The Sensorium
The Sensorium is regarded the world's first commercial 4D film and was first screened in a Six Flags theme park in Baltimore in 1984.[1] It was produced in partnership with Landmark Entertainment.[2]
Description
The 4D film included multiple track discrete sound system, bodysonic seats and Scent-a-Vision (a series of smells 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 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 showing at Six Flags Power Plant theme park.[2]
