johnsandywhite Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 B-) We are on the outskirts of Benidorm. Luckily we had no problems with the amount of rain that fell all around us. The last 2 days have been very warm and sunny. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syd Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 We were in Benidorm at the time and was flooded in the awning to a depth of 5 inches. Was at Calpe two days earlier and that place really took a bashing, half the promanade has gone and nearly every street leading down to the beach (they are steep) had a pile of wrecked cars at the bottom of them. Apart from that it was excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norma Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 We are going to stay with son at the end of October. He says the Imax theatre in Valencia is flooded and the projecter is under water... Something less for us to see. I guess the river is trying to get back into the bed it started off in! As for the lunch trip to Calpe, think that's been put on hold for a while, looks like the fish have taken themselves to the restaurants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek500 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 According to one of the local papers, the IMAX cinema is due to re-open on October 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norma Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Thanks Dave. That's sounds fantastic.. Look forward to seeing - especially as we think it is Omnivision rather than Imax - from the shape of the dome. And the weather will be much warmer than Edinburgh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnP Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 The Valencia Imax is probably an Omnidome and if it was yet to open the projector would be at the projection room floor level as it has to be for threading of film. The projection room may well be below ground level. When a film is being screened in a dome cinema the projector is run 40 feet vertically up a track so that it coinsides with the middle of the screen. If anyone is interested in IMAX or any other form of film presentation I suggest a visit to Futuroscope near Poitiers in France. A good day out.
