Dragons Wild Shooting Interactive Dark Ride Lotte World contracted THG to design, produce, and build an interactive dark ride that combines the excitement of a shooting gallery with the fantasy of a story-based dark ride. Smoldering ruins, a castle’s towers glowing with dancing firelight, dragons, and jesters are all part of the excitement. The setting of this one-of-a-kind dark ride includes practical targets, media-based targets, and highly themed sets and props. Dragons Wild Shooting was the first interactive ride utilizing media and practical targets. One of the most exciting aspects of the project was that Lotte World challenged THG to produce a completely original IP. THG gladly accepted that challenge (a rarity in the attractions business generally) and set to work designing a raft of whimsical dragon characters of all shapes and sizes. THG also produced all other aspects of the ride, including graphic design, themed architecture and sets, charming animated media, and an exciting musical score.

USA Pavilion Expo 2012 World Expo Pavilion In May 2012, THG completed the design, production, installation, and opening of the USA Pavilion at Expo 2012 in Yeosu, South Korea. The theme of the expo was “Our Living Oceans and Coastlines,” and THG worked with Philippe Cousteau and his non-profit Earth Echo International to craft the message and call to action. The Pavilion was designed to welcome and engage guests even before they walked through the door. Spread throughout the queue, guests found a series of QR tags they could scan with their smart phones, unlocking an interactive game to play while waiting. In addition to a giant water screen in the pre-show, a 70-foot-wide film screen in the main theater displayed impressive, inspiring visuals, from smaller image collages to vast panoramas. Based on research and collaboration with Earth Echo International, the theater showcased a visually and emotionally powerful exploration of America’s relationship to the ocean, the challenges we face, and the power of the human spirit to achieve great things. The USA Pavilion was awarded Honorable Mention by the Expo 2012 award committee. Client United States Department of State Location Yeosu, South Korea Industry Cultural More Projects
