‘Ultimate Polar Passport’ Delivers Chills, Thrills, and Soaring Heights

Experience Dreambox 360º, ‘Minus 5 Ice Bar’, and ‘High Roller Observation Wheel’ in one super-discounted package…

 

Before getting to the details of the “Ultimate Polar Passport”, VEGAS 411 will introduce you to the new Dreambox 360º attraction. If you simply cannot wait, feel free to scroll to the bottom. Just be sure to come back and enjoy our tour with host Noel Bowman.

When immersive experiences replaced large thrill rides as the Vegas attraction of choice, the options for guests exploded. Tech-based experiences require less real estate than enormous structures, simultaneously drawing traditional thrill-seekers and the gamer crowd. So now we have immersive museums, Area 15, and more adventures on the way.

Of course, the High Roller Observation Wheel, STRAT’s Big Shot, and New York NY‘s massive roller coaster continue to draw eyes upward. It’s unlikely that they’ll go anywhere, but tech seems to be the big new ticket. So, what if there was a chance to combine everything you love about chills, thrills, and heights into one affordable package? More on that in a bit.

Dreambox 360º is the latest in a series of immersive experiences to land on the Strip. While the recent proliferation of these attractions can be overwhelming, consumers have a built-in advantage. The desire to outdo each other means you’ll benefit from the latest that electronic wizardry can offer.

Noel Bowman (1923 Prohibition Bar, Ghost Stories, Legerdemain) is the visionary behind Dreambox 360º. A self-professed movie enthusiast, Bowman is hooked on 4DX, the sensory-filled Regal cinematic format at Red Rock Casino (we told you about it here).

Thrilled by the ability to draw viewers into the reality of thrilling tales, Bowman sought an intimate way to bring custom-created stories to the Strip. Of course, if there was a way to outdo 4DX, all the better. The result was Dreambox 360º, described as a “5DX Projection Theater”.

“Step into the future of entertainment with DREAMBOX 360º, the new projection lab filled with special effects. Dreambox 360º doesn’t just show you a movie. It puts you on the inside.”

If that tagline reminds you of Disney’s TRON, you’re onto something. So many of us imagine what it would be like to encounter another dimension, higher levels of being, virtual reality, and the like. Dreambox 360º makes it possible to briefly escape the outside world, even one as heightened as Sin City.

Noel Bowman demonstrates the capabilities of Dreambox 360 during a recent visit…

“We designed Dreambox 360º to push the boundaries of immersive entertainment,” says Bowman. “Our intimate venue allows every guest to be at the heart of the action, surrounded by stunning 360-degree visuals and enveloped by sensory effects. It’s an unforgettable journey that reimagines what’s possible on the Las Vegas Strip.”

Along with custom-created visuals and thunderous sound, Dreambox presentations are intensified by realistic physical effects. Fog, wind, mist, scents, heat, and power blasts combine with lasers and a synchronized LED light show to pull you deep into your adventure.

There are numerous experiences to select from. Choose one to fit the season, your mood, or a specific occasion:

  • The Weekend Trip – a psychedelic experience offering mind-altering, trippy projections, and 5DX effects to an EDM soundtrack.
  • Arctic Ghost Ship: A Quest in Search of the Lost Rum – a 15-minute animated adventure. Sip cocktails with Captain Flint McGreggor as you embark on a thrilling quest. Be surrounded by hi-res visuals and sound in a unique journey with 5DX effects like fog and wind.

  • ETERNITY – a jump-scare experience that drops you into a post-apocalyptic Las Vegas. Imagine being inside your favorite role-playing game. Zombies and other menaces are waiting to drag you into the darkness from all directions.
  • The Birthday Box – A trio of customizable templates allows you to design a personal experience for special occasions. Birthdays, anniversaries, wedding proposals, group events, romantic celebrations, milestone achievements, corporate functions…make Dreambox 360 entirely unique by setting your personal photos and videos to a custom soundtrack.

Special seasonal experiences encourage guests to return year-round. Last Halloween was the perfect time to launch ETERNITY‘s jump-scare theme. Then came a wintertime adventure that played through December 31st:

  • Christmas Dream -A young dreamer navigates an enchanting world of snowy landscapes, sparkling villages, and celestial wonders, all in pursuit of the true meaning of Christmas. Be surrounded by vivid, panoramic animations as a festive soundtrack fully immerses you in a dazzling holiday wonderland.

Dreambox 360º is now part of an incredible thrill package that Bowman calls the Ultimate Polar Passport. For only $109, guests receive a trio of adventures and several added perks:
