We are a 7D cinema, which in a nutshell is a 3D simulator where we throw in the senses (touch, smell etc) There are several different rides to choose from eg:Roller Coasters to Haunted Houses and Sci Fi to Prehistoric Adventures. The ride lasts between 4 - 9 minutes depending on chosen ride. A new addition to the 7D is we have a Virtual Reality (VR) ride in the waiting area where you sit down in a chair put on the special headset and earphones and emerge into the world of VR. This ride takes you through a city street then swings you high into the air and back again, a real stomach churner certainly not for people who have a fear of heights and definitely not for the faint hearted, dare you try it?
