Christie projectors help deliver a hauntingly good time at Paultons Park
Christie 1DLP laser projectors are delivering vivid, immersive visuals at Ghostly Manor, a new dark ride at Paultons Park in Hampshire, UK. Designed and installed by Lagotronics Projects, the attraction combines physical sets, projection mapping, and interactive gameplay to create a thrilling ghost-themed adventure. Six Christie DWU1100-GS and two DWU1400-GS laser projectors bring the haunted scenes to life with precision and brightness.
Ghostly Manor uses a new ride format, Gameplay Theater, created by Mack Rides and Lagotronics Projects. Continuously rotating vehicles, each seating eight passengers back-to-back, reveal new environments with each turn. Guests are equipped with Phantom Phasers, onboard interactive“ blasters” that allow them to capture ghosts across eight unique scenes. The format allows for high guest throughput in a small circular footprint to maximize efficiency and reduce queuing, and the ride concludes with a score scene displaying guest performance and photos.
With the vehicles located close to the screen, the team had to install projectors from a high angle to avoid casting shadows from the players, while avoiding warping and blending artifacts. The result?“ The audience reactions to the ride were great. Everybody was very enthusiastic about the experience as a whole,” says Jacco Groen in‘ t Wout, CTO of Lagotronics Projects.
