By Betty Woolerton  Thursday Nov 9, 2023

The team behind Wake The Tiger have told visitors to expect “a complete dazzling wonder of the senses” as they announced plans to expand the immersive attraction.

Dubbed the “world’s first” amazement park, the “mind-bending” expansion will arrive in early 2024 with the create team experimenting with “cutting-edge” technology to further develop its alternate world called ‘Meridia’.

Wake The Tiger, which has been created by the team behind music festival Boomtown Fair, hinted that visitors might see clues starting to “seep through the walls” at the art walk-through experience on Albert Road in St Philip’s.

“Expect the most mind-blowing immersive art production imaginable, all laid out within a maze of exploration; a complete dazzling wonder of the senses – spanning creativity, discovery and playful magic, and still an adventure for all ages,” said co-founder and creative director Luke Mitchell.

In an designer call-out on the website, the team said the phase two will “truly see you ‘transcend’ from The Dream Factory in the world of Meridia to another level, leaving your physical being and entering a higher, spiritual state.

“You will explore inspiring new spaces that allow you to contemplate, explore and unlock an alternate state of mind. To fix this beautifully fragile world we live in we need to think differently and this is just the start.

More than 250,000 people have stepped through the portal at Wake The Tiger and its 30 “creative environments” since its inception in summer 2022.

It was created to “highlight the issues, provoke ideas and suggest alternative paths that give hope for our future” through art and story-telling.
