MaxFlight Announces New "Dually" Ride System

Cash Box International, As It Happens Newsletter, Issue #117, October 17, 2001

Ever since retired Army helicopter pilot-turned-inventor Frank McClintic first thought up the unique full-motion concept that allows simulator passengers to spin 360 degrees in two different directions, MaxFlight Corporation has been operating on two separate tracks. Until recently the New Jersey based manufacturer offered both state-of-the-art interactive rides, and one-of-a-kind passive rides. Now, those separate tracks have converged with the announcement of MaxFlight's new "Dually System" which allows both passive and interactive games to be played in the same unit.

MaxFlight's Roller Coaster and Bobsled Simulators allow riders to piece together their own ride and then sit back and actually do every jump, flip, spin and spiral that they see before them on a huge 58-inch screen. -- The Two-Seat Flight Simulator and MaxZilla Monster Truck give players control of their on screen machines for stunt flying, flight training, and monster truck mayhem over a hair-raising obstacle course -- And now, with the "Dually System" (not much of a name) the fully interactive rides can also offer the excitement of a hang-on-to-your-hats roller coaster thrill ride, basically giving buyers two rides in one.

By allowing passengers to switch from full flight control to a pre-determined trip along a programmed course, the new "Dually System" (which will be seen at IAAPA next month), should prove a boon to operators of MaxFlight simulators and we're told a whole host of new programs are in development to maximize the new system.
