Celluloid Junkie » Disney Promotes 3D with Inflatable Theater

Disney's 'A Christmas Carol' Train Tour You’ve got to hand it to Disney for creating another innovative way to promote 3D.
To raise awareness of the format and the studio’s upcoming stereoscopic release “A Christmas Carol,” Disney has put together a 40-city promotional tour that will travel by train.
As part of the exhibition, at each stop Disney will put up an inflatable 3D theater that was specially developed for the tour with technology suppliers Dolby and Barco. The 50x 50 ft. theater stands 25 ft. high and can be erected in less than six hours, execs said.
Disney's 'A Christmas Carol' Train Tour The theater uses the Dolby 3D system, and its gear includes two Barco DP2000 digital projectors, Dolby servers and a Dolby sound system. There is freestanding 18 by 17½ ft. screen and seating for 125.
Here, guests preview 3D clips from Robert Zemeckis’ “A Christmas Carol,” which opens Nov. 6.
The clever theater design will no doubt have plenty of additional applications.
The “Christmas Carol Train Tour” opened over Memorial Day weekend at Los Angeles’ Union Station and wraps the weekend of Oct. 30 in New York. The tour schedule can be found here

I did my level best to go see the Christmas Carol Train Tour on Memorial Day. Upon arriving via the fantastic Gold Line at Union Station we found the line for the train and queued up. There were very helpful Disney staff engaging with the crowd, who informed us that from where we were standing it was a 5-hour wait.

We abandoned ship to have a nice lunch at Philippe's.
