Ripley’s 5D Moving Theater in Gatlinburg
Ripley’s Moving Theater in Gatlinburg offers an immersive cinematic experience that places you directly inside the action. This innovative attraction delivers a 360-degree surround experience, often referred to as the “fifth dimension,” where the movie extends beyond the screen.
The state-of-the-art technology allows you to ride through intense scenarios such as earthquakes, space battles, and fierce storms alongside the characters, all enhanced by advanced surround sound and visual effects.
Dynamic Motion Seats
A key feature of this experience is the moving seats, which mimic the on-screen motion to create a fully immersive sensation. Each seat is mounted on a mechanical base that can pitch, roll, and spin in eight different directions, synchronized precisely with every movement and effect in the 3D film. Whether navigating an asteroid field or racing down a rickety mine cart track, the realistic seat motions add a thrilling dimension to the adventure.
Exciting Film Selection
Featuring Hollywood-quality storylines and stunning 3D animation, the theater presents a variety of themed adventures. Guests can explore environments ranging from snowy mountains to safari landscapes and even encounter prehistoric thrills while rescuing a baby dinosaur in a Jurassic jungle.
