Abstract: This paper explores how emerging digital media technology is influencing the themed entertainment industry, specifically using “FlyOver Canada,” a newly opened (June 2013) attraction in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, as the focus. This attraction is a “flying ride” 180° dome experience employing 4K 60 frames/sec digital capture and playback with specially designed and manufactured spherical projection lens as well as a unique 14:1 audio system. The inspiration for this new attraction was Disney's “Soarin' Over California,” which only 13 years ago was at the edge of display technology having employed 48 frames/sec IMAX film for both capture and playback. The paper provides unique insight into how times (and media formats/technology) are quickly changing and influencing the global themed entertainment world.
