Located at the entrance of the park in the Hollywood Street Set area, the attraction replaces the former “The Lost Temple” experience and reimagines the space as a fully immersive film studio adventure. Guests are transported behind the scenes at Paramount Pictures, moving from scene to scene through the backstage of a working movie set. Guests are set to be extras in their first movie, and they learn all about that process through the detailed movie sets, special effects, and cinematic storytelling moments inspired by real Hollywood filmmaking.

������ is excited to continue its collaboration on this attraction, leveraging its immersive simulation technology, which has been upgraded and reprogrammed specifically for the new experience. Working alongside creative and technical partners, including Paramount Creative, P&P Projects and IMAmotion, ������ helped transform the existing attraction infrastructure into a next-generation multimedia adventure that combines motion simulation, projection technology, practical effects, and synchronised motion to deliver an elevated storytelling experience.

The climax of the experience combines a specially produced Paramount Pictures film with ������’s dynamic motion simulation platform, immersing guests in a dramatic showdown deep inside the mysterious Forbidden Chamber. Enhanced with lasers, projection mapping, fire effects, lighting, and surround audio, the attraction is designed to blur the line between cinema and reality. The attraction also reflects the growing trend toward media-driven experiences that maximise the existing ride infrastructure while delivering entirely new guest experiences. Originally opened in 2014, the previous attraction utilised a ������ Immersive Tunnel system, the first of its kind in the world. The new transformation demonstrates how immersive media attractions can evolve through updated intellectual property, advanced projection systems, and enhanced storytelling techniques.

As part of the redevelopment, the attraction has been modernised with next-generation Panasonic projection technology and updated show systems to improve immersion and guest comfort. The experience has also transitioned from 3D to high-quality 2D presentation, creating a more accessible and comfortable viewing experience for families and a broader audience.

Following the main attraction experience, guests enter the “Paramount Showroom,” an interactive post-show space featuring original costumes, movie trailers, themed photo opportunities, and authentic Hollywood studio-inspired exhibits. The addition further strengthens Movie Park Germany’s “Hollywood in Germany”.

“We are delighted to see Journey to the Forbidden Chamber officially open at Movie Park Germany and to have played a role in bringing this ambitious new attraction to life. This project demonstrates how immersive media attractions can continue to evolve through innovative storytelling, upgraded technology, and strong creative partnerships. By combining dynamic simulation, cinematic media content, and practical effects, the attraction delivers a truly engaging experience that places guests right at the centre of the action. We are proud to continue our long-standing relationship with Movie Park Germany and look forward to seeing guests experience this exciting new adventure.” Says ������ CEO Terry Monkton.

The project highlights ������’s continued expertise in delivering flexible, media-driven attractions for theme parks and entertainment destinations worldwide. By combining advanced simulation technology with immersive storytelling and globally recognised entertainment brands, ������ continues to help operators create memorable attractions that appeal to both families and thrill-seekers alike.

������, a global designer and manufacturer of immersive media-based attractions, has announced the launch of its latest installation: the Pegasus Flying Theatre, now open as the headline attraction at Nickelodeon Play! located in Tersane, Istanbul.

The installation marks the debut of ������’s Pegasus Flying Theatre system within a Nickelodeon-themed environment, bringing a high-energy flying theatre experience to one of Istanbul’s newest family entertainment destinations.

At the heart of the experience is a 40-seat Pegasus motion base theatre, designed to deliver a fully immersive flying sensation. Guests board the attraction from two separate loading levels, enabling efficient throughput while maintaining accessibility for riders of all ages. Once seated, riders are positioned in front of a large projection screen, where synchronised motion, visuals, and environmental effects combine to create the sensation of soaring through the air.

The attraction experience, titled “Nickelodeon Journeys,” takes guests on an aerial adventure aboard the iconic Nickelodeon blimp. Throughout the flight, riders travel across vibrant worlds inspired by some of Nickelodeon’s most beloved characters and franchises. Along the journey, guests encounter fan favourites including Dora, PAW Patrol, SpongeBob SquarePants, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, creating a multi-generational experience that appeals to families and young fans alike.

The Pegasus Flying Theatre has been designed by ������ as a highly adaptable and space-efficient alternative to traditional flying theatre systems. While large-scale flying theatres often require expansive buildings and complex infrastructure, the Pegasus offers operators a more flexible solution that can be integrated into a wider variety of venues.

������ CEO Terry Monkton commented, “Following the strong reception Pegasus received after its debut at IAAPA Expo in Orlando, we’re delighted to see the system now launching in its first permanent installation at Nickelodeon Play! in Tersane, Istanbul. This project showcases the flexibility of the Pegasus Flying Theatre and demonstrates how flying theatre experiences can be delivered in a wider range of venues. We’re excited for this installation to set the stage for many more Pegasus attractions around the world.”

In addition to the standard theatre configuration installed at Nickelodeon Play! the Pegasus platform is available in several alternative formats tailored to different operational needs. One such version is the Mobile Pegasus, a fully transportable flying theatre designed for touring attractions, temporary installations, and travelling entertainment experiences. This configuration allows operators to bring the immersive flying theatre concept to multiple locations worldwide, expanding audience reach without requiring a permanent build.For venues with more limited space, ������ also offers Pegasus Pods. These compact units provide a highly immersive ride format where guests are seated within their own half-dome projection environment, placing them directly at the centre of the action. Despite the smaller footprint, Pegasus Pods maintain the core elements of the flying theatre experience, including synchronised motion and wraparound visuals.

By blending well-known Nickelodeon characters with ������’s dynamic motion systems, Nickelodeon Play! aims to deliver a memorable experience that encourages repeat visits from families and fans. With the launch of the Pegasus Flying Theatre at Tersane Istanbul, ������ continues to expand its portfolio of installations worldwide, demonstrating how flexible ride systems can bring high-impact immersive entertainment to a wide range of venues.

Acknowledging that stadium viewing has stagnated since the days of ancient Greek amphitheatres, despite remarkable technological progress in Sports Stadium Design and Build, the viewing aspect has fundamentally remained the same since the days of ancient Greek amphitheatres – you are sat in the same position throughout the event! The C360 concept offers a visionary reimagination with each C360 pod able to travel the complete circumference of a stadium its immersive 360-degree perspective grants spectators unparalleled vistas of the action, heralding a profound evolution in stadium experiences. Beyond enhancing venues, C360 elevates them to coveted destinations for top-tier global sporting events and concerts, thus revolutionising the VIP market and cementing C360-equipped stadiums as the premier choice for corporate hospitality.

Spectators will embark on their journey from VIP suites within the stadium prior to the event. The viewing pods, smoothly and seamlessly guided by advanced computer systems and laser sensors, will rotate around the venue, ensuring that no moment of the action is missed as it experiences views from all angles – something that a traditional seat simply cannot offer. This integration ensures that all executive suites, regardless of their location, can provide the same exceptional viewing experience, thereby generating higher and more evenly distributed revenues compared to traditional stadium setups.

Each viewing pod will boast lavish seating and integrated touchscreen tablets, along with digital advertising opportunities on the exterior and within the pod itself. These digital interfaces will enhance the customer experience by offering services such as in-seat food and beverage ordering, gamification, fantasy football, and game replays. Additionally, the advertising opportunities presented by these interfaces will create significant additional revenue streams for the venue.

The system is designed for seamless integration into both new stadium designs and an option to retrofit into existing arenas. With many components prefabricated off-site, installation time is significantly reduced, making it feasible to complete most retrofit projects within a single off-season period.

As leaders in the design and manufacture of media-based attractions, this new venture marks ������’s leap into the sports entertainment sector. ������ along with C360 International is excited to spearhead the future of live sports and entertainment viewing, leveraging its expertise to deliver unparalleled experiences for audiences worldwide.

Also joining the C360 team is Carl England, with 20 years of International experience gained from holding senior commercial positions at leading brands such as Disney, Timberland and Umbro, leading to a successful career as a NED and CEO within the Sports, Tech and Media markets. Carl will be heading up the plethora of commercial and brand activation opportunities this innovative technology offers. 

Following a successful launch at the Coliseum Global Sports Venue Alliance, Trade Summit held at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 26 & 27^th March, the C360 team is in place and looks forward to engaging with Stadium Designers, Developers and Operators worldwide to ensure that your stadium incorporates the latest technological innovative upgrades that will deliver the ultimate in fan engagement in the stadium, with an immersive, enhanced digital experience that can generate significant incremental revenues
