Sentosa 4D Magix

The Sentosa 4D Magix, located at Sentosa, is Singapore's first and largest 4-dimensional theatre. Opened in January 2006, at the cost of S$3.5 million.

Technology

The theatre is equipped with state-of-the-art Digital Projection and DTS 6.1 sound system. The highlight of the theatre are the special seats. Each seat, which costs about S$10,000, comes equipped with special effects: in-built speakers, seat vibration, leg ticklers, water features and base shaker features. The movement effect is received directly by each rider via the individually controlled seat. The entire theatre and all it's effects are coordinated through a show control system which ensures a precise coordination of the special effects of the show.

Show

Currently, the only 4D show screening is "Pirates". This is an adventure comedy where viewers join in the hilarious misadventures of Captain Lucky and his hapless pirate crew on their clumsy quest for treasure.

The fully-automated show lasts just 15 minutes. Research has taken place and find that anything above 15 minutes, the audience will not be able to take the surprises in the theatre. This is unlike a normal movie where audiences sit in for 90 minutes.
