Fire park movie theater

Abstract

An entertainment complex and format in which a movie is augmented with pyrotechnics to add to the special effects action on the screen, with the pyrotechnics serving as actual plot points of the movie: e.g. a massive explosion engulfs the screen, at the exact same moment a concussion mortar and liquid fuel mortar and a debris/dust mortar, illuminated by flood lights, may blend seamlessly. Extending the onscreen action off screen, with on screen explosions augmented with genuine explosions and concussive forces safely experienced by the audience. Film makers may make two versions of a film: one with explosions, cannon fire and so on centered and no pyrotechnical enhancement, the other version with explosions and shots found on the edge of the screen. A script which uses second-to-second timing to control and synchronize the real world pyrotechnical action to the onscreen special effects action.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An entertainment comprising:
 a film screen having various areas including at least a front, a back, left, right, top and bottom edges and a middle area and a drive-in theater parking lot dimensioned and configured for automobiles;   a full-length feature film displayed upon the film screen, the full-length feature film having scenes including special effects, the special effects including a first special effect conflagration having a first set of characteristics;   a first pyrotechnic device operative to produce a first real conflagration matching the first set of characteristics;   a control device operative to ignite the first pyrotechnic device;   a first individual characteristic of the first set of characteristics being a first specific area of the film screen;   a second individual characteristic of the first set of characteristics being the type of the first special effect conflagration;   a third individual characteristic of the first set of characteristics being a first precise time in the full-length feature film at which the first special effect conflagration is displayed on the film screen;   a script, the script indicating the first precise time in the full-length feature film at which the first special effect conflagration is displayed on the film screen and further indicating ignition of the first pyrotechnic device;   whereby the first special effect conflagration displayed upon the screen is augmented by the first real conflagration, which matches its characteristics.   
     
     
         2 . The entertainment of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 in the full-length feature film, a second special effect conflagration having a second set of characteristics, a first individual characteristic of the second set of characteristics being a second specific area of the film screen, a second individual characteristic of the second set of characteristics being the type of conflagration of the second special effect conflagration, and a third individual characteristic of the second set of characteristics being a second precise time in the full-length feature film at which the second special effect conflagration is displayed on the film screen;   a second pyrotechnic device operative to produce a second real conflagration matching the second set of characteristics;   the control device further operative to ignite the second pyrotechnic device;   the script further indicating the second precise time in the full-length feature film at which the second special effect conflagration is displayed on the film screen and further indicating ignition of the second pyrotechnic device,   whereby the second special effect conflagration displayed upon the screen is augmented by the second real conflagration which matches its characteristics.   
     
     
         3 . The entertainment of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 the full-length feature film being shot and edited in two formats, a first format in which special effects are displayed in the middle area of the film screen for maximum onscreen impact of the special effects without the augmentation by the first and second real conflagrations, and a second format in which special effects are displayed near one of the edge parts of the film screen for the augmentation by the first and second real conflagrations.   
     
     
         4 . The entertainment of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a plot of the full-length feature film, the plot including a third conflagration, the third conflagration selected to match a previously known third set of characteristics of a third conflagration produced by a third pyrotechnic device.   
     
     
         5 . An entertainment complex comprising:
 a movie screen having a front, a back, left, right, top and bottom edges and a middle area;   a first fireball and debris zone disposed immediately behind the movie screen;   a second fireball and debris zone disposed immediately to the left, and slightly behind, the movie screen;   a third fireball and debris zone disposed immediately to the right, and slightly behind, the movie screen;   a crowd barrier immediately in front of the movie screen, the crowd barrier having a length, the crowd barrier dividing the entertainment complex into a first part having within it the movie screen and the first, second, and third fireball and debris zones and a second part having within it an audience space including a drive-in theater parking lot dimensioned and configured for automobiles;   a plurality of proximate launch locations disposed immediately adjacent to the crowd barrier at a plurality of locations along the length, the proximate launch locations disposed in the first part of the entertainment complex;   at least one “cakes and fronts” location disposed behind the three fireball zones in the first part of the entertainment complex;   at least one medium caliber shell launch area disposed behind the “cakes and fronts” location;   at least one large caliber shell launch area disposed behind the medium caliber shell launch area.   
     
     
         6 . The entertainment complex of  claim 5 , further comprising:
