Cedar Fair has already introduced a pair of interactive dark rides to two parks. Wonder Mountain's Guardian debuted in 2014 at Canada's Wonderland and Voyage to the Iron Reef is set to open at Knott’s Berry Farm next month.
President and CEO Matt Ouimet plans to eventually expand the Amusement Dark concept to all 11 park locations in the chain.
“I think ultimately you'll see them at every Cedar Fair park,” Ouimet told the LA Times.
Cedar Fair will never create $100-million dark rides like Disney and Universal, Ouimet said, settling instead for budgets at 10% to 15% of the industry leaders, with rides will that tell stories about the “world underneath our parks."
