Virtual Facts:

This all-new "Terminator 2: 3D" adventure is, frame for frame, the most expensive live action film ever produced, marking the first time that interlocking three-dimensional images have been projected onto three massive 23'x50' screens-the world's largest 3-D installation, spanning 165 feet-and completely enveloping guests in 180 degree of awe-inspiring excitement. Dr. Ken Jones, on sabbatical from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratories in Pasadena, CA, served as a consultant on this ground-breaking effort.

Utilizing the most sophisticated digital system: imaging technology ever created, "Terminator 2: 3D" requires six fully automated 70mm Iwerks projectors to launch the 3-D images onto the three massive 23'x50' screens. The world's largest 3-D installation, spanning 165 feet, the "Terminator 2: 3D" screen will engulf guests in 180 degrees of awe-inspiring excitement.

ABOUT THE AUDIO
"Terminator 2: 3D" features a state-of-the- system: art sound system created by Soundelux that pumps a total of 45,620 watts through 159 speakers. The result-one of the most technically advanced sound systems in the world. All processing equipment-from mixers to crossovers-for the attraction's audio set-up will be housed within one computer system. Using cutting edge computer software, all audio system connections and configurations will be made on screen, producing a singular sound sensation unique only to "Terminator 2: 3D."

This highly innovative method allows audio engineers to modify and construct new sound configurations by simply rendering them on a computer screen rather than laboriously re-wiring the more than 100 miles of interwoven cable.
