Marc Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 New for 2014 the Angry Birds 4d experience!The show is actually very good - the seats and the use of multiple special effects has been done very well, seems to be getting a good reaction on park which is good to! c1hrisin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1hrisin Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Is it still only one movie? I'd have thought with angry birds they could mass produce these movies and have at least 3 on rotation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Yeah its one movie - although its very well and professionally done - it looks good and people seemed to love it! Just wanted to say the effects and how they are used in here are very well done - especially the movement of the seats tilting back and then jolting forwards in time with the birds being catapulted - didn't expect that but it was really effective!

Marc Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 The effects used are... Smoke / strobes when the bomb bird explodes, the seats also jolt too The seats tilt back in time with the catapults being pulled back then fling you forwards as the bird flings off Water effects as they were Lighting effects are used throughout to light up the building different colors Thats all I can remember for now. pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some more effects... There is also air blowing in your face, just as the bird has been catapulted and you are flying in the air, and of course, it wouldn't be a 4D cinema without leg ticklers would it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Sounds really good! Looking forward to seeing it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 The que time board stated 'Show time in 5 minutes' all day on Sunday. Seeing as there is a show every 20 minutes it would be great to see it count down every 5 minutes of how long until the next show begins. Has it stated anything other than 5 minutes on other days?

Weeksy Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Have they replaced all the seating and systems then? Sure they never tilted before. I'd assumed they'd just reprogrammed the original ride system with a new film! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assumed they'd just reprogrammed the original ride system with a new film! Yep everything in there has been replaced! All the affects are new in the building too, before they only had water from the ceiling the rest was in the seats, now theres a bunch of other effects around the building too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenC Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I enjoyed this much more than I thought I was going to. The new theatre looks like a quality investment, and Simworx have done a particularly great job on the plush seating - a world away from Towers' Ice Age 4D wooden boxes. The film itself is also a lot of fun, and I love that the range of Angry Birds games (Space, Bad Piggies, Go!, etc.) were weaved into the story. With no dialogue, too, it looks to be a very easy "port" to any other international Park. Theming is on the sparse side, and there are definitely one or two overused effects (many people came out looking a little soggy). Overall though this is a solid attraction, and was certainly well received by audiences when I visited. Full review and photos over at Total Thorpe Park!

adam_sparks1 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I was also really surprised at how good it actually was! I went Saturday and it was a full arena and they got people sat down and started the movie pretty quick. I really enjoyed all the effects in the actually cinema and you actually get soaked.

OldFarmerDean Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 It is the best one I've experienced in the UK... A few little things that bothered me was there was opportunity for fire like in Lego land cinema which would have been good instead of smoke, the sound was a little too quiet in my opinion, and when the seats jolt back it actually hurt my stomach for some reason which the jolt then happened a bit too much!

They do over use the same feature a bit too much I also believe but overall I agree... really good experience... going uuniversal in a few month so I can compare OldFarmerDean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Okay, I was really looking forward to this and it didn't disappoint. I really enjoy all the effects used; worked really well with the film and certainly felt like a complete experience. It was quite immersive at times at well; I bet younger children will really think they're apart of the film, which is really good too. Quick spoiler with my only complaint: The tilting of the seats is good and I like it. But it feels too juddery having it every time when a bird collides with something. It'd be great if the chairs rumbled as opposed to rocked, as it would give the desired effect without making the experience uncomfortable or repetitive. But yeah, all in all, very good; certainly my favourite 4D cinema! Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
