are provided with a virtual experience of the ride as hand movements will be registered by sensors on lap bars which in turn directs the virtual projectiles towards the screen. Additionally, sensory effects like heat, smoke and wind will be provided, for an immersive virtual experience through skeleton-filled caves and lava streams.
This is the largest additional investment since the opening of the after the launch of its Theme Park, Hotel and Water Park.
Estimated at more than RM $40 million, the breakthrough attraction promises to be a real game-changer to theme parks around the world. Set to be opened to public in November this year, the NINJAGO: The Ride will be housed in a brand new section of the Park called NINJAGO World.
Keeping up with your kid’s desires!
“Understanding how children these days are hooked on mobile devices and high-tech games, LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort sought to ensure that our rides reflect that trend and continue to captivate the attention of our guests. LEGOLAND is proud to be the first in the world to bring this exciting new generation of rides to our guests, redefining their expectations of theme park rides.
And now, we are bringing it to Malaysia too, we welcome all of you to join us to be the first Ninja Rider in Asia! You will definitely feel like you’re a part of the NINJAGO series as you hurl color-coded projectiles – fire and ice balls, spheres of lighting and shock waves – at animated creatures that appear to jump out of the screen.
This ride will be fun for both parents and their children, a must for all our aspiring Ninjas among our guests!” shared Mark Germyn, General Manager, LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort.
