Kennedy Space Center Advances into the Future Utilizing Immersive and Sensory Effects to Educate the Masses on Space Exploration with MediaMation's MX4D Motion EFX Flying Theatres. |

Kennedy Space Center has unfolded a new cosmic adventure for everyone to enjoy. Under the auspices of Delaware North, MediaMation was asked to provide advanced immersive solutions for Kennedy Space Center's new Gateway Attraction by building four MX4D Motion EFX Flying Theaters. These theaters provide a more immersive experience for multi-level processes of space. Each theater features a 180 degree dome projector screen and four different films depicting various aspects of space travel. Presentation is everything, and this attraction excels in this aspect. As people enter the loading bay, roll-up doors will shield the audience from the dome projections until it is time for the ultimate reveal. Built-in MX4D special effects enhances the 4D experience for each individual rider using wind, scent, audio transducers, seat and back pokers. Each theater is equipped with 20 motion effects seats that actually move you into the screen as the bottom drops giving you the sensation of flying as you soar into the unknowns of the universe. While your feet are dangling, you can feel wind, motion and bumps as you glide deep into the nebulas of some uncharted areas of space.
Dan Jamele, CEO of MediaMation states, “We’re very excited about these four MX4D flying theaters at the Kennedy Space Center. We’ve been working with all the partners to keep this moving along during the entire pandemic, and we have overcome many challenges. Each of these four individual experiences are world-class attractions that will continue to thrill audiences from all over for years to come and to help educate people about space exploration, NASA, and the direction that the entire Kennedy Space Center is looking towards for the future. We can’t express how excited we are to have seen this wonderful attraction come to fruition and what it means for Kennedy Space Center, MediaMation, and our current and future clientele. We want to establish the MX4D Flying Theater as a destination attraction.”
