Description:
At SIGGRAPH 95, Iwerks Entertainment presents its latest Reactor attraction: Dino Island. In a simulated all-terrain vehicle, the audience explores a newly-discovered volcanic island and encounters many thrilling and frightening incidents, accidents, and face-to- face encounters. The goal of the adventure is to rescue the local dinosaur population by capping the volcano’s mouth.
Iwerks Reactor, an 1 8-seat portable simulation theatre, creates a “you-are-there” sensation by allowing the audience to move in synch with high-definition, 9-foot by 16-foot images. It is one of several portable versions of Iwerks Entertainment’s ride simulation and 360-degree theatre attractions. The company’s Touring Technologies Division deploys these attractions at major events throughout the world.
