I remember going to Billings, MT and seeing "Earthquake" in the Cine 3 theatre there (at the time, operated by Carisch Theatres, I think). I was underwhelmed by it. The sensurround sounds were obviously just a rumble effect and not really keyed the the onscreen action, outside of turning on and off at the appropriate times.

I watched The Little Mermaid in 70mm at the City Cinemas Gramercy theater on 23rd Street, just a short walk from School of Visual Arts' main building in Manhattan. Some of the animation was very impressive. I really liked the sequence where Ursula, the Sea Witch took Ariel's voice. I watched 70mm prints of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Fantasia at the same theater. The venue is no longer there.

We've got Sensurround drivers kicking around in storage somewhere in our building... really should get them out and hook them up without telling anybody [evil]

It is no longer a movie theatre, but is a concert venue run by Live Nation.

Bobby - you need to get yourself to Disney World and see "Voyage of the Little Mermaid" in Hollywood Studios. You'll probably want to just go in the morning and stay all day, so you can repeatedly gaze at the (non-animated) title character.

Back on topic, that was the movie that restored my faith in Disney animation...then "Beauty and the Beast" came later and cemented it. (Then still later, "Home on the Range" ruined it, temporarily.)
