Area 51 – Top Secret, Dark ride at Movie Park Germany in Bottrop, Germany
The indoor water attraction combines boat rides with special effects, featuring encounters with aliens and scientists throughout dark corridors.
Opening in 1996 as Bermuda Triangle, the attraction underwent renovation in 2019 to transform into an Area 51 military facility theme.
The ride connects to American conspiracy theories about Area 51, incorporating elements of extraterrestrial research and government facilities.
The ride accommodates 800 visitors per hour with boats arranged in four rows of three seats, using lap bar restraints for passenger safety.
Two major drops punctuate the experience, with dense steam effects and laser projections creating an extraterrestrial research laboratory environment.
