IMAGINATOR is now open on the Gold Coast – with exclusive new experiences!

 

Calling GOLD COAST mind-adventurers, light chasers, imagination lovers, futurists and cool seekers – YOUR PLAYGROUND AWAITS because IMAGINATOR is now open in Surfers Paradise!

 

What’s even cooler, is that FIVE of the 15 IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES are absolutely EXCLUSIVE TO THE GOLD COAST, including Imaginator’s first immersive game called Astral Runner

 

Yep, the Gold Coast has the best IMAGINATOR!

Here’s the five experiences you can ONLY have on the Gold Coast:

 

• Parachute Cinema: Take in a selection of world’s best new media artists in IMAGINATOR’s parachute cinema! 
• Shape Room: Enter a soft sci-fi wellness experience, where guests are guided through an exploration into colour therapy and sound. Zen is your friend!
• Smoke Scape: Be consumed by sound, smoke and scent in the smoke scape installation. IT’S AN ALL SENSES OVERLOAD!
• Digital Maze: Find your way through a Tron-inspired digital maze. Which way? 

• Astral Runner: The team at IMAGINATOR have designed their first immersive game, where the Astral runner must make their way through as many portals as possible. May the odds be ever in your favour!

 

And here’s five IMAGINATOR experiences that have been made even BETTER, just for the Gold Coast:

•    ATOM A.I - Well before Chat GPT was ATOM, the most advanced A.I on the planet. Visitors of IMAGINATOR have been enthralled by conversations with Atom, spellbound by its humor, intellect and vision. 

• Wishing Well - Whisper your wish into the well and watch it materialise in front of you. 
• Air Jump - Come test your mettle and take the plunge off a 4 meter ledge on the 'Air Jump' installation co-designed by @loose_collective and a New Zealand stuntman. 
• Air bubble: Enter a giant inflatable bubble and take in a projection and poem created by computers 
• Chroma Room: A long-time favourite for content creators and creatives, the chroma room reverberates rich digital content through a mirrored chamber 

 

Creative Director Nick Ennis said the IMAGINATOR experience was like being in a kaleidoscope of light, sound and wonder, with the experiences a result of work by architects, authors, audio-visual artists, futurists, renderers and sound designers.

 

“Prepare to embark on a journey into the extraordinary at IMAGINATOR, a ground-breaking fusion of audio-visual art, lighting installations, futuristic gaming, and inflatable architecture. This innovative creation is redefining the boundaries of immersive entertainment, offering a one-of-a-kind experience that seamlessly blends technology and imagination,” he said. “IMAGINATOR builds a constant sense of anticipation. Each room is slowly revealed as you move through the space and a different atmosphere and mood is presented.  You can play, explore, relax or engage at your own pace. There are chairs and lounges throughout the experience to encourage lingering when the moment feels right,” he said.

 

“We love seeing Gold Coasters FINALLY step inside, slip off their shoes and engage with AI projections, sensor-triggered LED waves, giant silk parachute canopies, interactive mazes, a digital smoke scape and electronic wishing well that whispers your greatest desires. Explore the multi-sensory and interactive play space at your leisure with the experience taking anywhere from a 20-minute walkthrough to an hour-long immersion. IMAGINATOR is a celebration of imagination, technology and immersive play and it’s something the whole family can do together, or … it’s the coolest date experience around!”
