The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

SpongeBob SquarePants 4-D (also known as SpongeBob SquarePants 4-D Ride, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Ride or SpongeBob SquarePants 3-D) was a 2003 cel-shaded 4-D film simulator ride based on the predecessor of the same name. It could be found at many aquariums and theme parks across the world. The ride consisted of a pre-show which then leads into a stadium-seated auditorium. The ride is in 4-D, meaning it is a motion simulator with a 3D movie. The effects on the ride vary at different parks. Water spray, bubbles, wind, leg ticklers, smoke, and smells are usually found. The ride debuted in various Paramount Parks locations in May 2003, including Kings Island on May 10, 2003. The ride previously appeared at Camp Snoopy in Mall of America as a film rotation in the Mystery Mine Ride theatre. In 2006, The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera (renamed Yogi's Big Rescue at The Park at MOA) appeared at The Park at MOA as a film rotation in the Mystery Mine Ride theatre replacing SpongeBob SquarePants 3-D. In 2007, it was demolished to make way for the SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge roller coaster, as part of the theme park's transformation into Nickelodeon Universe. In 2008, SpongeBob SquarePants 4-D premiered alongside Nickelodeon Family Suites' 4D theatre. On April 19, 2013, Nickelodeon Family Suites premiered a successor titled SpongeBob SquarePants 4D: The Great Jelly Rescue. Italian, German, Turkish, and Canadian French dubs for the ride were also made. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
