Sicily opened simulator 7d to Rifugio Sapienza Etna – Quotidianodiragusa.it

Five minutes of a unique of its kind, which brings tourists face to face with the volcano, making him live the suggestions of the eruption.
 All this is now possible, thanks to the new room Cinesfera simulator in 7D, set up inside the station out of the Etna cableway to Rifugio Sapienza (at 1900 meters). The movie theater, which was inaugurated this morning by Dr. Francesco Russo Vinci, managing director of the company Etna cableway, is composed of 42 seats (and can accommodate up to 1200 people a day).
 Movement, vibration, noise, wind, water, tactile sensations: the new hall project “The other Etna” is the only of its kind in Sicily, the most complete and technological research, and is one of the few existing in Italy so made ( salt similar, although 5D, there are for example Gardaland and Mirabilandia). Something similar, cinema 7D, has already been achieved in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Dubai.
 “Etna Experience” is the film created by the Etna cableway to the infant room 7D and was produced by a company in Catania: the idea was born from the desire to create a short film on the topic, he was able to simulate an eruption vulcania on the cable car to the presence of tourists.
 What happens technically the viewer? The seats of the cinema and oscillate around the tourist begins to collapse altogether. The protagonist of the film, the same tourist, try the feeling of trying to escape the eruption, thanks to a series of special effects, created with the simulator 7D and lived through special glasses; such as for example the effect snow, soap bubbles, splashing of geyser or water.
 “This film was born from the need to expand the tourist offer and give a chance to those who for whatever reason could not go up in altitude, as cruise passengers who do not have the time to do it, or those who want to save something, to have a chance to combine trips and emotions that can give an eruption, “says Dr. Francesco Russo Vinci, managing director of the company Etna cableway. “Is that what did this new tour package: a project we called” The other Etna “and will bring tourists to take a trip to the craters Silvestri and live the eruption through this new film, which combines the need for project through the three-dimensional glasses eruption: the tourist will have the feeling of being in contact with lava and magma. ”
 It opens a new page of the Rifugio Sapienza and the Etna cableway. This part is the fun aspect of the project that is very ambitious, worthy of the place in which it was organized: the Etna. The initiative of the Etna cableway, which aims to expand the tourism offer Volcano largest in Europe, will propose soon a technological museum of Etna, which will be inaugurated in a first static version in August and then later will be set up a museum in the dynamic version – interactive. Tourists will come into practice in a cave and be able to understand all the geo-genesis Etna.
 An important innovation has been announced for the cabins of the cable car, already equipped with the hook for bicycles: all early because early start will also start a project for setting up a “bike park”.
