Flying theater

A flying theater (or suspended theater) is a themed entertainment technology and adjacent show style. It is a type of simulator ride in which seats are lifted by rigging similar to a fly system in order to create the illusion of flight. An inverted dome is projected onto in order to control the visual imagery.
