Voyage to the Iron Reef
Voyage to the Iron Reef is a 4D interactive dark ride located at Knott's Berry Farm amusement park in Buena Park, California. Designed by Triotech, the underwater-themed attraction opened to the public on May 15, 2015. It is the second release in the Amusement Dark collection, an branded initiative to construct a variety of video-game-based dark rides at Cedar Fair amusement parks. Wonder Mountain's Guardian was the first in the collection that opened at Canada's Wonderland in 2014.
==History==
Cedar Fair CEO Matt Ouimet, a former Disneyland president, began a dark ride initiative shortly after joining the company in 2011. Amusement Dark, the name for the new initiative, was trademarked in 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=First Departures to Knott's Iron Reef Announced + Amusement Dark News )〕 Unlike dark rides at Disney and Universal theme parks that can cost upwards of $100 million, Cedar Fair plans to build dark ride attractions in each of its parks with budgets that are only 10% to 15% of its largest competitors, made possible by avoiding expensive intellectual property rights and repurposing dormant areas within the park. Knott's Berry Farm general manager Raffi Kaprelyan stated, “We can’t compete with Disney and Universal on budget, but we can compete on entertainment value.”
The first park in the Cedar Fair chain to incorporate such a ride was Canada's Wonderland, which opened Wonder Mountain's Guardian in 2014.〔 The part roller coaster, part dark ride attraction made use of available space in the park's Wonder Mountain area.〔 Following its success, Cedar Fair announced plans on November 13, 2014, to build its next dark ride attraction in the series, Voyage to the Iron Reef, at Knott's Berry Farm in 2015. The building selected for the new attraction formerly housed Knott’s Bear-y Tales and Kingdom of the Dinosaurs, the latter of which closed in 2004. Montreal-based Triotech, a relative newcomer to the dark ride industry, built and designed the ride.〔 It features eleven screens – ten of which are interactive – and 44 high-definition projectors. Triotech CEO Ernest Yale revealed that over 100 computers operate the ride. He described the process of seamlessly linking everything together as "really complex" in order to process millions of calculations per minute.〔
Voyage to the Iron Reef soft-opened to the media and a limited audience on May 13, 2015. It opened to the public two days later on May 15. The total cost to the park was estimated at $10 million, though the official amount was not disclosed.〔
