Odyssey Malta, formerly known as 'Mercury Towers Flying Theatre', seamlessly integrates immersive storytelling and information scene setting shows with a historical flying theatre ride, allowing guests to explore the islands from above. It offers an innovative combination of entertainment and education, with an immersive dark walk experience, an interactive exhibition, and the first flying theatre ride in Malta.

The attraction was produced in a partnership between Talesmith, Simtec Systems, Sarner and Moonraker VFX.

The custom-built flying theatre provides special onboard effects thanks to its six-degrees-of-freedom motion platform to take visitors on a magical flight around the islands and is suitable for the entire family.

Talesmith were commissioned to provide the live action media for the flying ride, filming cinematic visuals over the seasons on a purpose-bullt state of the art FPV drone, and from a specially constructed helicopter nose mount. Working once again with Moonraker VFX, this live action footage was seamlessly blended with photo real computer-generated imagery to tell a gripping story of Malta's rich association with the past as guests negotiate historical battles, mythical beasts and stunning underwater seascapes.

The project has created a unique and innovative approach to flying theatre and is both educational and exciting, setting a new standard for the heritage attractions sector.
