Brogent Technologies Inc., a leading manufacturer of media-based attractions, showcased its newest innovations at IAAPA Expo Asia 2026, featuring advanced ride systems, expanded content offerings, and a strategic partnership with a renowned Japanese intellectual property.

The company's latest innovation, R-Ride, is a motion theatre featuring a 360-degree panoramic screen, advanced motion seating, and a 360-degree rotation system.


Rotating at 8 RPM, it offers a seamless yet adrenaline-fueled experience. This integrated system immerses guests directly in the action, bringing tornadoes, sandstorms, and giant monster attacks to life with remarkable realism.

Brogent will introduce R-Ride at VinWonders in Vietnam, with plans for the attraction to open in Q4 2027.

Additionally, Brogent presented several new attractions created for VinWonders, such as the o-Ride Flying Theater, known as the first LED-based flying theatre in Southeast Asia, and the v-Ride 360 Motion Theater, a balloon-inspired ride that mimics the feeling of soaring in a hot air balloon.

The product lineup also features v-Ride Vessel, an immersive sea-adventure platform with 100 seats, and a Planetarium Theater designed for astronomical exploration.

Together, these systems showcase Brogent’s ability to provide a wide variety of media-based attraction solutions across different formats.

Immersive content

Alongside its hardware advancements, Brogent continues to develop immersive content.

Building on the success of Africa, the inaugural film in the Volare Over Earth series, the company is developing a new set of films to broaden storytelling possibilities and promote worldwide exploration.

Following Africa, Brogent’s twelve-episode flying theatre series, Volare Over Earth, continues with Japan, a new flying theatre experience based on an international co-produced TV programme developed by NHK and Brogent.

This series offers more than just a visual journey; it examines the connection between landscape and culture, showing how water and wind influence life cycles and human experiences.

For example, Niagara takes viewers on an aerial tour of one of the world’s most famous natural landmarks, blending stunning visuals with historical and cultural stories, while Switzerland takes audiences through various settings, from alpine terrain to lakes and extreme-sports hubs.

Key partnerships in Asia

Brogent has also partnered with Toho Global Inc. to create a new immersive flying theatre attraction, Godzilla the Ride: Great Clash.

The project is penned and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, who won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects for Godzilla Minus One.

Known for his innovative visual storytelling and technical mastery, Yamazaki brings a unique creative vision and maintains high cinematic standards, enhancing a much-loved IP with a cutting-edge immersive experience.

By combining advanced ride systems with high-quality cinematic content and strategic partnerships, Brogent delivers engaging experiences that cater to the evolving tastes of audiences worldwide.

Last week, the company also announced the opening of the new Ciaotou Science Park Branch in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The facility serves as a state-of-the-art centre for research, development, manufacturing, system integration, and testing, enhancing Brogent’s capabilities in the international attractions industry.
