Wild Ocean 3D
Show Times |
Each year an unbelievable feeding frenzy takes place in the oceans of South Africa as billions of sardines migrate up the Kwazulu-Natal Coast. Wild Ocean 3D captures spectacular breaching whales, feeding sharks, diving gannets, and massive bait balls inside and up close on the giant screen.

Ring of Fire takes you inside the immense natural force of the great circle of volcanoes and seismic activity that rings the Pacific Ocean to view the spectacular volcanic eruptions of Mount St. Helens in the U.S., Navidad in Chile, Sakurajima in Japan, and Mount Merapi in Indonesia. Extensive aerial photography and computer animation help tell the story of the geologic forces that impact the ring, and intimate portraits introduce you to the varied people and cultures who coexist within the Ring of Fire.
