Falls Theater (Originally 4D Cinema)

We are looking forward to it. We’ve spent many a Saturday morning watching the looney tunes. You can’t beat the classics .
I really agree you can beat the classics!

Was really impressed by this today. Decided to go in as we got our free hot drinks. Glad we decided they were too hot to drink at that point and put them on the floor as there could have been considerable spillage otherwise!!

Love the look of the theatre from outside, Queue line and the pre show area. Just wish they do the inside of the theatre to match.

I vaguely remember them being used a few years ago in December 2017 but don't think I have seen them used since then. Nice that they are back with a newly decorated room to go along with it.

It been used ever since it opened but you nearly spend any time in there.
Now it just shows highlights of the movie next door and that safety instructions. It’s good Drayton decided to keep there’s after Alton removed there’s and now Paulton’s
The highlights feel like they show a bit too much - I'd have kept it just as the safety stuff
But when we went last week- they started letting us in as the safety started to show so people were more focussed on getting in than watching that

I'm guessing this may be for when there is more of a throughput and queues. They could have a lot more in "hold positions" using this middel room. Mind you what is the capacity of the two waiting areas compared to the actual cinema?
The waiting areas have a lower capacity than the cinema (for comfortable standing at least)
I think they need a sort of countdown/estimated "next show" timer as you never know how far away the next show is. (yes it runs every 15 minutes, but an indicator of when the next show is roughly?)

good idea that. We were lucky on Sunday as they had just opened the doors when we pitched up. But a couple of minutes later we could have been there for the full time.

They need this at the Haunting too - countdown so you can work out how long to wait

Really strange today, the signage outside detailed that the cartoon would only be in 2D.
Pre show announcement was that there would still be effects - which was sort of apparent as the seats were sprinkled with water.
Then the show came on and it wasn't a flat 2D presentation, it was like a 3d film but without the glasses the whole thing was a bit mismatched and with the double slightly offset images.
I took advantage of closing my eyes for 10 minutes or so. I noted Wild West tones in the music - again reminiscent of Back to the Future 3. Little lad laughed long and hard so there is a clear fan there and I anticipate many more visits in the future.
On the way out, someone asked why it was 2D and was told it was broken. I don't know what exactly is broken, seemed just like they didn't want or weren't able to pass out the glasses.

I like that the opening and closing times can be changed when they use it for live entertainment for Halloween, Christmas and Feb half term.

Not sure if someone fell over but on entering and exiting they had all the lighting on
