Trade shows season has come to an end. Both in Rome and Orlando, Alterface had great success. After 7 days on the trade show floor, nearly 5000 players managed to ride and experience our new 5Di Desperados game. Had we been able to charge 5 Euro (or $5.00) per visitor… you do the math! This makes perfect sense for an FEC!
That’s precisely what many visitors did understand after seeing what Alterface has to offer. Alterface’s 5Di will soon open in France, Indonesia, Sweden, Russia, Kazakhstan, …and many more. Our Interactive Haunted House will soon thrill visitors in England, China and the United States! It’s exactly this type of proforma and wide range of products to choose from that attracted perspective buyers to commit to a purchase. Crazy Circus and our Interactive Dark Rides also generated interest from theme parks and FEC operator’s, exceeding expectations.

Backstage Connections, Our new Sales and Service Partner for Alterface in the United States
For its US customers, Alterface now offers a local sales and service point of contact! Located right in the heart of the United States, Backstage Connections has strong technical expertise in all matters related to the themed entertainment industry.
Tom Gass, owner and founder of Backstage Connections met Alterface during the installation of the Castle of Chaos interactive haunted house at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Branson. Right away, it was obvious that Tom and his team were the perfect match to Alterface’s team for a high quality level of service on American soil.
Tom Gass was born and raised in the entertainment industry. A California native, and the son of Dianne Lennon of The Lennon Sisters, Tom spent his childhood surrounded by television and live theater settings.
In 1994, Tom ventured to Branson, where he completed the installation of the lighting and sound systems for the well-known Welk Resort Theater. Upon completion, Tom was hired as the theater’s audio technician, where he worked for three seasons. Noticing a need in Branson’s entertainment industry, Tom merged his strong background in construction, renovation and restoration with a love of entertainment, bringing Backstage Connections to life in 1996. In doing so, Tom established Branson’s first full theatrical support, fabrication and supply company.
Located right in the center of the United States, Backstage Connections is the new Sales and Service Partner for all Alterface’s worldly acclaimed products: 5Di, Themed Interactive Cinema, Interactive Dark Rides and Interactive 5D Haunted House. They will work in close collaboration with Alterface’s Main Office in Belgium to provide the best services across North America.
