Yeah, first time, you're like "OH MY GOD". All the other times it was so funny to wait because "they don't know what they're in for". I always could hear audible gasps from around the audience.
They played this in the Omni at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History before EVERY movie and it was STUNNING! Until like 2005 or something!! This is only a small part of it, the complete version zooms all the way down down to the actual Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, and all the staff are waving from the rooftop. You would get chills/feel terrified watching it every single time on such a giant screen!
Im feeling homesick. The Fort Worth flyover II was really good. The helicopter peels up the skyscrapers. Then fighter jets at the end. I'm forced to live in the Midwest atm and I miss Texas so much.
It is amazing in the Omni/Imax you felt like you were really flying with motion in your stomach. See it at the Omni/Imax if you have a chance, it is also longer. I saw it at the Science Center as a kid and was blown away by how they figured out how the create that motion effect. Like other comments have said the high pitch angle of the theater and the motion on the screen and people were grabbing their seats to hold on. It was like a roller coaster inside.
I went there as a field trip once and I cried. They didn’t tell me what it was and I have a severe fear of Heights and motion sickness. That was a fun time...
Still love heading to the Omni theater with my wife for a quick little getaway to catch one of the films out there. Do you think you'll ever update the intro? I mean, it's a great intro still, so many years later, but the Ft Worth skyline has changed so much over the past 33 years.
My elementary school bully started crying like a baby when this played on our 3rd grade field trip. He was much nicer after that. Hope you're doing well out grown up Josh.
What happened to the people waiving at the public?. Dallas is bigger than Fort Worth but I would rather live in Fort Worth by far. Anyway, I like Austin and Houston way more, more likely Houston because it's closer to Kemah and Galveston Island.
enough to make a man cry, seen tornado alley 2-3 times in that thing, pretty sure what really got me into weather too. miss those times, wish i could really go back
