Science North in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, has added a new 4D experience to its range of attractions.

Wildfires! A Firefighting Adventure, takes guests into the heart of a major forest fire to give them a close-up look at how fires are created and controlled and how scientific research has developed effective forest fire fighting techniques.

This immersive experience in the Vale Cavern at Science North in Sudbury uses 3D film techniques combined with motion seating and special wind, water and smoke effects to explore the science of fire behaviour and firefighting.

Visitors to the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre in Sault Ste Marie will also experience a variation of this film in 3D, complete with special effects.

The seats at the 60-capacity theatre were supplied by SimEx-Iwerks with all the special effects programmed by the Science North inhouse team.
