In 2010, Futuroscope will be taking young visitors on experiences that use image technology and a different look at the world to give them an insight into the future.

 

Hurricane on the Bayou – New for 2010

The gigantic images on the 9,700-ft² dome screen take viewers deep into the Louisiana heartland. When the Mississippi was diverted, New Orleans was able to spread out into these zones, but doing so has resulted in massive coastal erosion. The damage to its bayous and wetlands, once natural hurricane defences, has been such that New Orleans finds itself at increasing risk from cyclones.  Hurricane on the Bayou is a thrilling story and a musical celebration of New Orleans that teaches young generations about the importance of preserving wetlands and ecosystems.

 

Brush with Genius – New for 2010

The images on the 6,500-ft² screen in Brush with Genius offer a totally new look at Van Gogh and his work, and the film’s stunning graphics are a moving journey to the sources of the artist’s inspiration. The way the IMAX technology gives young visitors a new perspective on art makes the film an original sensory experience.
