SimEx-Iwerks transformed an existing structure in the children’s zoo into a fully immersive 4D experience, with in-theatre and in-seat effects including lighting, bubbles and scents.

The attraction features live animals, a water element and an interactive and themed queue space.

The film Rio follows the last blue macaws on Earth – Blu and Jewel – on a 4D journey through Rio de Janeiro.

When they're captured by a gang of greedy animal smugglers, they must work together, despite Blu’s inability to fly. They embark on the adventure of a lifetime that has them dodging beach balls, umbrellas, carnival floats, and beach-goers as they try to escape the claws of evil cockatoo Nigel.

In partnership with Fox and Blu Sky Productions, the 13-minute experience is distributed exclusively by SimEx-Iwerks Entertainment Licensing.
