New theatres showing 4D and 5D films have opened in two Danish theme parks – Bakken and Fårup Sommerland – to provide film attractions for visitors of all ages.

The 64-seat theatre at Bakken – converted from a former a dance hall – is currently showing three movie experiences called PandaVision, Haunted House and Haunted Mine, supplied by Brussels-based cinema producer nWave.

The park’s vice-president, Frank Andersen, said: “People in Denmark are really surprised at the new theatre as they haven’t seen anything like it here before. I think it will be a big success.”

The 96-seat Fårup Sommerland 4D theatre – housed in a purpose-built building – is also showing the PandaVision film by nWave.

The park’s president, Søren Kragelund, said: “Fifty per cent of the guests to the park this season have seen the film and it has been very popular. It has received a very enthusiastic response from the audiences. We certainly have more satisfied customers than I expected.” Details: www.3dba.com
