29yrswithaGApass Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Source: La Ronde; SIX FLAGS INC La Ronde will welcome The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, live!, a new interactive experience, in 2009 only! Wednesday November 19, 2008, 5:45 am EST MONTREAL, Nov. 19 /CNW Telbec/ - Next summer, La Ronde will welcome a new live interactive experience that promises to attract a lot of attention! Inspired by the successful blockbuster film with the same name, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, live! is a one square kilometre walk-through in which visitors will encounter many characters in a novel and extraordinary atmosphere full of surprises, thrills and mystery. La Ronde will become the second theme park in the world to host this attraction. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, live! will be open to La Ronde visitors for a limited time-June 19 to September 7, 2009, only-before it heads for another theme park on its world tour. La Ronde recently reached an agreement to that effect with New York based Sudden Impact Entertainment Company (SIEC), a producer that works very closely with Universal Studios. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, live! was inaugurated a few weeks ago in Australia. It can accommodate between 500 and 700 people an hour. Sudden Impact!'s Chairman & CEO, Lynton V. Harris, who is described as the "Scare Master," created the experience. He has transformed the haunted house concept to produce spectacular interactive experiences and attractions, including The Mummy live! and The Mummy Returns live! have toured all over the world. In the film The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, the third instalment of the popular series, the action takes place in Asia. Brendan Fraser's character, Rick O'Connell, wins the battle with Emperor Han, this time with the help of Rick's son, Alex. An irony of fate is that the film was partially shot in Montréal. "The fact that La Ronde recently reached an agreement with SIEC and indirectly with Universal confirms that the park has become one of international calibre over the last few years," its president, Marc Tremblay, points out. "The groundbreaking interactive experience of The Mummy is a huge addition to the increasingly amazing and diverse range of entertainment we provide," he adds. Be sure you don't miss The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, live! by getting your 2009 season pass, already on sale at http://www.laronde.com/ at the reduced price of $83 (individual). Family season passport, for four and six people, are also available. They are always an excellent gift idea as the holiday season approaches. La Ronde, inaugurated during Expo 67, now features more than forty rides and attractions, including the Goliath and a colorful family section, Au Pays de Ribambelle. Each year, it welcomes more than 1.2 million visitors. Six Flags, Inc. is the world's largest regional theme park company with 20 parks across the United States, Mexico and Canada.
