A Ride Like No Other
Nights In White Satin: The Trip is a psychedelic, 3-D, black-light ride themed to The Moody Blues’ iconic 1967 song. The ride was developed by Sally in collaboration with Hard Rock Park.
Lighting changes the scene from darkness to a brilliant black-light vista. Scents, spinning psychedelic images, smoke rings swirling around your head; phantom figures that beckon you to reach out and touch them, plus a ‘speed room,’ where guests move in sync with a fast-forward film and into surreal imagery…these are just a few of the surprises in store in this one-of-a-kind custom ride.
“My favorite attraction was Nights in White Satin: The Trip….The Trip is both unique and daring among dark rides. It is not interactive and there are no gags jumping out at riders, but rather it is a mind-bending journey that weaves between reality and illusion.”
Paul Ruben
Park World Magazine
“Hard Rock Park and Sally Corporation have done a masterful job creating an immersive, dream-like soundscape that brings the song to life. With its eye-popping visuals and stunning effects, Nights in White Satin: The Trip is near Disney quality…and quite trippy.”
