Background

Triotech Amusement Inc. is a Canadian multinational amusement company founded by Ernest Yale and Fredric and David Lachance on December 13, 1999[1][2][a] in Joliette and based in Montreal, Quebec.[4] It is best known for the Typhoon (2009) video-based motion ride simulator (featuring motion technology courtesy of D-BOX Technologies), as well as the XD Theater, a pop-up, theater-sized 3D mini-attraction known for the motion seats' incredibly accurate movement with the ride films presented on-screen.[5]

Trioteh's first product was the obscure Cyberpod 3000 (released circa 2000), which featured surround sound, a unique voice communication system, and the ability to change games on the fly, as well as support for multiplayer games, all of which were enclosed in a cockpit-style cabinet.[6] The Cypberpod 3000 would later receive an upgrade known as the Cyberpod 4000 sometime the following year.[7]

On May 17, 2001, during that year's E3 conference, Triotech was awarded the rights to come out with an arcade edition of GRIN's then-upcoming futuristic racing PC game Ballistics. Not long after the announcement, a special build of the game was made available early on the Cyberpod machines in July of the same year.[7] A final version of the cabinet (known for its unique laid-back seat, inspired by Yale's tendency to put his feet up his desk, believing that it was a comfortable way to play games)[3] was then showcased for the first time at that year's IAAPA expo in Orlando, FL on the 3rd week of November, with a small test run happening in December, and releasing it at large in January 2002, alongside a version for the Cyberpod 4000.[8] A subsequent update to Ballistics was introduced in early 2003, which introduced Triotech's unique, D-BOX-powered Mad Wave Motion technology, providing intense vibrations in sync with the in-game action.[9] It was further followed by another upgrade, known as Super Ballistics in September of the same year.[10]
