All the way visitors will be accompanied by a show based on the cartoon "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
The "rolling mountain" specially for the "Island of Dreams" is created by the Swiss company Intamin, it is the world's largest manufacturer of big rides. Another difference from other slides is that they will be installed indoors, not outdoors.
The second unique attraction will be the Flying Theatre. In Europe, the first such attraction appeared only last year in Germany. It is built for us by the German company Huss Rides.
Spectators will be seated in comfortable chairs in front of a large concave spherical screen, which will create the effect of three-dimensionality and volume. The chairs will be mounted on a large swivel arm that will raise them to a height of 7 to 20 meters. Special effects - water splashes, wind, smells - will help guests immerse themselves in reality.

The third unique attraction will be the "Giant Swing", which will be located in a themed area dedicated to dinosaurs, the prehistoric world and fabulous creatures.
They will be placed in the center of a makeshift sanctuary stylized as ruins ancient city South American Indians. Guests will ride over the water jets light and music fountains and streams of artificial fire. An imitation of a flame will be created with the help of special effects.
The swing will be able to lift about 40 people at the same time to a height of up to 20 meters. They will operate in several modes - from calm to extreme, which provides for sharp changes in altitude and fast circular rotation.
This attraction was delivered to us last week. In the summer we will start its installation.
