New at Knott’s Berry Farm :: Voyage to the Iron Reef

 

KNOTT’S ANNOUNCES NEW INTERACTIVE 4-D ATTRACTION
FOR 2015
Voyage To The Iron Reef Will Submerge Guests Under The Boardwalk In An Interactive Media-Based 4-D Adventure To Save The Theme Park

 

 

Knott’s Berry Farm has created a spectacular interactive 4-D ride for the entire family. New for 2015, Voyage to the Iron Reef is one ride you won’t want to miss! Guests who have what it takes to become deep sea navigators climb aboard submarine-inspired ride vehicles and embark on an adventure into the Iron Reef that combines the fun of a theme park ride with the interactivity of high tech video games.  We love these types of rides where you ride in a moving vehicle and shoot at the creatures that come out at you from all directions! We like to compete with each other for the highest score.  When my daughter was smaller, we would let her win (don’t tell her) but now she is so good, my husband and I really try to beat her – which rarely happens!

Can You Save Knott’s Berry Farm from a Watery Doom?!

Brave deep sea navigators will climb aboard four-person submarine-inspired ride vehicles and embark on the four-minute gaming adventure into the Iron Reef. Equipped with an interactive freeze ray, guests will aim for ballooning puffer fish, an iron clad octopus and other exciting 3-D creatures as they attempt to blast the most sea life and save Knott’s from a watery doom.
Through enchanting underwater forests, disorienting ocean current tunnels, and mysterious mechanical wreckage, high definition 3-D animation will
surround guests at every turn. Along the way, the submarines navigate 600 feet of track and 11 scenes featuring hundreds of media-based creatures and live action special effects.

Riders aim their freeze rays at the Kraken Queen’s army of menacing sea creatures and compete against each other to blast the highest score and save Knott’s from a watery doom. Altogether, it’s an interactive voyage that features a different experience every time and reacts to the actions and accuracy of the guests onboard. Following the thrilling finale, the number of creatures taken is digitally displayed onboard and in the undock area.
