This is something cool. A company called TRIOTECH has developed a couple of arcade/ motion simulator rides.  These are small arcade size products that uses the motion simulator technique to give a theme park ride experiences. For example one they have is called Typhoon.

The Typhoon is a mad wave motion arcade ride.  The special thing about this is that it has a wind machine on its cabinet. So, when you ride this you will feel the wind and you have choices like artic run, or crazy coaster to ride.
Another product they have is XD theater 4D extreme motion ride.

This is XD Theater is one that can be easily setup mostly at places like malls, arcades, hotels, restaurants, or theme parks. This is supposedly a cheap and easy way to setup your own theater motion simulator ride with choices like cosmic coaster, aqua ride, or Journey to the center of the earth.

Another company dealing in motion rides is InMotion Simulatorion.
Check this video out of their demo.

Some of their products use no-limits software for their coaster demos.


Here's one that's really crazy. Quake cafe.

I remember seeing this at TGS(Tokyo Game Show).

So, What do you guy's think. Do you want to see this at your local mall or at hotels. How about those resturants like Buster and Dave or TGIF? I guess if the products is good enough it doesn't mater where it goes. Just as long as it's good. I tell you what, Freestyle park could use more of these then that Monster starz ride.
Here are the company links.

Oh yeah! I'd love to see more of these types of attractions.  These are pretty cool. The 4 passenger simulator made me realize the importance of looking forward. Just looking at that one gets me a little queasy, but I think that if one focuses on the screen then it's not nearly as bad as it looks. lol!

All in all, this is great stuff to have anywhere.
