Christie GS Series projectors power Ghostly Manor attraction at Paultons Park

Christie 1DLP laser projectors are delivering immersive visuals at Ghostly Manor, a new dark ride at Paultons Park in Hampshire, UK. Designed and installed by Lagotronics Projects, the £3.5 million attraction combines physical sets, projection mapping, and interactive gameplay to create a thrilling ghost-themed adventure. Six Christie DWU1100-GS and two DWU1400-GS laser projectors bring the haunted scenes to life.

Ghostly Manor uses a new ride format, Gameplay Theater, created by Mack Rides and Lagotronics Projects. Continuously rotating vehicles, each seating eight passengers back-to-back, reveal new environments with each turn. Guests are equipped with Phantom Phasers, onboard interactive “blasters” that allow them to capture ghosts across eight unique scenes. The format allows for high guest throughput in a small circular footprint to maximise efficiency and reduce queuing, and the ride concludes with a score scene displaying guest performance and photos.

With the vehicles located close to the screen, the team had to install projectors from a high angle to avoid casting shadows from the players, while avoiding warping and blending artifacts. Christie provided technical support, and 0.37-0.4:1 ultra short throw lenses were used with each projector to achieve the desired result, projecting onto surfaces approximately 10 m wide by 3.5 m high (32 ft by 11.5 ft). The ride was built on the site of a former 4D theatre.
