You’re hurtling down the most terrifying roller coaster in the world! And even though you’re hyperventilating and your heart is pumping like mad, the truth is you’re sitting in a space the size of a shoe store. You’ve just experienced the most thrilling simulation attraction available. And it can fit just about anywhere.

Showscan created the first high quality simulation film, “Tour of the Universe” in 1986. Over the years, others have tried to reproduce the dazzling sensory experience that our Motion Simulation Theatres create…but to no avail. Because no other film or video technology can duplicate the incredible depth, clarity and realism of the Showscan film process.

Along with superior image quality, our Motion Simulation Theatres also offer the most exhilarating action. With their synchronized, motion-actuated seating, you’ll experience every hair-raising turn, bump, drop and twist as if you were really there.

Showscan’s fantastic sensory effects cater to your ears as well. Our full spectrum surround sound system captures a broader range of sound than conventional systems. The result is a heightened sense of reality that makes the thrills even more intense.

With Showscan, excitement comes in many different shapes and sizes, because our theatres are the most flexible in the industry. Size and capacity for our Simulation Theatres vary from 2 seats all the way up to 144 seat venues, or more.

Our High Definition Theatres offer HD video projection instead of film. And because the Showscan process is directly transferred to HD video, the image projected is the sharpest and most realistic in the video industry as well.

Each theatre requires only a 12 foot (3.65 meter) ceiling and is small enough to fit into the space of an average shoe store. This is why it’s the perfect attraction for today’s malls, shopping centers and retail districts.

Of course, the biggest thrill of all is yours when you see the profits a Motion Simulation Theatre can generate. Theatres around the world report record box office receipts, long queues and riders who come back again and again.

Our Showscan Specialty Theatres add an exciting new dimension to museums, theme parks and expositions, as well as world’s fairs, tourist destination sites and theatrical exhibition venues. And all without the expense of major construction. The entire front wall of each theatre is filled with a giant screen that’s in perfect perspective to our 70mm film image.

Each of our Specialty Theatres is designed to fit into a wide array of space plans. But what really makes our Specialty Theatres unique is a format flexibility that no other projection system or theatre can offer. Our projectors can readily be converted from 60fps to 24fps as well as 30fps. So you can exhibit conventional 35mm or 70mm films in the same theatre with the same Showscan projector.

With both our Motion Simulation Theatre and our Specialty Theatre, your eyes say it’s real. Your heart says it’s exciting. And your ticket says…it’s Showscan.
