The Lozier IMAX Theater at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha Nebraska.
Information from the Zoo IMAX Website:
OPENED: March 27, 1997
COST: $7.6 million
SHOWING IN 2010: Coral Reef Adventures 2D, Ultimate Wave Tahiti 3D and Bugs! 3D. Please call (402) 330-IMAX or click here for current show times.
The IMAX screen measures 61 feet tall by 83 feet wide. That's as tall as four giraffes and as wide as seven rhinos! The screen was painted with a special reflective paint, which provides a sharp picture no matter where the viewer sits. Millions of tiny holes in the screen make it "transparent" to sound waves from the speakers behind the screen. However, the holes are not visible to the human eye.
The projector weighs more than one elephant, or 7,310 pounds! It uses two 15,000 watt bulbs, where an ordinary 35mm projector uses one 2,000 watt bulb.
IMAX Theatre Type: IMAX - 3D platform
