# 4D Sci-Fi Theme Parks The 'Mass Effect' Video Game Trilogy is Becoming a Thrilling Attraction Park By Cadhla Gray | Published 2015-10-05 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/attraction-park References: [theverge](http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/30/9421479/mass-effect-theme-park-attraction-great-america) & [blog.bioware](http://blog.bioware.com/2015/09/29/revisit-the-galaxy-aboard-a-new-mass-effect-theme-park-attraction/) Another [attraction park is coming to California](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-theme-park), this time inspired by the [science fiction video game trilogy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindseye-game) 'Mass Effect.' The theme park is sure to have rides, sets and attractions that feature characters and places from the video games. It would seem wrong for an attraction park that is inspired by a graphic video game to only exist in a mere three-dimensional realm. Therefore, the park will be integrating 4D technology and effects into at least one of its rides. Knowing what 4D means on rides at other amusement parks, it is likely to include splashes of sorts of unexpected liquids. While Star Wars Land is the newest [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starspeeder-3000) addition, this more violent version will attract a more niche crowd. Opening in 2016, the park will be ready at the same time that BioWare releases the next game. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **4D Technology in Theme Parks:** Integrating 4D technology and effects into theme park rides, creating immersive experiences with unexpected elements. - **Video Game Inspired Attractions:** Creating attraction parks based on popular video game franchises to attract a more niche crowd and capitalize on fan enthusiasm. - **Integration of Graphics and Sets:** Incorporating rides, sets, and attractions that feature characters and places from video games, blurring the line between virtual and physical environments. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Theme Parks and Amusement Parks:** Theme parks that integrate 4D technology and create immersive experiences based on popular video game franchises. - **Video Game Development:** Developing video games with attractions and rides in mind, allowing for cross-promotional opportunities with theme parks. - **Special Effects and Technology:** Companies specializing in 4D technology and effects for theme park rides, providing innovative solutions for creating immersive experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mixed-Reality Theme Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixedreality-theme-park.md) - [Spacefaring VR Adventure Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-beyond-victory.md) - [Challenge-Park Adventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beast-land-theme-park.md) - [High-Fidelity Space Voyages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interstellar-arc.md) - [Ride Attraction Play Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starspeeder-3000.md) - [Interactive Fantasy Universe Attractions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-immersive-quest.md) - [Expansive Toy-Inspired Amusement Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mattel-adventure-park.md) - [Immersive Multimedia Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-pictures-wonderverse.md) - [Realistic Theme Park Simulators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planet-coaster-2.md)
