6D Motion Theatres & Interactive Simulators

Motion seats, atmospheric effects, interactive game layers and the enclosure they sit in — planned, built and synchronised as one attraction for entertainment centres, museums, exhibitions and brand activations.

An attraction is film, motion, effects and a room — working as one

A 6D theatre layers physical motion, atmospheric effects and audience interaction on top of 3D or immersive visuals. When each part comes from a different supplier, the result is seats that move out of time with the film, mist that wets the screen and a room that leaks sound into the mall. We plan the visuals, the motion, the effects and the enclosure together so they are tested as a single system.

We work as an independent production and fabrication contractor. Motion platforms and seat systems are sourced from specialist manufacturers and integrated by our team; the structure, acoustic enclosure, joinery, AV, show control and on-site commissioning are handled under one production plan.

The same approach covers permanent installations in family entertainment centres, malls, museums and visitor centres, and temporary modular pods for exhibitions, seasonal festivals and brand roadshows.

What we build

6D motion theatres

3-DOF and 6-DOF motion seat clusters, seat transducers and synchronised motion platforms in a purpose-built auditorium.

Special & atmospheric effects

Wind, water mist, fog, scent, strobe and seat effects — leg ticklers, back pokers, air blasts — cued to the film.

Interactive game layers

Infrared blasters, live scoreboards, gesture tracking and seat controls that let visitors play, vote or compete.

Museum & visitor-centre fly-throughs

Curved LED, dome or projection simulators for heritage journeys, landscape fly-overs and educational stories.

Motorsport & flight simulator pods

Force-feedback driving and flight rigs with panoramic displays for fan zones, launches and roadshows.

Enclosures, MEP & safety

Acoustic black-box builds, floor-load planning, ventilation for fog, drainage for mist, emergency stops and egress.

Where we deliver simulator attractions

We deliver permanent and temporary simulator attractions in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Dhahran and Al Khobar, and across Bahrain including Manama — in malls, entertainment centres, museums, visitor centres, exhibition halls and festival sites.

Structure, joinery and enclosure panels are fabricated in our own workshops, and the system is dry-assembled and tested before it is shipped to site, so on-site time goes on calibration rather than discovery.

Modular pods are designed to be broken down and rebuilt, so one attraction can tour several exhibitions or cities in a season.

How a simulator attraction is delivered

  1. 1. Concept & throughput — Audience profile, seats per show, show length and hourly capacity, defined before anything is specified.
  2. 2. Engineering & specification — Motion system sizing, screen geometry, power, floor loads, ventilation and acoustic targets.
  3. 3. Content & show control — New CGI content or licensed ride films, with timecode cueing for motion, audio, lighting and effects.
  4. 4. Workshop pre-assembly — Enclosure, seating and effects dry-fitted and tested in the workshop before dispatch.
  5. 5. Install & compliance — On-site build, electrical load balancing, safety documentation and Civil Defence sign-off support.
  6. 6. Handover & support — Operator training, show documentation and technical standby or maintenance for permanent sites.

6D theatres & simulators — common questions

Do you build permanent or temporary attractions?

Both. We build permanent theatres for malls, entertainment centres and museums, and modular pods for exhibitions, festivals and roadshows that can be rebuilt in another city.

Do you manufacture the motion seats yourselves?

No. Motion platforms and seat systems come from specialist manufacturers; we specify, integrate and commission them together with the enclosure, AV, effects and show control.

Can you produce the film content?

Yes. We can produce bespoke CGI content for your story or brand, or integrate an existing licensed ride film where that suits the budget and timeline better.

What does the venue need to provide?

Usually a confirmed floor area and ceiling height, available power, floor-load rating and access for delivery. We confirm exact requirements at the site survey.

How is guest safety handled?

Systems include emergency stops, guest restraints where motion requires them, clear egress and the documentation venues and Civil Defence ask for. We plan these from the first drawing.

What do you need to quote?

The venue or event, whether it is permanent or temporary, the number of seats, the target opening date and any content idea. That is enough for a first costed concept.
