Dramatic N.Z. Experience
A Picton holiday is enhanced dramatically by including a visit to the
New Zealand Experience, a colourful building very difficult to overlook close to the inter-island ferry terminal, railway station and museum. The New Zealand Experience is an exciting multi-image show combining sound, light, movement and computer
technology to catch the colour and character of New Zealand.
Entertainment designed to fascinate the whole family, the show uses 23 separate projectors and a 13m by 3m screen together with fibre optics and hightechnology illusions. Geysers jet from the auditorium floor, smoke
drifts through the air and earthquakes rumble under the feet of the spectators. In the pre-show waiting area there are laser produced holograms, and an entertaining Pepper’s Ghost show in moving form. The only other centre where a Pepper’s show can be seen is at Disneyland’s Epcot Centre in Florida.
To complete the total experience is a spectacular film presentation on the tuatara. The largest population of this unique pre-historic creature is on Stephen’s Island on the northern tip of the Marlborough Sounds. The film was produced by the National Film Unit especially for the New Zealand Experience.
