Description

The 4D film included multiple track discrete sound system, bodysonic seats and a series of scents released in sync with the film. The story told a series of American pastimes around the turn of the twentieth century and was narrated by the inventor Phineas Flagg - an imaginary turn-of-the-century explorer/scientist/raconteur (modeled after Phileas Fogg, Jules Verne's literary world traveler character in the novel Around The World in Eighty Days). The film used the ArriVision over/under 3D film system. The film was only shown at Six Flags Power Plant theme park.[2]
