“TRAIN TO BUSAN” HORROR HOUSE EXPERIENCES @ RESORTS WORLD GENTING!
The first of its kind, world hyper reality homage to the 2016 South
Korean blockbuster film “Train To Busan” has finally opened its doors to Horror
House Experience at Resorts
World Genting during its official launch on 30th
October 2019.
Developed collaboratively between Resorts World Genting and
virtual reality (VR) specialists Vividthree, the Horror House blends
practical effects, intricate sets, as well as cutting-edge visual and virtual
technology to fully immerse guests into a familiar world where the stakes are
high and terror is always just around the corner.
The spectacular launch of the multimillion-ringgit production horror
house was led by Roger Ong, Assistant
Vice President of Entertainment & Events from Resorts World Genting
together with Jzune Wong, Business
Development Manager from AirAsia and Jed Mok, Chief Executive Officer of
VividThree.
“I hope that everyone will
have a very good time,” says Roger Ong. “We have spared no expense in
recreating and replicating the world of the blockbuster film Train To
Busan. It is truly a unique set- up and
we hope our guests will love the experience. This Horror House is part of our
drive to continue innovating and consistently introducing new and unique
experiences found nowhere else in the world but at Resorts World Genting. The
Train to Busan railway office is now open. I have my ticket, and I hope you do
too. Please come aboard and let Resorts World Genting take you on a thrilling
ride.”
When asked about the inspiration behind the horror house experience
creation based on the zombie apocalypse movie, Jed Mok reckons, “We asked ourselves: what we would do if we
were one of those ordinary, everyday Koreans that somehow got caught up in a
zombie apocalypse? What would have happened if we made a different choice in
those scenarios, compared to what was done by the movie’s characters. It was
really fun to brainstorm over what could be done and how we could expand the
universe. But it was also a huge challenge, as working with a successful IP
like Train to Busan is a daunting task, not least because there are so many
fans around the world that love the movie. I believe we have done a great job
and come experience it yourself!”
Hence, audiences will be familiar with the storyline and easily connect
with the flow which has been described as a thrillingly unique and pure entertaining
take on the zombie genre with plenty of social commentary and skillfully staged
action.
The experience will consist of several areas, each
with its own set of interactive activities. Following the plot of the movie
where the father and daughter meet in Seoul for a trip to Busan:-
 |
The train departs and stops at all stations, including the
zombie-infected Seoul Station, the over-run Daejeon station platform and the
toxic Chemical Cargo Train en route to Busan.
STATION
1:
The first part of the Horror House is themed around
Seoul Station. Guests will find themselves trapped in an apocalyptic version of
the gigantic train station, fending off zombies and traps as they battle
through environments such as the Long Corridor, the Toilet, the Supermarket,
the Café and the Mirror Maze to reach
their goal: the train that will take them away from this hellish nightmare.
Unfortunately, the train is infected too.
STATION
2:
(Which we think is much scarier, hahaha….)
The second part of the Horror House takes place on
the actual Train To Busan. Just as the movie’s characters had to battle their
way to the front car of train in hopes of surviving the journey to Busan (where
a quarantine zone has been established), the Horror House tasks guests with a challenge-
to make it from Train Platform and Passenger Train Carriage, through the
Chemical Cargo Train and CDC Lab, to safety. The alternative will be falling as
one of the infected and returning to haunt those brave enough to continue their
adventure. Get to sanctuary, or fall trying.
2 additional experiences flesh out the world and
mythos of Train To Busan.
At the 2 Base
Camps, guests who have survived the ordeal of the train can take up arms
against the horde of zombies in various VR and other interactive activities.
These include strapping on body armour and wielding guns to defend the quarantine
areas from invading zombies, just like the finale of the movie, or fighting
against time to develop a cure from the ravaging virus.
If all this adrenaline-packed action sounds tiring
and sapping, then there is a payoff for everyone. A Seoul Retail Street that brings the best of Korean cuisine and
K-pop culture as a reward for all those that have survived the horror of the
Train To Busan.
All those elements, which made Train To
Busan a runaway cinematic success, have been carefully transitioned into a
unique, one-of-a-kind hyper reality feel for the Horror House experience.
Resorts World Genting is now unleashing
the railway line of horror for 2 months starting from 31st October
2019 that will offer a unique blend of horrific thrills and scary fun to fans
of both the movie and horror in general.
