What it had to solve
Cacau Park, the chocolate theme park taking shape in Itu, interior de São Paulo, as part of a R$2 billion complex, needed a signature attraction for its Aventura Mauka themed world.
How it works
Brogent, the international flight-simulator specialist, is building a theater around a wide concave screen with dynamic motion platforms operating in millimetric sync with the projections, giving a physical sensation of overflight across the origins and transformation of cacao into chocolate. An automated system releases seven distinct aromatic essences in real time as the scenes develop; the attraction takes sixty visitors per session across three boarding levels.
What it did
The scent system is billed as a first for its format in Latin America; the park opens in December 2027, so no visitor results exist yet.
Background
Cacau Park, the chocolate-themed park under construction in Itu, São Paulo, announced 'Voo de Tikal' in October 2026 as the signature attraction of its Aventura Mauka world: a flying theater developed by Brogent, the international specialist in next-generation flight simulators, combining high-definition computer graphics, dynamic motion platforms and sensory innovation.
The ride simulates soaring over the origins of cacao and its transformation into chocolate. A wide concave screen and motion platforms run in millimetric sync with the visuals so visitors' bodies follow every curve and descent. The claimed differentiator is olfactory: an automated system releases seven distinct aromatic essences in real time as scenes change on screen — described as a first for this format in Latin America, adding smell to the visual and kinetic stimuli.
The attraction holds sixty visitors per session, split across three boarding levels, with opening forecast for December 2027 as part of a R$2 billion investment in the wider complex — a bet that multigenerational themed entertainment, engineered through hardware, software and scent, anchors the park's draw.
Why it lands
Olfaction is the differentiator: every flying theater has motion and domes; the seven-essence real-time system is the claimed first.
The theme is the brand's own story — the film traces cacao from origin to chocolate, so the ride literally embodies what the park sells.
Capacity engineering — sixty per session across three boarding levels — shows throughput thinking beneath the spectacle.
What you can take
Immersion completes through the neglected sense: scent released in sync with the screen turns a motion spectacle into a memory the body keeps.
Since then
Announced October 2026; 'Voo de Tikal' is forecast to open in December 2027 within the R$2 billion Cacau Park complex in Itu, São Paulo.
