Mass Effect getting its own 4D theme park attraction

Mass Effect is getting its own 4D interactive theme park ride.

Opening in 2016 at California's Great America in Santa Clara, the ride will be curated by a live performer, who will take visitors on a journey to a distant planet.

Over the course of the journey, visitors will face off against "larger-than-life foes and fight to save the day".

"Using cutting-edge 3D technology and 4D effects, the ride throws passengers right into the action, creating a fantastical adventure that they won't soon forget."

Mass Effect isn't the only video game property to be given the theme park treatment.

Ubisoft is hoping to open a 10,000-square-metre indoor theme park in 2020 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, while Nintendo has teamed with Universal.
