MaxFlight's New "Dually" System Lands in Venezuela
Fin De Siglio Mall in Valencia First with Interactive-Passive Ride Combo

When Julio Romero saw a MaxFlight Simulator in operation at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, his TV, radio and advertising experience told him he was on to something special. When further inquiries found he could be the first to own a MaxFlight Simulator with the new ‘Dually System’, he jumped at the chance. Now the Fin De Siglio Mall in Valencia, Venezuela’s fastest growing city, is the site of the first fully interactive flight simulator that can switch to give passengers a hair-raising roller coaster thrill ride like no other on the planet. The free-standing unit is a combo of the new, interactive pilot-controlled FS2000 Two-Seat Dogfight Flight Simulator and the passive VR2002 Roller Coaster Simulator.

The VR2002 Roller Coaster Simulator allows riders to piece together their own journey through a futuristic space asteroid, then sit back and actually do every jump, flip, spin and spiral that they see before them on a huge 58 inch screen. It is a ride so realistic passengers even feel the rush of wind in their faces. The VR2002 has succeeded worldwide, bringing its compact-yet-big-attraction dynamics to amusement and entertainment venues everywhere.

With the new FS2000 Two-Seat Dogfight Flight Simulator, MaxFlight has perfected the rider-controlled full-motion action of air-to-air combat and search-and-destroy raids. Pilot and gunner careen through a daring mission, selecting targets and avoiding obstacles. Each and every movement of the joystick is actually created by MaxFlight’s one-of-a-kind 360-degree movement in two different directions. The loops, spins and nose-dives are all genuine, and crowds, revenue and repeat business are generated as the visually stunning slick blue capsule is lifted 12 feet into the air to begin its full-motion twists, banks and spirals.

Now, with the new Dually System, visitors to the Centro Comercial San Diego-Fin De Siglio Mall can enjoy a fully interactive ride that also offers the excitement of a pre-selected hang-on-to-your-hats roller coaster thrill ride. This will surely enhance New Jersey based MaxFlight’s proven track record of creating world-class simulators, succeeding on every continent, in nearly 2 dozen countries.

MaxFlight (http://www.maxflight.com), a Lakewood, New Jersey-based corporation with products placed around the planet, is a privately held company. MaxFlight Corporation designs, manufactures and sells Interactive Ride Systems for the entertainment industry.
