Project Description
Tweestryd, full design
Wildlands Adventure Zoo, 2018
Leisure Expert Group has already successfully completed multiple projects in collaboration with Wildlands in the past and is pleased to have been a part of this amazing project as well. Together with their creative team, we have been responsible for the full design of the new ‘Tweestryd’ a dueling racing coaster. Throughout this project it was important to stay in connection with the zoo environment and to incorporate an educational element. The decided theme of the coaster was a closed African mine which tells riders the stories about coal mines and how they affect nature, wildlife and humans. During the ride, riders race each other to gather donations for the ActionAid, an organization that works to recover the damages to nature and society by coal mines globally.

Besides the theming, Leisure Expert Group was also responsible for the audio and light integration at Tweestryd. We integrated a light-show and a timing monitor to the station so guests can see which side of the coaster has won and to compare times. These two AV-effects surely add to the ride experience of the guests and many of them return to try and beat their own time or their friends!
