The theater uses projection mapping on the interior walls of the theater, using a total of seven Christie 4K Boxer Cinema Projectors, surround sound audio, and physical effects such as water, wind, and articulating seats that pivot and tilt.

Kung Fu Panda: The Emperor’s Quest

The first attraction to show in the venue is Kung Fu Panda: The Emperor’s Quest, which is based on the Kung Fu Panda franchise. It takes place on the morning of The Emperor's Great Feast of Heroes, where dragon warrior Po the Panda embarks on a quest to deliver the Liquid of Limitless Power to the Palace. It includes "raging rapids, river pirates, awesome magic and, obviously, Kung Fu." The film was developed in collaboration with DreamWorks, but does not feature the original voice cast from Kung Fu Panda.
