The concept

An empty soundstage comes to life through the magic of film tricks. On a calm day, New York harbour looks peaceful. Then a severe hurricane sweeps over the city. And you are right in the middle of it. The show is presented by director Steven Spielberg.

The Experience

The wind picks up, the rain comes at you from the sea and debris flies through the air. Fire plays a part too. It is not a ride: you stand in the room and watch the set change around you. Impressive if you want to see how films are made.
