Premier Rides is installing a 'one of a kind' immersive dark-ride experience in Qatar’s capital city Doha.
The dramatic reverse magnetic coaster will
launch through the roof of the building soaring to a height of nearly 60m, followed by a thrilling
coaster experience at the Doha Oasis, a mixed use development currently under construction.
US-based roller
coaster design and manufacturing firm Premier Rides has partnered with Qatar developer, Halul Real Estate Investment
Company, to develop the cutting-edge product with an unforgettable experience for riders.
The
development will offer a high end
residentences, a retail complex, an exclusive 7-star high-rise hotel tower and an indoor theme park.
With the engineering and fabrication processes for the ride now
complete, the exporting process has officially begun.
Premier estimates a total of approximately 100 shipments will be made over the next two
months.
Jim Seay, president of Premier Rides said: “The
iconic 60m tall, fully-enclosed roller coaster tower will allow riders a spectacular
view of the city while remaining in a controlled climate setting.
“Halul’s project will be a showcase in the run up to the 2022 World Cup.”
The attraction, with its highly secret theme, will be the tallest and largest thrill
ride in Qatar, and one of the tallest in all of the Middle East.
It is a custom special-effects ride
that combines an immersive dark ride, magnetic drive technology, high-speed switches and a
dynamic ride experience with a multi-sensory thrill ride.
Hasan Abu Rub,
project director for Halul Real Estate Investment Company said: “We wanted a signature ride that
would have a global impact. Together we will create for our valued visitors a one of a kind
world class attraction.”
