Valo Motion, a pioneer in combining interactive technology with physical activities, has shared its plans to present its entire range of interactive attractions for the first time in the US at IAAPA Expo 2023.
IAAPA Expo 2023 is the leading international event for the attractions industry and is taking place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, from 13 – 17 November. The trade show floor opens on 14 November.
Delegates can meet representatives from Valo Motion at booths #4678 and #4879. The firm will be showcasing its ValoClimb, ValoJump, and ValoArena attractions.
Dr Raine Kajastila, CEO of Valo Motion, says: “All our active mixed-reality attractions are designed to meet the needs of operators and entertain guests at a wide range of amusement and leisure venues, from family entertainment and karting centers to adventure and trampoline parks.
“We are grateful to see more customers bringing in multiple Valo Motion attractions because they are seeing high utilization with low operational impact. Our team is excited to show off the whole Valo Motion product lineup and talk to operators about their businesses at IAAPA.”
Valo Motion attractions can run independently or as part of a connected ecosystem via a cloud operating system.
Presenting ValoPark & Mine Time
Valo Motion will present ValoPark at the IAAPA Expo. This is a new option for integrating Valo Motion products in a standalone destination or within an existing business. Operators and real estate developers can develop a ValoPark destination with numerous ValoJump and ValoClimb products, in addition to a ValoArena.
This immersive, physically active environment can serve as a multi-attraction anchor area for multi-use entertainment organisations, attracting families using a selection of proven mixed-reality offers which integrate sports and premium digital games.
These attractions are seamlessly incorporated into venues beginning at 4,500 square feet. Operators benefit from Valo Motion’s automated and simple-to-use products, which create a focus point with high throughput and replay value – while requiring minimal staffing.
Valo Motion will also showcase the adventure title Mine Time at IAAPA Expo, alongside the exciting titles launched earlier this year – Astro Blade and Operation: Money Grab for ValoArena, Stomp Squad for ValoJump, and Short Circuit for ValoClimb. Valo Motion has continued to deliver unique experiences that cater to a wide audience by expanding its portfolio, and released five original games in 2023 which all feature the firm’s distinctive multiplayer capabilities.
IAAPA Expo delegates can experience Mine Time at the Valo Motion booths. In this new cooperative multiplayer puzzle adventure for ValoJump, players work as a team to find hidden treasures and explore ancient caves. Depending on the players’ tactics, each 2-minute game round provides options to concentrate on quick-level completion or thorough exploration. Over 50 unique levels provide an ever-changing experience and make sure that every gameplay session is unique.
During the Expo, delegates can play Mine Time and take part in an exciting in-booth competition, and can also discover the extensive choice of games for ValoClimb, ValoJump, and ValoArena at booths #4678 and #4879.
