The Las Vegas haunted attraction Fright Dome has announced that this year, in partnership with SimEx-Iwerks Entertainment and Warner Bros. Consumer Products to create Friday the 13th 4-D: A Deadly 4-D Experience, which they claim will make them, “…the very first haunted attraction in the world to feature a 4-D show with the iconic brand.”
Direct from the official press release:
Horror fans will experience another dimension of terror as Jason Voorhees, the world’s most recognizable horror icon, slashes his way through thirteen kills in thirteen minutes. Jason attacks anyone who enters the grounds of Camp Crystal Lake with every twist and turn. Heightened by hair-raising 3-D and startling special effects; this creepy 4-D experience delivers heart-stopping action. Guests will experience a sensory overload of fear as they come face-to-face with the machete-wielding killer.
The Adventuredome’s state-of-the-art, 4-D Special FX Theatre is a fully immersive experience with an array of in-theater special effects to complement the on-screen show. Seat vibrations, water sprays and other alarming horrors are designed to let guests feel like part of the grim action.
The way this is being pulled off sounds interesting but also somewhat lacking. If I go to a haunted house then I don’t want to sit in a theater, even if that theater basically “comes alive”. I want to actually go through the event myself. Have me sign a release form that gives permission for “Jason” to pick me up and take me away as though I’m one of the 13 “kills”. If I make it through the maze without getting caught, all the better!
More information about all the other attractions offered at the house can be found at the official website.
