Frequently asked questions

Who are the main Immersive Dome Attraction manufacturers & suppliers?

We track 36 companies supplying Immersive Dome Attraction, including project: syntropy, RSA Cosmos, ZEISS Planetariums, The Elumenati and Intamin. The largest clusters are in United States (7), Germany (4), China (4) and France (3). 28 of them have documented reference installations, which is usually the best shortlist filter.

How much space is needed for a Immersive Dome Attraction?

27 of the 29 products in this category publish a footprint. Examples: RSA Cosmos – LED Dome System — 7-28m dome; ZEISS Planetariums – SKYMASTER ZKP 4 LED — 6-15m dome; Betop – 360 Extreme Flying Ball — 400 m²; 12 m high. Space requirements vary with layout and theming, so treat published figures as a starting envelope and confirm with the supplier.

What throughput or capacity can Immersive Dome Attraction products achieve?

21 products publish a capacity figure. Examples: Broadwell – Projection Air Dome — Venue-dependent; UNIGIN – Customized Dome Screen — Venue-dependent; Huss Park Attractions – Explorer — 70 passengers; 1,400 pph. Throughput depends on vehicle count, dispatch interval and operations, so compare like with like.

Which Immersive Dome Attraction suppliers have reference installations?

28 of the 36 suppliers have documented installations on file, 316 in total — for example project: syntropy (Qin Palace Flying Theatre (flyDome) – Hengdian World Studios, China (2021)), RSA Cosmos (Suzhou Science and Technology Museum LED Dome Planetarium – Suzhou, China (2026)) and ZEISS Planetariums (Deutsches Museum Planetarium – Munich, Germany (1925)). Ask the database for installations in a market comparable to yours.

What counts as a Immersive Dome Attraction, and what is classified elsewhere?

A media-based attraction (MBA) where the audience sits inside a projection dome or fully surrounding screen environment — the image wraps around the guests. Seat hardware does not split the vertical: static seats, dynamic seats, and 3-DOF or 6-DOF motion platforms under the dome all belong here. Also covers walk-in interactive projection environments. Not included here: Suspended-seat flight position in front of a screen → Flying Theater. Flat/curved-screen motion cinema → 4D Cinema & Motion Theater. Headset-based VR → VR & Immersive Experience.

How do I shortlist a Immersive Dome Attraction supplier?

Start from your venue type, available space and target audience, then filter by reference installations in a comparable market. Ask the database: describe your project and it returns the Immersive Dome Attraction suppliers and products that fit, with specs and reference projects.
