Popcorn Revenge
Wavre, Belgium
October 2019
There's a brand-new interactive dark ride in town! With its Victorian-style design and cinema setting, the exciting attraction at the Walibi theme park in Belgium could not have been complete without some theatrical red velvets in motion!
Trevira velvets set the mood
All around the central lobby, from where the carts embark, stylish red velvet drapes in Velours Paris CS act as fabric gateways to the various mini movie theatres where the action takes place. The permanently flame-retardant velvets are extremely resilient and ultra low-maintenance, while still maintaining the luxurious look of prestigious stage drapes. No better choice for an intensively used application like this one!
ChainTrack sets the drapes in motion
Whenever one of the carriages switches rooms, the red velvet drapes swiftly open and close automatically thanks to 8 custom ChainTrack systems controlled by a budget-friendly Chain Drive Standard motor. An exciting effect, as six carts are constantly moving in and out of the central lobby, setting all the different velvet doors in motion!
A curtain-track solution that combines reliable precision movement and track durability?
