California’s Great America amusement park will open a new ride for Mass Effect fans this month. EA and Bioware have taken part in the making of the new holographic journey that takes place during the original trilogy and thus includes familiar settings and characters from the popular game series. There has been talk of Shepard, Garrus and Wrex showing up in the adventure, as well as the dreaded reapers. Some well known scenes like the Citadel and the Normandy are told to be included in the story too. Sounds like a Mass Effect fan’s dream come true! The new ride will use the world’s largest LED screen, 3D glasses, motion based seating and real actors to create an exciting experience.
At Great America’s website introducing the new ride there were comments from both EA and Great America about Mass Effect New Earth:
“Teaming with a world-wide gaming leader like EA will enable us to build an incredible user experience for Great America guests,” said California’s Great America Vice President and General Manager Raul Rehnborg. “This combination of technology and creative video game content is sure to usher in a new wave of entertainment innovation at amusement parks.”
“EA and BioWare are thrilled to partner with Great America and see one of our most iconic games turned into an exciting high-tech attraction,” said Patrick O’Brien, Vice President of Entertainment and Licensing, EA. “Having a partner who shares our commitment to thrilling our fans is extremely important to us and we look forward to building an attraction that will appeal to the Mass Effect fan-base and introduce it to many more.”
The North American geeks and gamers have such thrilling times ahead of them. I for one am at the moment very, very jealous for not living in the USA!
