Dynamic media-based attraction specialist Simworx has announced a new partnership with water ride experts Interlink, that will see the creation of the Immersive Superflume, a brand-new ride concept, that combines a motion base and immersive screens with a water flume ride.
Riders sail through a dinosaur themed area before entering an Immersive Tunnel. The tunnel features large immersive screens, 3D and 4K projection, combined with an audio system, to bring the story to life, and fully immerse the rider, while the ride’s movement is synced with the action on screen to heighten the experience.
After exiting the Immersive Tunnel, riders venture through a second themed area before entering a 12m vertical lift that features a variety of special effects and further theming, before plunging into a splash pool.
The Immersive Superflume is set to debut in December 2019, at a new shopping mall developed by Trans Studio in Ci Buber, outside Jakarta, Indonesia.
Terry Monkton, managing director at Simworx, says: “The Immersive Superflume is another exciting and highly entertaining addition to our continually growing product range and will bring a totally new dimension to the flume ride experience.”
Interlink’s commercial director, John Davies says: “The Immersive Superflume will take the ride to another level and will add an exciting and entertaining new element to this attraction. We are looking forward to working with Simworx to develop what I’m certain will be a very popular ride.”

attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
