Suspended Theater® - Falcon's Creative Group - Experience Design Services for Theme Parks

Suspended Theater® brings the unique sensation of flight to life in a whole new way.

This groundbreaking ride system has been used in nationally-recognized, award-winning attractions. Now you can harness its power. The experience begins in the loading area; low ceiling and fairly typical, the guests are given the impression of being in a standard theater. They take their seats and media begins on a small screen. Suspense builds, although the guests begin to become momentarily complacent.

Finally, guests experience the big reveal. The ceiling seems to be ripped away from above as they take off. Raised by a unique lifting system, the guests tilt into place, smoothly yet quickly lifting skyward into a large, incredible vista of spectacular, immersive storytelling.

Our sophisticated system utilizes three degrees of freedom, allowing Suspended Theater® visitors to glide through amazing landscapes smoothly and quietly. This technology is often imitated – with Falcon’s, you can have the real thing.

Suspended Theater® is unmatched in the world of flying theater systems. It exudes raw power and elegance as it takes riders soaring across inspiring adventures. Everywhere guests look they are immersed in media content, flying across fabulous landscapes and immersive dreamscapes. There are no distractions interrupting the storyline. Once lift-off occurs there is only pure, uninhibited flight.

The show begins in a lower, smaller-scale theater with rear projection. The content on this smaller-scale screen then seamlessly transitions to the large-scale enveloping media screen as the theater seats physically rise into the air, complimenting the reveal’s wow-factor with visceral movement and excitement. This signature theater reveal of the Suspended Theater® is exclusive to this Falcon’s product.

Employing pitch and heave offers total freedom to synchronize the ride system with the on-screen action.

The use of unique media production techniques enables guests to see 3D objects throughout their wide vista, ultimately allowing 3D objects to extend from the large-scale 3D stereoscopic media screen and appear to soar through the theater space.

The single push button auto-alignment procedure analyzes the position and focus of each projector relative to each other making small adjustments to ensure the media remains as crisp and clear as the first day of operation.

Taking the term “surround sound” to a whole new level, the CircuMotion® theater breaks up the audio system into circular rings with discrete channel speakers along the music and sound effects to float through the space alone side the 3D imagery.

Sensory special effects (SFX) are a feature to the attraction that dramatically enhance the immersion and impact of the media content. CircuMotion® allows for wind, vibration, scent, and water spritz effects to be included in the experience.
