Huis Ten Bosch Opens Flying Theater “Air Cruise The Ride”
(eap) The Japanese theme park Huis Ten Bosch in Sasebo (Nagasaki Prefecture) has launched a new attraction, “Air Cruise The Ride”. The installation is a flying theater equipped with an 8K LED dome screen supplied by Brogent Technologies. The attraction takes guests on a journey through 17 African countries. Thanks to the 180-degree dome screen, for which Brogent is using LED technology for the first time directly in the ride experience, visitors are meant to feel as if they are soaring above vast savannas, impressive waterfalls, and massive herds of animals.

“Air Cruise The Ride was an incredible experience, unlike anything Huis Ten Bosch has ever offered before,” emphasized Yuta Jitozono, Communication Strategy Manager at Huis Ten Bosch. “The combination of the 8K high-resolution LED screen and the ride’s motion created an immersion that was truly extraordinary. This attraction adds a completely new dimension to the park, blending our European-style charm and seasonal events with dynamic thrills, ensuring guests enjoy a more memorable and exciting theme park experience.”
“We are honored to collaborate with Huis Ten Bosch to bring Air Cruise The Ride to life, Brogent’s first flying theater powered by an 8K LED dome screen,” said Stefan Rothaug, Director of Sales & Marketing at Brogent Technologies. “This milestone marks a leap in visual quality and immersion and opens new creative freedom in content design. With this breakthrough, we are setting a new benchmark for immersive entertainment worldwide.”
Another flying theater by Brogent was recently inaugurated at the Table Rock Welcome Centre in the Canadian city of Niagara Falls. Read all about “Niagara Takes Flight” in EAP’s next Nov/Dec magazine issue. ■
