New Jersey residents don’t have to go far for an adventure, thanks to a thrilling, full-body virtual reality experience that landed at Paramus
Dream landscape, which opened on Nov. 19 at the Westfield Garden State Plaza AMC 16 Theater, combines the emotional power of Hollywood storytelling with the visceral excitement of grand theme park rides, the company said in a statement.
Pushing the limits of virtual reality, young and old (10 years and over) are invited to experience the magic of a complete sensory storytelling in realistic and interactive virtual worlds.
The new location marks the continued growth of Dreamscape’s business, as audiences return time and time again to enjoy the company’s hugely popular VR adventures.
“Our long-standing partnership with Dreamscape is in line with AMC Theaters’ mission to provide a first-class innovative experience to audiences around the world,†said Adam Aron, CEO and President of AMC Entertainment.
“We’re excited to bring Dreamscape Virtual Reality to the Greater New Jersey and New York metro area to Dreamscape at AMC Garden State, providing moviegoers with a futuristic adventure that takes entertainment to new heights. “
“Dreamscape was founded to be a place where people create lasting memories as they explore fantastic worlds with their friends and family,†said Walter Parkes, co-founder and CEO of Dreamscape.
“We believe in pushing the boundaries of creation and Dreamscape VR combines high-end technology with awesome and breathtaking content to fully engage our audience in the experience like never before. We look forward to opening our doors to Paramus for customers to enjoy our one-of-a-kind VR adventures.
Dreamscape’s Paramus site will feature three of the company’s most popular roaming and free-flight experiences, including Alien Zoo, Curse of the Lost Pearl: A Magic Projector Adventure, and DreamWorks Dragons: Flight Academy.
- Alien Zoo: Visitors travel to a larger-than-life intergalactic paradise where they come face to face with endangered alien creatures from across the galaxy. Upon arrival, travelers experience the exhilaration of being able to play ball with exotic frogs, pet majestic creatures, and, working together, even narrowly escape the galaxy’s largest predator.
- Curse of the Lost Pearl: A Magical Projector Adventure: Swipe across the screen to be part of a movie. Once inside this thrilling adventure, participants are challenged to unlock clues, escape treacherous traps, and work together to uncover the secret of The Lost Pearl.
- DreamWorks Dragons: Flight Academy: Riders climb onto their dragon and hold on tight as they set off on a dive, detour, and free-flight rescue mission to the Hidden World and beyond. It’s up to each teammate and their class of eight other novice dragon riders to save the day and save the village from the invaders, while trying not to set their virtual world on fire.
The new site at Westfield Garden State Plaza in Paramus marks Dreamscape’s continued expansion in the United States and internationally. The entertainment leader also operates at the Westfield Century City Mall in Los Angeles, the NorthPark Center in Dallas, the Easton Town Center in Columbus, Ohio, and the famous Mall of the Emirates in Dubai.
The company plans to deploy national and international sites.
