Qetaifan Projects, a company owned by Katara Hospitality, has announced that it has awarded the design and build contract for the edutainment immersive water ride in Qetaifan Island North to British company Sarner International.Sources: https://sarner.com/news/a-new-immersive-edutainment-ride-for-a-world-class-waterpark-in-qatar and https://thepeninsulaqatar.com/article/18/08/2020/Contract-awarded-for-Edutainment-Ride-at-Qetaifan-Island-North and https://gulf-times.com/story/670883/Qetaifan-Island-North-offering-a-new-Edutainment-experience-in-its-WaterparkThe Edutainment Ride is inspired by the history of oil discovery in Qatar; it is to explain the process of how oil is formed, located, drilled, extracted, transported, separated and then used in today’s world. The ride follows a track through a set of scenes. With the addition of special effects such as 3D mapping, animatronics, projection, special lighting, heat, vibration, lightning, drilling machines and fog screens.
The story is enhanced and enriched into an exciting and immersive ride with thrills and exhilaration throughout its length. The ride will be designed in cooperation with Qatar Museums in order to ensure the quality of the content and its historical validity and to come out with the best realistic image stemming from the Qatari perspective and culture for oil exploration and extraction.
Guests enter the Edutainment Ride through an introductory exhibition which explains some of the background events that happened when oil was first suspected in the region. The attraction is housed in two buildings and one ride tower, and a cave houses the log flume ride with entrance and exit exhibition areas to display the story, as well as disembarkation and embarkation of the ride.
From the platform, the guests are taken on to one of three boats of the ride and enter the Edutainment Cave; each boat can take a maximum of 16 guests. After exiting the cave, the guests enjoy the outside section of the ride until they reach the Edutainment Tower; where the boat will be elevated to another level so they can enjoy the second half of multimedia presentations.
