For a limited time, IMAX fans can see some of their favorite, classic IMAX films at the Virginia Air & Space Center for only $5!
From EVEREST to The Dream is Alive, some of the most popular IMAX classics are returning to the giant IMAX screen for one last engagement before the Riverside 3D IMAX Theater undergoes a major renovation to convert to the latest digital IMAX technology.
According to Deputy Director Kim Hinson, "To bring our visitors the IMAX films they desire and improve our theater's comfort, it is necessary to upgrade our IMAX system to the latest technology and replace our theater seating." The theater is expected to be closed temporarily for renovation, from September 7 through September 23, allowing staff to upgrade existing theater seating and carpet. High-back seats with cup holders will be added for guests' theater comfort. In addition, a new digital projection system will be installed to keep the theater's IMAX Experience state-of-the-art, offering crystal-clear images, laser-aligned digital sound and customized theater geometry. These renovations will not only make the IMAX experience more comfortable, but will allow the Center to continue to present the latest Hollywood Blockbuster films in IMAX.
