How engineers build immersive realities that defy the laws of physics
In short: Explore the engineering secrets behind Futuroscope, a French theme park dedicated to technological imagination. This documentary reveals how teams develop revolutionary attractions like tornado simulators and Martian missions to create high-tech spectacles.
Since opening in 1987 in France's Vienne region, Futuroscope has hosted over 2 million visitors by constantly reinventing its attractions. The park recently invested €300 million into new experiences, including a water park launched in 2024.
The documentary features original interviews with engineers to explain the mechanics of world-class rides. Key highlights include 'Tornado Hunters,' which simulates the eye of a storm, and 'Objectif Mars,' where passengers experience a simulated blast off to the Red Planet.
