This seems like a fun ride to enhance the experience of the falls in another way without getting wet! Personally, I would want to see the falls as much as I could but seeing the drone footage at the precipice before the drop would be really exciting to see a new perspective, and this would make the park more accessible to people with disabilities. This sounds like a great addition to the tourists' experience. However, this should not replace seeing the falls firsthand. We spend a good chunk of our life looking at screens and experiencing life through someone else’s eyes, so I think it’s important to create and capture memories of our own. I did almost stop and see the falls on my way back from a summer gig while driving back from New York to Michigan. Unfortunately and fortunately, I drove past the falls and saw them, but I could not stop because of the crowds and then as I was finally able to it started pouring. Another time
This is a really interesting addition to a landmark like Niagra falls. I will say from the title it sounding like we were getting a literal floating theater but this does make a lot more sense after reading the article. I think attractions like these are really neat and provide another viewing angle/experience with these gorgeous natural landmarks. There’s a reason attractions like Soarin’ over California at Disney are so popular. The ability to get that bird’s eye view perspective is a very neat one, and one many people really enjoy. That being said, as other commenters have mentioned it is still genuinely so important that people continue to keep experiencing things firsthand. There really is no replacement for seeing landmarks like Niagra falls in person and experience this should serve to supplement, not replace the actual experiences. Overall though, I think this as a supplement, or addition is a really interesting concept and I’m curious to see its implementation in real life.
The idea of building a flying theater in this article gave me a lot of inspiration. I often think that whether it is a performance in a theater or a film in a movie theater, it is essentially to create a special experience for the audience that cannot be directly felt in daily life. I remember that in Disney, there is an amusement rider where visitors can sit on the facility and rise into the air to overlook the beauty of different continents. In addition to the visual 3D experience, the device is also equipped with a wind turbine and a smell machine. So in addition to vision and hearing, visitors can also have a unique sense of smell. But this makes me think again, when creating these experiences, do we have to pursue the sense of reality infinitely? But I believe that no matter how advanced the technology is, the sense of reality can never be achieved 100%. Therefore, it is particularly important to balance the relationship between theatrical and realistic.
I wonder how many people thought that “flying theatre” meant a theater in the air. I certainly did. It’s still a cool concept, though, even if the venue is on the ground. It’s hard to think of a much better way of experiencing the true scale of the Niagara Falls, I suppose without actually being there in person. It would still offer sights that you wouldn’t normally be able to get, for example, being able to ride over the falls. It would also make the falls more accessible, too. I’ve been to Niagara Falls once, and it’s hard to truly grasp the size of it, at least as a child. Flying theaters themselves are really interesting. I’ve only had the opportunity to ride one in my life, and it was really fun. It’s surprising how your mind can be fooled by the screen and the physical motion of the ride; it really feels like flying.
