Looks like a 3D dark ride. As for the manufacturer, I would assume it’s Alterface.

When a ride built 12 years ago is considered old.

Looks more like a Reese's Extreme Cup Challenge retheme.

I know, the park confirmed this on instagram. However they have not released any specs on this ride beyond it being a "unique and interactive dark ride experience".

Looks quirky, but I'd imagine I'd have fun on it.

Apparently the manufacturer is Sally. Makes sense since IIRC, Cup Challenge is a Sally dark ride.

Good to see Reese's Xtreme get some TLC, the ride barely worked last time I was at the park

Another bump! Reese’s Cupfusion opened this weekend. Here’s a POV, linked below;
While it may not be on the top-tier level of Disney, Universal or the big European parks’ dark rides, I think this is a much-needed new experience to increase park attendance before Hershey’s Chocolatetown opens in summer of 2020. I’d genuinely love for the Cedar Fair Boo Blasters to undergo a similar treatment; I think it would be a very popular and marketable “new dark ride” for a low initial cost, as the parks would just be reusing as well as redecorating and/or repainting the preexisting hardware. I hope that this wave of “aging dark ride refreshments” continues into the next decade, because the current results (Pirates of the Deep Sea, Meow Wolf Kaleidoscape, and this) have produced surprisingly high quality for regional park standards.
