How it feels

This short IMAX film gives viewers the feeling of flying over Fort Worth, Texas in a helicopter. It was made to help people get used to watching movies on the huge domed Omni Theater screen.

What happens

Fort Worth Flyover is the name of a short IMAX film created for the Omni Theater at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, the first one commissioned by a specific museum. Designed to simulate flying over Fort Worth, Texas in a helicopter, the movie (and later, a 1992 update) is traditionally shown before each Omni Theater feature, in part to acclimatize new viewers to the OMNIMAX domed-theater format.
