Author Topic: What projector is that? Dave Cutler Master Film Handler Posts: 277 From: Centennial, CO Registered: Jun 2000 posted 08-12-2005 07:44 PM                     quote: Adam Martin In the US, there are currently 131 15/70 theaters operating or being built. 125 are Imax, three are CDC and three are Iwerks (maintained by CDC since Iwerks kind of gave up). Adam, What are the three Iwerks locations? I used to work at the Kansas City location, so I was curious.  |  IP: Logged Joseph L.

There's also a CDC 1570 system in Iwerks' screening room in Burbank.

I thought the Omnidome (the Omniplex dome in OKC) was an Omnimax system... or at least, I thought it used to be. Any truth to that?  |  IP: Logged Joseph L. Kleiman Master Film Handler Posts: 380 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 08-31-2005 11:41 PM                     Nope. Omnidome has always been an Iwerks branded CDC 1570 system. Opened Jan. 16, 2000. Science Spectrum in Lubbock was originally an IMAX system. It switched to a CDC system Dec 25, 2003.  |  IP: Logged
