Wanda Movie Park

Opened in 2015, Wanda Movie Park is China’s newest indoor theme park made up of interactive and 4D/5D rides. Hubei in the Air is a fully immersive fly theater film lifting people up in the air on a robotic arm and flying over the Hubei province of China. Since the experience focuses on this specific region of China, careful attention was given to the Chinese music style as it was important to resonate with the people in the Hubei province from a cultural standpoint. This experience is combined with wind, scent and water effects that give people a true feeling of flying. With over 2 years in the making, we took the project from conceptual design to full implementation of the sonic experience together with Pixomondo. We then created full orchestral scores and sound design utilizing a live 80 piece symphony orchestra, 40 person choir and specifically created sound foley for the main film, queue and pre-show areas. Our onsite mix team then brought a full ProTools rig to the location mixing the main theater in 18.1 surround sound as well and various multi-speaker environmental queue and preshow areas.
