It does show the general concept of the room and how each 'beam of light' interfaces with its surroundings. But as with other such artistic endeavors, it's a bit fanciful. The 'depth' of the room is considerably greater than what's represented here, and obviously, the space had to accommodate the film processor cabinets (although originally built prior to the invention of film platters, the design wisely chose those cabinets, allowing film prints to remain in-service for extended periods of time, without any degradation to the image), ancillary equipment, etc. Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-32855753386249100742016-11-15T09:03:48.142-08:002016-11-15T09:03:48.142-08:00Nothing wrong with these pictures.

Thanks Major for revisiting that old decision.<br /><br />@Chuck, thanks for the research on CircleVision, much appreciated.<br /><br />I would have loved to hear Thufer's commentary on the parking lot.

The POTC show building should be under construction about now.<br /><br />As a follow-up to yesterday's discussion, I managed to find a <a href="http://www.themeparktourist.com/sites/default/files/images/Circle-Vision.preview.jpg" rel="nofollow">cross-section view of a Circle-Vision theater</a>. It's not quite a blueprint and it doesn't show how the theater would have fit into the building at Disneyland, but it does give you an idea of the size and shape of the projection room and the projector windows.

It actually gives the Matterhorn a cooler feel which is s match for the its icy look. Both pics are nice today. Thanks, Major.K.
