Triotech has secured a deal to supply its interactive ride technology for the SAGA Experience, an immersive attraction being developed in the heart of Shanghai, China, by Puy du Fou Asia.

Themed according to Shanghai's "golden period" in the 1930s, SAGA covers more than 40,000sq m and will host more than 3,500 visitors per day.

Guests will be immersed in a journey through time in a large walkthrough experience, choosing their path through 26 possible routes.

Triotech's technology will act as an introduction for guests entering SAGA, which is Puy du Fou Asia's first project in China.

Canada-based Triotech’s European division, CL Corp, has signed a deal to design and build seven dynamic platforms that will simulate a real-size train and other transportation vehicles with numerous special effects and media to transport visitors into the experience.

Nicolas de Villiers, President of Puy du Fou, said: “We're proud that our new ‘SAGA’ concept is coming to Shanghai.

"This is our first creation in China, which calls for other projects on which we are actively working with our French and Chinese teams.

"This new ultra-immersive concept in the heart of the city illustrates our ambition: to innovate and offer new thrills to the world."

France-based Puy du Fou has also revealed plans to enter the US attraction market. To read an interview with Nicolas de Villiers on the company's plans, click here for Issue 2 of Attractions Management.
