the views and opinions of theme park university staff are not associated with any themed entertainment company and are clearly our own . please don ' t sue us .
fortunately , the ear i happened to snag was that of landmark ceo tony christopher , who not only has had a major hand in the creation of many of the company’s most iconic rides , but is a choreographer , producer and stage performer in his own right . christopher is , by any measure , a showman , and that’s what he wants to put on for everyone with landmark entertainment’s view of the vr future : the greatest show anyone has ever seen .
the announcement of an agreement between ikonic and the shiyan - based taichi lake group is only the first step in the development of what the two companies are calling the largest theme park and resort in china .
however , landmark’s virtual world’s fair isn’t going to launch anytime soon . the company plans to launch the platform in 2017 , likely during the second half of that year . that’s because it will take some time to build the environment — christopher said that landmark plans to have up to 100 pavilions available at launch . landmark also wants to wait until vr headsets like the oculus rift , which isn’t going to ship until early next year , are going to be widely available .
“it will all be a software experience , ” christopher explained , “so children can do what they’re used to doing : engaging with the exhibitory and magical entertainment experiences . ”
in addition to theme parks , we cover anything in the world of themed entertainment from dinner shows to immersive theater , haunted attractions to miniature golf and much much more .

a ukraine - based development company has revealed plans for a an interactive entertainment attraction that works with a virtual reality headset and a gamepad to deliver a full - motion interactive experience .
pulling all of that off in two years is a very ambitious undertaking , even for a company that has been building entertainment experiences for 35 years . christopher said that he has a team of 30 working on its virtual reality projects , and that landmark is looking to partner with tech companies on the creation of both projects . the company is in the process of finalizing a round of funding for its new vr subsidiary , he added . landmark has also announced that it is building an on - location vr experience in china .
but landmark’s plans go a lot further , said christopher . the company is also looking to launch something christopher vaguely compared to virtual theme parks that can be visited from everywhere in the world via vr , and is even looking to eventually launch a kind of “daily utility” — meaning some kind of service or entertainment experience people would want to use every day .
gg : six flags had decided they needed to be in the new “uec” ( “urban entertainment center” ) business to diversify out from being simply “ride parks . ” they had done a ton of studies and decided that they would create new “entertainment centers” in the heart of cities , offering families a new kind of experience , but one that built upon the six flags brand . era ( economic research associates ) had done a report looking at potential sites throughout the country and one among them stood out : the baltimore power plan , which was located on the newly redeveloped inner harbor , which had something like 12 , 000 , 000 annual visits . the concept was to create an urban entertainment complex that would offer food , retail and entertainment experiences .
landmark ' s virtual world ' s fair has been developed in conjunction with the pavilion of me™ ( p . o . m . ™ ) concept , a daily - use in - home entertainment portal that reimagines everyday activities such as checking social media , online shopping , watching film and tv content , video chat , and playing video games into virtual reality experiences .
landmark entertainment may sound like an unlikely company to get into virtual reality , but for christopher , it’s only a continuation of what his team has been doing for the past decades . landmark has built a number of theme park attractions for universal studios and other clients , using 3 - d projections and sensory experiences to make audiences believe they were really in the middle of the action for rides like “terminator 2 : 3 - d . ” “we were doing virtual reality in the hardest way , ” said christopher during an interview with variety earlier this year .

the long - term goal for the group is to have anywhere from 20 to 30 l . i . v . e . centres established around the world , each attracting as many as five million visitors annually , per christopher ' s estimate .
the first center , which plans to break ground in china in the next 12 - 18 months with the help of a chinese investor group , will include an interactive museum , a virtual zoo , a virtual aquarium , a digital art gallery , a live entertainment stage , an immersive movie theater , and themed experience retail spaces . there’s no word yet on what specific headsets or systems they have in mind for these vr / ar spaces .
in entertainment development over the company ' s history . this wealth of experience has positioned landmark perfectly for its foray into virtual reality , taking audiences from the world ' s greatest physical attractions into the world ' s first virtual destinations ; a journey into immersive , entertaining , visually and intellectually stimulating virtual destinations filled with endless wonder , surprise and adventure . for more information , visit :
landmark entertainment is a firm that you may not know by name , but you know by its mark . it’s the disney alumni company behind a huge number of interactive , immersive , and media spanning rides , like the jurassic park experience at universal studios . it also created the james bond 007 ride at paramount parks , and built star trek : the experience for the las vegas hilton .
while landmark continues to advance its own vr intellectual property and original content projects , the company will also serve as a virtual reality creative content studio for brands looking to create virtual reality stories .
that’s why christopher was excited when vr technology celebrated a comeback in the last few years , and finally looked like it could reach consumers soon . landmark started to work on the idea of virtual theme parks in 2014 , and raised an undisclosed amount of money from a group of chinese investors at the beginning of 2014 . three months later , news broke that facebook was acquiring oculus for $ 2 billion , and christopher knew that he was on the right track .
one of the first projects that landmark is going to launch is still very much in the spirit of the entertainment attractions it has been building for hotels and shopping destinations around the world : l . i . v . e . centers , as the company is calling them , will be built for shopping malls in china , and possibly one day other countries as well . consumers will be able to visit these places , and then use vr goggles to step into virtual zoos , aquariums and museums . landmark and its chinese partners want to start construction for these centers within the next 12 to 18 months .
said landmark president and ceo tony christopher of the vision :
we used our expertise in the theme park and live entertainment space to create a virtual destination for all ages . this is a place where you’ll spend from moments to hours each time you visit , and return to repeatedly , either solo or with your friends and family in tow , just as you would a real - world theme park . ”
deborah stepaniak specializes in research of national construction design development projects , as well as , information gathering of ongoing interior design trends and brand development with more than 20 years of experience in the communications & entertainment field .
“vr goes beyond social , beyond education and beyond even entertainment , ” christopher says . “in the virtual world’s fair , there’s going to be a place you can go that celebrates the world and fixes its problems . ”
the l . i . v . e . centre concept includes an interactive museum , a virtual zoo and aquarium , a digital art gallery , a live entertainment stage , immersive movie theater and themed - experience retail .
well , i grew up in santa barbara , and i was really involved with the arts program there . theater , dance , singing , you know all that kind of stuff . and it was really my calling at an early age . but i loved several different things . i loved jack kirby in comics , i loved bob fosse in theater , and then of course walt disney . those are my three icons . when i graduated high school , i went to cal arts . fast forward a bit , i graduated on friday and on saturday i’m flying to disney world . and i got hired by disney . but i was there for only two years because it was this sort of ‘sleepy disney’ , before katzenberg and wells came . everything that was going on there was sort of old fashioned . so i left and , with a group of friends from disney , formed landmark entertainment group in 1980 . but in 1980 , there wasn’t even a fax machine . and our thing was ‘technology to meet the needs of creating entertainment . ’ since then , we’ve created a lot of universal ' s ‘high - tech attractions’ . we ' ve also created attractions for six flags and knotts berry farm .
“landmark has had tremendous success at creating world - class unique attractions that millions of people have flocked to and we thought they would be the best partner to help us reinvent the library , ” gretsas said .

there was a real whiff of disney that wafts its way down the copper wires separating us , as christopher spoke fondly about the ‘casting choices’ being made as landmark developed its vr division into a virtual reality company .
the sensorum – setting up the grand finale sequence in eureka , california which included a parade with antique automobiles , a cast of hundreds , a marching brass band – and all in full period costume . very ambitious but it provided a spectacular finale to the show . copyright the goddard group
through the ages , a nation ' s march towards development has been marked by spectacular infrastructure development projects . in fact , a nation has often announced its entry into the hallowed league of developed nations through landmark buildings .
both the virtual world’s fair and the pavilion of me ( pom for short ) are described as portals ; the former is a digital theme park , the latter a personal entertainment complex . pom is slated to arrive first in the fall of 2016 , after the launch dates of oculus , sony , and valve’s high - end headsets — landmark hasn’t officially announced launch platforms , but christopher says there’s interest from sony and oculus . right now , landmark is showing off only a video of an early build , a series of separate
rooms
for activities like watching movies , holding skype calls , lounging with friends , and looking through virtual versions of your old - fashioned photographs .
it is a matter of great pride for all of us at arl that we are making a substantial and aesthetic contribution to revolutionizing the landscape of the national capital region . our group stands poised at the cutting - edge of development in realty spaces including workspaces , hospitality , residence / service apartments and entertainment . we are in the process of building world standards in corporate spaces with state - of - the - art it parks and sez ' s and our commercial complexes and hospitality ventures are setting the benchmarks for excellence in the region .
