IMAX 3D at Universal CityWalk Orlando
CityWalk movie-goers now have a new option with the addition of IMAX at AMC Universal Cineplex 20. The new theater actually opened on Dec. 18, with the James Cameron film, “Avatar” in 3D but we thought we’d include this in our blog as we’ve recently been asked where’s the best place to go to see a movie in Orlando.
CityWalk is hard to beat for an all round experience and this IMAX theater is no exception. In order to maximize the field of view in the new theater, the screen was replaced with a special, larger IMAX screen that is positioned closer to the audience. The new theater also features IMAX’s digital projection system as well as its latest sound system. IMAX’s digital projection system combines two digital projectors with IMAX’s proprietary image enhancer and custom lenses to create an image with greater clarity, brightness and contrast.
Also, two new quick-serve concepts have opened on CityWalk – Fusion Bistro Sushi & Sake Bar and Fat Tuesday frozen daiquiris.
Fusion Bistro Sushi, a walk-up sushi bar, is located on the upper level of CityWalk, near the Cineplex. It is open to guests for lunch, dinner and late night dining. Wireless “sushi cameras” and a robotic sushi-roll making machine help create a rock’n’roll Asian-fanfare attitude.
Fat Tuesday, best known for its signature frozen daiquiris, is located on the upper level, between Pat O’Brien’s and the groove. Guests are able to walk up and enjoy a number of frozen favorites such as pina coladas and margaritas, along with signature concoctions like the 190 Octane, Crawgator and Banana Banshee, in a laid back Big Easy-style atmosphere. It is open to guests from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Might be a great night to take in a movie…and watch out as this Summer sees so many new movies opening… we’ll be looking forward to those on future blogs so check back often.
