While the experience of "shopping" at the massive West Edmonton Mall may be enough for even the most intrepid visitor, the three-dimensional Cinema Ride located in the mall can add a bit more excitement to the visit. If the opportunities for a simulated roller coaster ride, a space adventure or a submarine trip aren't enough to attract attention, there is always the option of a ski run or a haunted house tour.
Under the auspices of Cinema Ride Edmonton, Inc., patrons have been thrilled by life-like simulation here for more several years. The Edmonton facility is one of several operated by Cinema Ride Inc. of Studio City, California. The newest film from Warren Miller Entertainment, Inc. will be offered in only three places and Edmonton is fortunate enough to be one of the select few.
For those completely unfamiliar with this type of entertainment, the adventure consists of joining others in a motion simulator, similar to a flight-simulator used to train pilots. The three-dimensional video/film provides plenty of thrills. Warren Miller Entertainment's three dimensional ski run film will be enhanced by the presence of wind in the simulator, to heighten the effect of going downhill at a high rate of speed.
The West Edmonton Mall, where Cinema Ride Edmonton is located, has more than 5 million square feet of store space, with hundreds of shops occupying the huge mall. In addition to Cinema Ride Edmonton, the mall has a hotel, a gambling casino and an IMAX Theater. It is possible to get one free Cinema Ride ticket from the company's Web site.
