LAS VEGAS – In a month, the Las Vegas Sphere will be turned into the verdant splendor of Emerald City.
And the vibrant mosaic of Munchkinland.
And the dusty amber plains of Kansas.
It’s “The Wizard of Oz” not just as a film, but an experience. A place where the 160,000 square feet of Sphere screen transports you into Dorothy Gale’s world and, through the use of 4D and haptics, immerses you in the feeling of being inside a tornado and makes you cower at the sight of those dastardly flying monkeys heading from the Wicked Witch’s lair to your seat.
The film, which opens Aug. 28 at the technologically sophisticated venue just off the Las Vegas Strip, was chosen for Sphere-i-fication because of its generation-spanning appeal.
