"Elephants 4D showcases the breathtaking beauty of the world's oldest desert through impeccable cinematography," says Mark Merrall, director of creative services.
"By earning the trust of a wild elephant herd, the producers captured remarkable close-ups that offer a rare perspective on these incredible animals. Combined with sweeping sceneries and carefully matched in-theater effects, the result is a truly immersive experience for guests."
Last year, SimEx-Iwerks expanded its family entertainment portfolio with the launch of a new nature-based product line that aims to bring families closer to nature through elevated outdoor experiences.
It also partnered with the Ultra-Accessible theme park Morgan’s Wonderland to develop the Ultra-Accessible 4D Magic Cinema, which features a first-of-its-kind wheelchair-motion platform.
