Crazy Wheels |
1979 |
14:30 |
You're in the middle of a pack of
Crazy Speed Kings as they race for a million dollar prize. Try to
keep from crashing as you race at blinding speeds in every kind of
vehicle. Funny Cars, Jaguars, antique cars, "boss" trucks,
motorcycles, and the latest Excaliber Roadster.
You'll speed past Howard Hughes' "Spruce Goose", the world's largest
airplane. Hang from a jet helicopter as it soars over ocean cliffs,
mountains and cities.
"Crazy Wheels" is high speed antics, crashes and head-ons plus a
hurtling roller coaster, a bone numbing Alpine Slide and a raging
water chute.

Flight 747 |
19 |
13:30 |
Your body vibrates from sounds of
tremendous power. Unexpectedly, the length and breadth of a massive
fuselage fills your view. Huge wheels swing down. Suddenly you're
piloting a Boeing 747 to a wheels smoking touch down. Your heart
quickens with each grinding click as you slowly ascend the coaster's
steep incline until you're let go to fall free down hills of
twisting steel. Zoom in on romantic Rio de Janeiro, Copacabana Beach
and the majestic 1230 foot high Christ Statue. Travel to Iguacu
Falls, higher than Niagara and wider than Victoria. Panic on a
runaway train as the brakes screech to a life-saving halt. Marvel at
miles of gorgeous skyhigh views in North Cascade National Park.
Ride a giant coaster through the longest double loop in the world.
Put your helmet on for a dirt-spinning dune-buggy race. Circle the
volcanic rim of Mount St. Helens and dive headlong into the still
smoldering crater. Somebody's putting "the pedal to the metal" and
Smokey is in hot pursuit.
|
Wild Wild West |
19 |
12:00 |
Over ten minutes of dynamic chase
scenes on dune buggies in a desert, in a Trans-Am pursued by the
California Highway Patrol, in helicopters, airplanes, speedboats,
hobie cats, and more. A super series of colossal scenery and fun
experiences, filmed in Las Vegas, Arizona, and California. Ride a
corkscrew steel roller coaster and the outrageous shuttle loop
coaster appropriately named "Montezuma's Revenge". See and hear Las
Vegas at night, experience sensational snow skiing and spectacular
panoramic aerial cinematography.
|
Horizons |
1982 |
11:00 |
Feel what it is like to race down the
hills and through the turns of one of the truly great old wooden
roller coasters. Twist down a narrow mountain road in a high powered
sports car just before it plunges off a mile high cliff. Swim into
the depths of Hawaii's clear blue water and encounter face to face a
huge man-eating Tiger Shark. Leap off a mountain and soar in a hang
glider. Take a wild jetcopter flight past scenic splendor and plunge
into an erupting volcano with tons of molten lava all around you.

International
Thrill Show |
19 |
11.30 |
The slow, agonizing ascent to the top
of the "Giant Dipper" roller coaster, the momentary pause and socko!
You hurtle into a sweaty palm, fear-thrill plunge of blurring speed
and color. Delight to the midway kaleidoscope of dazzling lights,
the "Sky Wheel" and the tight quick serpentine turns of the jumbo
"Jet Coaster". Thundering hoofs and clattering wheels - hang on to
your Stetson because you're in the Calgary Stampede Chuck Wagon
Race. A sudden lurch - you fear the worst as the brakes give out on
a San Francisco cable car. Helplessly you gain momentum down the
steep stair step hill until, at last, a nerve shattering stop. Your
boat winds through the exotic color and floral variety of beautiful
Cypress Gardens. Skim over the tall grass in an Everglades air boat.
Strain the engine on an aerobatic Pitt Special as you climb toward
the sun. Then plummet to earth, defying gravity in a loop-to-loop
that brings your belly to your chin. Marvel at the misty, cascading
beauty of Niagara Falls. Fly through the glistening St. Louis Arch.
Glide over the rim of Grand Canyon and wind along the Colorado
River. Follow a Cadillac to an eye-popping standstill.
|
Blockbuster |
19 |
12:00 |
An awesome ten story plunge, four
loops and the hair-raising Kamakazi curve will thrill you on the
"Orient Express" roller coaster. Churn through thundering rapids
aboard free floating rafts. Plummet down a steep mountain to a
hair-raising stop on an incline train. Lurch and sway before a
runaway baby carriage comes to a teetering stop. Circle the 605 foot
high Seattle Space Needle. Take a body jarring Olympic bobsled run
at Lake Placid. Single-winged crop dusters defy gravity in skilled
aerobatic maneuvers. Atlanta's city streets are alive with action as
motorcycle police pursue a speeder.

11:00 |
Hang on to your lap bar as the
"Monster" lifts and spins. Conquer the "Python" roller coaster -
1,200 feet of tortuous steel. Weave down San Francisco's famous
Lombard Street. Be mesmerized by the night time dazzle of Las Vegas.
Take a reckless wheel gripping dune buggy ride. Gaze at the photo
dramatic sweep of the majestic Grand Canyon and its unyielding
sculptor, the Colorado River. Spiral down Peachtree Plaza, the
worlds tallest hotel, towering 723 feet above Atlanta. Your "Olds"
is running fine until you have to make a hair-raising stop.
|
Demon Shock |
19 |
14:30 |
"Demon Shock", although a departure
from anything else in the Cinema 180 library, is a terrorific, spine
tingling horror fantasy with extraordinary scares, stunts, special
effects and nightmarish creatures. Blackness, eerie groaning and
shuffling footsteps alert you to danger. A flickering candle casts a
glow on the face of a young woman. She is searching for a
gravestone. One stone, covered with bizarre gargoyle carvings,
shakes and topples as a grotesque hand extends from the grave.
The girl screams and runs as more and more of the creature un-earths
itself. A mad Ghoul, half-dead, half-alive, unlocks his dreaded
power of "psycho-physical separation". His arm detaches from his
body and shoots through the misting midnight air to grasp the
victim's throat.
It doesn't stop there! Hang on! With siren screaming, a police car
pursues the Ghoul's strange weapon laden hearse. The escaping Ghoul
activates the "Terror Coaster" with his ominous laser eye. Follow an
unsuspecting couple into the "House of Demons". Be shocked by the
mad Ghoul's sudden appearance. Cheer the hero who destroys the
terrible Ghoul and his gruesome morgue factory.
Disclaimer: "Demon Shock" has realistic frightening scenes and is
not recommended for small children.

Take an excursion to the threshold of
fear on the "Thunder Bolt" roller coaster. Whirl through the "Mind
Bender" roller coaster with an 80 foot dive, triple loop and two
vertical somersaults. Finesse your way through flying Dutch rolls
and "shoot the bowl" with a world champion skateboarder. Your stunt
car explodes off a tunnel ramp. A high pitched siren pierces your
senses. Suddenly a long red hook and ladder rushing to a fire
streaks past. You're hanging on for dear life as you swing around
sharp corners. Anxiety mounts as a woman, pushing a baby carriage,
steps into the path of the oncoming fire truck. "Hang Ten" on a high
crest off Waikiki Beach. Marvel at steep, volcanic canyons covered
with lush green tropical foliage in Kauai, Hawaii. Swing to and fro
on an ornate Viking vessel. Big Ben rises commanding-ly as you
clutch the handle of a London taxi during rush hour. A skilled
driver shifts his purring Porsche into the fast lane. Overtaking all
competition, he whirls through narrow hairpin turns to a screeching
halt.

Impact |
19 |
13:30 |
The "Revolution" coaster takes you
through daring dips and dives along 3,657 feet of spiraling track. A
tunnel transports you into a spectacular galactic star field.
Suddenly you're on skis schussing a slalom course. Raft the cresting
rapids of the Chattanooga River. Take an Everglades airboat ride and
recoil from a venom-dripping poisonous snake. Hope you don't plunge
into the Mediterranean on a heart stopping drive along a narrow
cliff lined highway. Fly over Paris, New York's Statue of Liberty,
the Sears Tower in Chicago, under a Mississippi River bridge and
through the treacherous volcanic Na Pali coastal mountain range in
Hawaii. Take a fast paced mound-leaping motor-cross race. Screech
and crash as Grandma takes a hilarious drive to a shopping mall.

Cavalcade of
Thrills |
19 |
13:00 |
"Mister Twister" roller coaster zips
you through 360 degree curves, a pitch black tunnel, and a white
knuckle drop. Your adrenalin mounts as an on-coming train roars
towards a car stalled on the tracks and a woman frozen in shock.
Cold bites your face as your snowmobile dodges trees in the
splendorous Utah mountains. Round each curve faster and faster as a
"high-ballin" 18 wheeler swerves down the twisting Big Sur highway
and plunges headlong over the cliff into the rocky sea below.
Breathtaking aerial views of the rugged California Coast, Golden
Gate Bridge, San Francisco Skyline and Grand Canyon. Laugh at a
frantic boater in Newport Beach Harbor. Plunge 114 feet at 65 miles
per hour on the "Loch Ness Monster", one of the tallest, fastest,
fiercest roller coasters in the world. A sudden exit from heavy high
speed traffic brings you to a bug-eyed stop behind a huge garbage
truck.

*"Circus Magic"
The pageantry, thrills, excitement and drama of this circus
spectacular explodes off the screen in ESI 3-D. From the Ringmaster
to the Circus Parade you see each act as never before - close up and
coming at you.
Better duck! Those crazy clowns are about to throw a pail of water.
Crack! Surrounded by snarling, ferocious, big cats the trainer's
whip and chair are his only defense as he sends them through hoops
of fire straight at you.
A stunning trapeze artist turns high above the center ring. On each
swing she reaches toward you.
Delight to the Magician's slight of hand. Reach out to touch the
doves and colorful scarfs as they float in mid-air.
You are the target of a masked knife thrower hurling one deadly
dagger after another.
You'll gasp as the fire juggler's flaming torches nearly singe your
hair.
Will he make it? A motorcycle and its rider precariously balanced on
a cable, climb toward the lights. Slow angled ascension turns to
disaster as bike and rider slide out of control.
There's more! Horseback Riders tumbling, elephants trumpeting, and
acrobats bouncing.
*Available for lease only. Length approximately 12 minutes. Foreign
Language Narrations and Sponsor Titles available.

"Magic Reef" |
1989 |
13 |
With young diving enthusiasts we
explore the coral reefs and marine life of the Red Sea. Through our
dive masks we see and reach to touch comical, spiny puffers, polka
dotted balloon fish, electric blue and yellow spotted rays, immense
and ancient Napoleon fish. Translucent jelly fish drift through our
fingers. Displaying territorial behavior, a menacing moray eel
emerges for a nose to nose encounter. Shimmering clouds of glass
fish scatter in streams of sunlight. A leopard shark startles reef
fish into a frenzied flight. A majestic 5 ton manta ray glides
silently through the abyss, oblivious to his entourage of pilot
fish and a shark seeking protection in the 17 foot span of his wing
tips. Delicate and deadly fire fish with lace fringes drift like a
choir of ethereal angels in an inky grotto. The magic of polarized
light and ESI 3-D lets us see beyond the screen into the depths in a
dramatic new experience.

"The Magic Egg" |
1985 |
15 |
"The Magic Egg" is the world's first
totally synthesized giant-screen movie. All the pictures were
created on computers. All the sounds were created on synthesizers.
The film represents the leading edge of computer graphics,
electronic music, and 70mm format film-making.
"The Magic Egg" is the biggest computer graphics project ever
undertaken and the most unique film ever produced. It is a high-tech
wonder that staggers the imagination with over a dozen computer
animation sequences beginning with a geodesic egg form floating
through space and then plunging on a voyage to earth for high speed
exploration of Chicago streets and buildings. A beat-ing heart
inside a giant man-like robot surrounds all eyes and ears. The
audience reaches out to touch the petals as they float through a
vast flower field. The overall effect of these and many more
sequences is combination of pure art with a sensory experience never
before seen on a motion picture screen.
Lease Price: $27,000 U.S./year

"Heads Up" |
|
|
The world overhead suddenly opens up
and comes to life amid shrieks, squeals of joy, laughter,
involuntary ducks of the head, and wonder at the spectacle being
shown on the vast hemispherically shaped screen.
Thunder rumbling in the distance erupts into jagged bolts of
lightning.
Audiences delight at the color and pageantry of a circus parade,
spectacular acrobatic balancing, juggling and the stunning artist
turning and swinging on the trapeze. Crack! Wide eyed excitement
awaits inside the big cats cage. Watch out! That huge elephant is
going to crush you.
Plunge down a hill of two steel ribbons into a twisting double loop
coaster.
Las Vegas' famed night lights dazzle overhead. Show girls high step
their way through a raucous display of mud wrestling.
A genuine Mississippi River Boat passes under looming iron bridges.
Opposing football teams collide as the band marches all around.
Screech - Crash! Oh no! That crane is dropping that wrecked car
right on top of you!
Lost in a dark cave. Damp moist air cools the fear. Nearly touching
a nest of spiders causes a scream that excites a swarm of bats.
Attempting escape sets off an avalanche of rocks. After a near-miss,
there is no escape from the fearsome stalagmonster.

Program I:
Omni Films currently has three hours of existing high impact point
of view thrill scenes available. Footage includes top roller
coasters from around the World, runaway trains, car chases, flight
acrobatics, motor cycle races, helicopter rides over, through and
under some of nature's and man's greatest wonders and much more.
"Brainstorm"
produced and directed by Douglas Trumball and star-ring Natalie
Wood, Christopher Walken, Cliff Robertson and Louise Fletcher,
features eleven point of view scenes from Omni Films movie library
including the "Loch Ness Monster", roller coaster, Lake Placid
bobsled run, snowmobiling in Utah, Grand Canyon, Golden Gate Bridge,
surfboarding, and a runaway tractor trailer.
Customers are encouraged, with the assistance of Omni Films, to
create their own 2 1/2 - 5 minute film(s) by selecting various
scenes from the existing library. Once selected the scenes will be
composed into a film and programmed for synchronization with the
Motion Master seats.
Annual Lease Price: $20,000 to $25,000 for each 2 1/2 to 5 minute
adventure including one film print with computer program.
Program II:
Omni Films is currently in production on new themed Motion Master
point of view footage. The first film will be a Space Adventure
where each viewer will experience flying a star fighter. This film
will be ready for release in March, 1990. The second film will
highlight U.S. Naval Aviation on board a U.S.A. aircraft carrier. A
former "Top Gun" instructor will coordinate the shoot. Other scripts
for themed adventures are being drafted. They include a submarine
chase, a military tank ride, journey to the center of the earth and
flight into the "eye" of a hurricane.
Annual Lease Price: Depending on film cost and program complexity,
these 2 1/2 to 5 minute themed adventures are expected to lease for
$30,000 to $50,000 each, including one film print with computer
program.
Program III:
Some Motion Master theater locations, such as shopping malls, are
expected to have a higher demand for film adventures because of
increased repeat visitation. Operators of such Motion Master
theaters are encouraged to participate in an annual film leasing
program which allows access to the Motion Master film library. The
annual lease price will be determined by the number of film
adventures and prints required.
Program IV:
In the last 12 years as a film production company, Omni Films has
talked to a number of entrepreneurial companies and individuals who
would like to be involved in making a movie and running a 70mm
theater. Omni Films, therefore, offers a fourth option where the
Motion Master customer may enter into a contractual agreement to
participate in the production of a film. In return the customer will
receive rights to use the film exclusively in his market area and
share in the revenues generated from distribution to Motion Master
theaters in his own country and internationally.
Besides custom film production Omni Films can also provide 70mm
custom film titles and/or promotional film trailers for exhibitors
and their sponsors.
