Destination Atlantis Awaits El Capitan Visitors

(April 4, 2001 - by digitalmediafx.com) Those who view Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire at Hollywood's historic El Capitan theater will be treated to Destination Atlantis, a three story walk-through exhibit made to look like the underworld of Atlantis. This year the exhibit will be entirely Atlantis themed and will include the following elements:

- Props, displays, and sketches from the animated movie.

- Huge fish tanks filled with live stingrays, jellyfish, and sharks.

- An educational glimpse into the history of the legend of Atlantis.

- Atlantis Laser Tag game in an Atlantis glow in the dark maze.

- A recreation of the underground Atlantis completely themed throughout the exhibit so you feel like you're really in Atlantis.

Last year, Disney built a huge dinosaur exhibit to coincide with its release of Dinosaur at the El Capitan. The three story exhibit gave a behind the scenes glimpse of the making of Dinosaur (sound, animation, special effects), and brought moving dinosaurs to life, including ones that would spit water or appear from behind plants to "attack." The exhibit received rave reviews.

Disney is expected to make an official announcement about Destination Atlantis within the next several weeks. The exhibit and movie will be playing at the El Capitan from June 8 through July 15, 2001.
