Project Description
VR-Experiences & Fire Zone, exhibit design
Universe Science Park, 2021
As trusted design partner since 2018, Leisure Expert Group was tasked by Universe Science Park to provide design services for the renewal of 2 sections in their park. An older science pavilion and the VR “Cumulus” Building have been upgraded for the 2021 season. The Science pavilion was turned into the ‘Fire Zone’ science exhibit and the VR-Building received a new interior lay-out and a more modern graphic interior design with a completely new brand identity.

Learning by simulation
For the Fire Zone exhibit, we developed a conceptual narrative behind the phenomenon of Fire itself. What is it? And what dangers come with it? Together with the team at Universe, we developed a burning house simulation to make guests aware how they should respond to a stressfull and dangerous environment without actually being at risk.
Graphic Design
For the VR area we have created a unique graphical style to emphasize the technology aspect of VR. We created the print graphics for walls and signage within the building which respect the custom style guide we created for these exhibits.

Land of Legends
Land of Legends is a unique new themed area at Bobbejaanland with a completely new coaster, yet it is also an upgrade of some existing rides to the current thematic standards within the European theme park industry.

Having worked with Movie Park before on ‘Walking Dead®: Breakout’ and ‘Excalibur: Secrets of the Dark Forest’, we were asked to help with the redevelopment of a distant corner in Nickland.
