New Ft. Worth Science and History Museum Taps MediaMation for 4D Motion Effects Theater Technology

MediaMation (MMI) a supplier of 4D motion effects seats, theatres and related technologies to the museum marketplace, was subcontracted to A/V integrators Technomedia Solutions, of Orlando, Florida, to supply major products and ride programming expertise to Energy Blast!, the 4D attraction housed in the new Fort Worth Science and History Museum. For this project, MMI provided and installed 40 of its own X4D motion effects seats, as well as performed custom programming of the ride's motion and seat effects via its award-winning ShowFlow control system. The 166,000 sq. ft. building was designed by the architecture firm Legorreta & Legorreta. Both firms worked under contract to Design & Production, Inc. of Lorton, Virgnia, the fabricator of the exhibits for three galleries in the expansion space.

According to Chris Seide, MMI's project manager, the fact that X4D effects seats are so highly adaptable, yet cost-effective, played a major role in the Torrance, California-based interactive attractions technology company winning this part of the project.
