Laff Trakk
In 2015, Visual Terrain brought to life the world’s first “Glow Coaster” at Hersheypark in Pennsylvania. This 360-degree spinning roller coaster takes guests on a thrilling journey through a funhouse. Lighting was strategically placed to illuminate the large props the ride passes through, while maintaining a dark environment within the show building to direct riders’ gazes. All fixtures were designed to remain outside the ride envelope and were made easily accessible for maintenance purposes.
Crayola Experience
The Crayola Experience in Orlando, Florida, is a unique FEC based on the well-known crayon brand. Visual Terrain was responsible for the lighting design across 25 attractions within the venue, creating an illuminated and colourful experience.
