I was in Disney World about a year ago, and I went to an attraction called 
"Soarin'" at Epcot. It involves an I-MAX type of screen, but the seats are 
moved out into the air above the floor and close to the screen to make it a 
more immersive experience. Most of the film involves flying shots that seem 
quite real. I found myself a bit dizzy at times, and would occasionally look 
to my left or right at the other audience members to remind myself that I 
wasn't actually aloft. :-)
