On page 2 of this particular discussion, I shared a video of the Dragon's Treasure show at the City of Dreams in Macau, China. Well it seems like SeaWorld Orlando is getting the same technology next year, in their TurtleTrek show. Opening date, Spring 2012:

Similar tech can also be found at the national space centre in Leicester and at the marvel 4d exhibit at madame tussaud's London
since 2001 (many before that)

For all fans of the former Le Visionarium attraction at DLRP, here's a video of "From Time to Time" by Bruce Broughton. It was recorded at the "Hollywood in Vienna 2011" concert.

It's a great video, isn't it. The weird thing is, it's been online for 2 weeks now, so how come we've only just discovered it?

Also, there's an album of the whole event available (15 tracks, 1h:19m:01s of audio). I'm not going to reveal how or where to get it, but all I can say is, it's fantastic to finally have a CD-quality recording of Le Visionarium. Obviously it's not the whole attraction, just the same 2m:01s heard in this video.

Did any of you catch that 28 minute The Making of Le Visionarium video that was online in July 2008? I believe it got taken down, presumably for copyright reasons, because I can't find it online anymore.

Anyway, there was lots of great information in that documentary; interviews with the director, producers, the actor who played Jules Verne, even GĂ©rard Depardieu!

I transcribed the English, and had the French parts translated for me, and put it all into an article. It's available on Medium now so please check it out. And as always, feel free to "Leave a note" on it, if you have anything to add or want to comment on a particular sentence.
