“I don’t think anywhere will come close to it, and I have built over 200 multiplexes around the world”
Boasting the most immersive IMAX screen in the country, its focus has been on creating an experience to exceed expectations. Visitors will also be treated to a diner, hang out zone, nine screens, and a £1m projector sitting in its own locked room.
He said: “Twenty to 30 years on from the multiplex cinema, people’s in-house experience has moved on, so if you don’t improve the out-of-house experience, you are not going to attract people out of their homes or compete with other leisure. This project has been seven years in the making in collaboration with an amazing council. I believe Blackpool deserves the best and I think this is the best cinema in the UK.
Designer Chris Morris has created a cross between the traditional American diner and a Blackpool seaside eatery with roller-skate lighting and Waltzer seating. He said: “We decided to go for a diner which is really fun with a sense of the seaside and the carnival, so the booths are like a classic Waltzer ride to bring a funfair feel and the design of the back rests is inspired by deck chairs.”
“All my chefs are local and we’ve all really moulded together and are really excited about the launch of the cinema.”
