It's touted as a children's book, but it's a very charming SF/fantasy story about a lonely girl, her odd siblings, and their encounters with a group of witches on an amazing mission. I'm 53 and I still re-read it every other year or so. The movie a couple years ago was OK, but the book is spectacular! And the 4th dimension is supposed to be time.

Not to ruin the story (I don't think it's a major plot point, but it's been several years since I read it), but a tesseract is when you travel and do a bunch of stuff that takes a long time, but then you return to your starting place before you left. Sort of like flying from Asia to the US, but you're more productive in between. : )

The reason why some rides claim to be in 4D is to trick guets into thinking it is an attraction better then 3D. i get asked this question all the time and it is really stupid. In relation to movies 3D is as far as it gets. The effects in the theatre are not any kind of D they are just in theatre effects. and have no relation to D keep in mind a D is a demsion and o i don't see how a moving floor is a demension. you can look it u if you want but there is no such thing as 4D in realtio nto a movie and 5D just doesn't exist.

It should not be granted precious space just for the sake of preserving a medium. If there is no substance for the medium to serve, or if the medium is outdated, let something more interesting take its place. If the only options for Magic Eye are HISTA and EO -- both of which are outdated and unimpressive films -- I think Disney would do well to bulldoze the theater and bring something more magical to the Park. <<It still fits the theme of Tomorrowland. Only recently in the real world are 3D theatres becoming normal, but none are 5D (motion simulator is #5). So, Magic Eye is still Tomorrow technology.>> But in the theme park world, sitting in a standard theater seat and having mist sprayed on your face is totally "been there, done that." For at least 20 years now. Yawn. So NOT cutting edge. There is nothing about Magic Eye that feels like "tomorrow". The Magic Eye Theater is "recent past," at best. Tear it down. Then Imagineer something new (maybe in conjunction with a modern technology company) and once again use that space to open an attraction that makes people say "WOW!" THAT is what would be in keeping with the theme of Tomorrowland.

If the same theatrical technology is employed in BugsLand and MuppetLand -- which it is -- how does its useage in TomorrowLand make it somehow "futuristic"?

As long as both shows use the same projectors, and the effects for both can be concealed in the theater at the same time, I see no reason that with modern technology it would take weeks to switch from one to another. Yah, it might take some creativity to get all the effects in there, and some tweaking to make sure both run properly, but they should be able to design a program that could even run the two show alternating between one another. If they can design vehicles that drive around a building with no track and recharge their batteries in the station in just a few seconds, I see no reason why they can't get 2 3D shows to run in the same theater. Heck, I believe Busch Gardens Williamsburg was doing that many years ago when I visited, with Sesame Street in the morning, and Pirates in the afternoon/evening.
Originally Posted By danyoung >Sorry beleive but your wrong there is no such thing as 4D or 5D.< Yes, I know. We're not talking physics here - we're talking promotional gimmicky talk. The 4D label has always bothered me too, as the Muppet movie is in 3D, no more. >It takes weeks too sync up the special effects with the film and could not be switched over in an hour. its not that simple.< I don't think they'll run both shows either, but that doesn't mean they couldn't. They could have all effects in place, all controlled by computer, and then simply have both versions of the control code and video available at the push of a button. No changeover at all - keep all effects from BOTH shows active and ready to go. But again, I think when HISTA leaves, it's gone for good.

However, don't know if in- house effects were activated. At Legoland, they play three "4D" movies (using RealD projectors) in the same theatre in the same day (Bob the Builder, Spell Breaker, and Lego Racers). So yes, it is easily doable. Oh, and get this, they have a new movie coming in March called "Clutch Power 4-D Adventure". If Legoland can come out with a new movie every year or two - why not Disney? - I just made up the term "5D". Since 3D means the picture jumps out at you, and 4D typically means in theatre effects like water, wind, lights, and such. I dub 5D the motion simular part.

Originally Posted By Inspector 57 4D means "time"? How is "time" a new dimension to viewing any film? If I'm not mistaken, it took me something like 3 hours to watch "Titanic."
Originally Posted By Hista98 the problem is that people when they say 4D they mean the intheatre effects which is using the wording incorrectly. its becoming so popular now that most people think thats what 4D means and a sound uneducated and stupid

Originally Posted By Manfried No, return the carousel back into a good show. Frankly Innoventions should be dumped into a trash compactor.
