History

edit

The first Roxy Theatre was installed at Warner Bros. Movie World ahead of the park's opening on 3 June 1991. A replica was later built at Movie Park Germany (which was known as Warner Bros. Movie World Germany at the time). In 2005, the theater underwent a major refurbishment which included the installation of 4D motion seats.[1]

Theatre

edit

The Roxy Theatre is located in Main Street at Warner Bros. Movie World. Guests queue outside the theater and enter a preshow room before they see their film. The preshow room then leads into the main theatre which seats 320 people.[2] The seats which have motion capabilities were designed by FX Illusions.[1]
