A revolutionary attraction has opened in Ankara, Turkey. Cinema-Park is a cinema complex which has been upgraded to serve as an educational theme park. Groups of students, families and employees of organizations and companies are invited to go on a four-hour Theme Package Tour between the different movie theaters.
(PRWEB) February 10, 2005 -- At Each theater they experience a different aspect of the day's theme using different technologies. The program currently running at Cinema-Park is called "Journey through the Universe". It explores Planet Earth, the Solar System, the universe and space research. At the 3D Theater, a stereoscopic movie depicts the creation of the universe, its vast expanses and minuscule building-blocks. At the Motion Theater, the visitors sit on what appear to be ordinary – albeit luxurious – cinema seats. But these are actually Smart Seats, with dual motion capability, 3 built in ticklers, a bass shaker, a scent system, air and water effects and personal speakers. The movie is a ride around our planet, with an emphasis on conservation, which is perfectly synchronized with movements of the Smart Seats and the special effects.
The Music Theater introduces the audience to the intergalactic language of music, and how it is implanted in movies about space. The Music Theater is equipped with a state of the art sound system, but also with an exciting disco-like lighting system. Other "stops" on the tour are the Dark Theater, in which the emphasis is on imagination; the Interactive Theater, in which all the visitors compete in a trivia game using unique personal remote controls; and the Inspiration Theater.
Space is only one of a multitude of subjects addressed by Cinema-Park's Theme Package Tours, from specific curriculum subjects to social, civil and ethical subjects; tangible or theoretical; from inside the atom to the summit of the Everest. Ori Yardeni, the initiator and founder of Cinema-Park Network, says, "I come from a family of teachers. So I always knew, that good content alone, or good teaching methods alone, wouldnt work. The art is to combine them, and to do so cost-effectively, too. That's the key to quality, profitable educational experiences."
Yardeni considers the secret of Cinema-Park's appeal to be a carefully constructed balance between the educational elements and the fun elements.
"The Ankara Cinema-Park, situated in Armada Shopping center, is the first of five Cinema-Parks operated by Tuze group in Turkey. We have plans for 8 more Cinema-Parks in Europe during 2005, reaching approximately 40 Cinema-Parks globally at 2008", says Ami Dror, Marketing Director of Cinema-Park Network.
