WINNIPEG, August 16, 2012 – Empire Industries Ltd. (TSX-V: EIL) today announced that its Dynamic Attractions business unit has finalized a contract to design, fabricate, and export two of its proprietary flying theatre attractions for a Chinese theme park. The work associated with this contract, is valued in excess of $10 million and will be executed over the next year.
Guy Nelson, CEO of Empire Industries, emphasized that this new contract represents a key milestone for Empire’s new Dynamic Attractions unit, launched in November during the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions’ annual trade show and conference. The company announced the formation of Dynamic Attractions to focus on providing turnkey attractions for the entertainment industry.
“We believe that the Asian market, especially China, will be enormous for media based attractions in the coming years,” said Guy Nelson, Chief Executive Officer of Empire Industries. “The growth of the Chinese middle class is resulting in increases in demand for entertainment options. Our Dynamic Attractions business unit has aggressively established itself as a leader in the most important emerging market in the attractions industry with some of the most innovative media based attractions available.”
This state-of-the art, media-based attraction delivers a unique sense of “flying” as it seamlessly integrates dynamic motion with digital projected media. The dynamic motion platform rotates guests from a horizontal to a vertical position in a totally immersive theater environment, giving spectators a bird’s eye view and a feeling of flight and exhilaration.
Dynamic Structures, a sister business unit, has already delivered over 50 successful projects for major theme parks worldwide, and will continue to manufacture the ride platforms for Dynamic Attractions.
