Simworx 4D Effects Theatre Replacing Cats

[Chapperz]

Curse of Skull Rock 4D - (9/18/08) SimWorx has announced that Drayton Manor will add a new 152-seat 4D Effects Theater for the 2009 season. The new 4D Theater will take over an existing building and stuff in a ton of special effects hardware that will include: water spray, air blast, leg ticklers, aroma, low smoke and bubble effects. The park will play the Curse of Skull Rock film, winner of the Best Children’s Animated Film award.

I think this will go into the building where cats is now. Its only 9 years year the building next year and could easily fit 15o odd seats in there.

Sounds interesting - I hope they do a good job as if they don't they'll end up with something mediocre that nobody will want to ride more than once.

Looks good, hope the chavs dont spoil it with the stupid laughs and the talks thro it..

[Chapperz]

Im with an investment like this then Drayton Manor will have people in the screen watching for people misbehaving/using phones etc and will most probably eject them from the park if they misbehave.

The Film itself looks amazing and the cinema with all the effects is an experiance i am really looking forward to seeing again after riding honey i shrunk the audience in Disney land paris.

Now just to work out what building and what part of the park this ride shall be going in.

I said Pirate Adventure would be next lol
But i think security on the ride would be quite heavy cuz now a days people cant go on rides without them bring ruined by idiots who mess aorund on them...
Oh well the pirates will jump out the screen and get the lil chavs if they do mess about

[Chapperz]

I dont actually think its going to replace Pirate adventure as thats meant to be getting an overhall this year.

[Themeparksandy1981]

I do think it will be the theatre where the cats is now and the circus was. Pirate adverture if they used it would fit alot more than 152 seats. They would start working on it on the 3rd November and cause the building inside and already built the winter weather wont stop them getting it ready for the start of the 2009 season. I just hope they maintain it to the max as it wont feel the same half way thought the season if half the effects aint working on it.

4D cinema isn't replacing Pirate Adventure! The cinema will be in the theatre where the cats are currently in, I hope it's as good as it looks cause it will make a nice change for an ENGLISH company to be able to compete in an area where attractions have to normally be purchased from abroad! Well done to drayton for Keeping it British!
