Dreamworld Cinema, Movie theater in Gold Coast, Australia
Dreamworld Cinema was a movie theatre in Main Street at ground level inside the Dreamworld theme park at Coomera on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Its 315 seats step down below ground level, which lets the 21 by 11 metre screen fit inside the smaller building; guests entered at the top through a foyer. The building is modelled after the Emporium at Disney parks.
The cinema opened in January 2011 following renovations of the former IMAX Theatre and operated film screenings until February 2018. It was subsequently transformed into the Sky Voyager attraction.
The cinema screened diverse films including The Curse of Skull Rock during park hours and special presentations of Tron: Legacy and Megamind after regular operation times.
Visitors accessed the cinema through a ground-level foyer and it was included as part of regular Dreamworld admission. This allowed guests to combine movie entertainment with other theme park activities.
The 21 by 11 metre screen was hidden inside a building smaller than it, because the seating steps down below ground level and guests enter at the top through a foyer. The building itself copies the Emporium of the Disney parks, designed by Disneyland and Walt Disney World designers hired by John Longhurst.
