Mass Effect-Themed Attraction Coming to Amusement Park in California

Electronic Arts and California’s Great America are coming together to create a Mass Effect-themed “first-of-its-kind guest experience” that will open next year at the theme park.

An official description (via a press release) of the attraction can be found below:

Riders will climb aboard motion-based seating and wear 3D glasses as they are taken on a thrilling adventure.  A live performer will curate the journey and appear to interact seamlessly with the next generation 3D visuals.  These elements will be integrated with motion seating, high tech sound and other 4D effects to create a truly compelling and immersive attraction.  Guests will travel through space to a distant planet, face off against bigger than life adversaries and ultimately help save the day. 

In other Mass Effect news, Mass Effect: Andromeda was officially announced at E3 2015 in June, though the character in the announcement trailer was not the protagonist the player will be piloting next year. Lead writer of Mass Effect 1 & 2 Drew Karpyshyn recently returned to BioWare after taking some time off to finish a trilogy of novels. However, he will not be working on Mass Effect: Andromeda, but Star Wars: The Old Republic, instead.
