2009 Season: Bursting with even more new attractions!

Backed by its innovative positioning in the tourism industry, Futuroscope is reaping the rewards of a recapture strategy begun 4 years ago, delivering a blend of innovation and renewed content (50% new attractions in 2 years).

Futuroscope gives its visitors surprising, hands-on experiences that mix exploration with thrills, all on one site. It is also a destination where visitors interact, that leaves them reinvigorated, where the quality of the welcome is paramount.

The new experiences in store for 2009 will take visitors into a new thrill-bound dimension when the gates open in February. They are taken on a journey along the time axis, between reality and make-believe, where they can explore the past, decipher the present and imagine the future.

New from February 2009

New - The Blue Note Mystery: Futuroscope chose Yves Pepin, renowned designer of large-format multimedia shows and artistic advisor for the ceremonies at the Beijing Olympics, to devise its spectacular new evening show The Blue Note Mystery. Every evening when darkness has fallen, the vast water stage in the centre of Futuroscope comes to life to tell the story of the popular, cool DJ Mike who is facing his virtual counterpart MP5 in a musical sound-off to find a very special tone: the blue note. When the blue note appears as a face of unimaginable purity only to disappear a moment later, our two musical duellists decide the only thing to do is to go searching again for the note that releases untold sonic sensations. Decibelle the petite flying fairy guides them through a multicoloured world of graphic waves, percussions and sound slides. This stunning musical fairy tale blends giant images on water screens, special effects, lasers, jets of flame and light to end the day at Futuroscope in a glorious extravaganza.

New - Cosmic Collisions: As they are sent speeding out from the past into the future in the Milky Way, visitors are greeted by natural phenomena taking place on the dome screen above their heads. As great lumps of rocks and ice collide, our Moon is born...

As an asteroid crashes into our planet 65 million years ago, life on Earth is changed forever when it causes the mass extinction of species like the dinosaurs. Scientists predict that, in two billion years from now, the Milky Way will be hit by Andromeda and the two will merge into a single galaxy. These cosmic collisions are a bridge between the origins and the evolution of the universe: they created the past, are affecting the present and will shape the future.

Models have been created using scientific images from NASA satellites to simulate cosmic phenomena in 3D. This spectacular film was made by the American Museum of Natural History and is shown on a dome screen with narration by French actor Lorant Deutsch.

New - Fly Me to the Moon: by Belgian director Ben Stassen is the first European feature-length animated movie made entirely in digital 3D. It takes a witty new look at the famous Apollo 11 flight that took man to the moon as three flies manage to sneak aboard the space capsule while astronauts Neil Armstrong, buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins are waiting for blast-off. With their outstandingly realistic effects, the giant-screen images in Fly Me to the Moon take spectators along for an incredible adventure with the three stowaways. Children in particular enjoy the fun and action-packed moments in Fly Me to the Moon.

New - EcoDingo: It's 2052 and the climate has got a lot warmer. Key global economic powers are holding a special race for flying vehicles to support of research into alternative methods of transport. Pilots wanting to take part have to follow one rule: use a pollution-free propulsion system.

EcoDingo uses computer-generated images synchronised to the seat movements, together with a sports comentary, to propel the hardiest visitors into a futuristic race. Strapped into their environment-friendly vessels, our pilots of the future must defy unexpected obstacles and the shenanigans of other competitors, all at breakneck speed. Laughter and extreme thrills are guaranteed in the all-new EcoDingo race.

New - When are met science: Could science be the source of beauty and art the fount of truth? Could science address feelings and art address reason? This open-air exhibition of 76 giant photos illustrates a series of analogies between fascinating scientific images and major masterpieces form the art world. Using invisible beauty from nature, mystery zones in the human body, remnants from history, and more, these images from the researchers at Inserm offer links with the works of the great painters, sculptors and architects to provide a shared artistic and scientific view of the world. Each visual association is astounding.

New - Max, escape to reality: This new, interactive live show reveals the magic of the revolutionary technology that is augmented reality. Max is a 3D rascal with an obsession: to escape his computer-generated world, cross over into the real world and meet the viewers. And he is sure that this new technology they call augmented reality can help him do it. As viewers watch him set out on four narrated adventures, Max shows that he can realise his dream. And to prove that it's true, visitors can speak and interact with him.

New - Molecular cuisine all year long: Visitors to Futuroscope are some of the first to discover the cuisine of the future. On the advice of Herve This, "gourmet chemist", physical chemist at the INRA agricultural research institute and researcher at the chemistry department of the College de France, and with the creative and innovative work of Futuroscope's artist-chefs, "molecular cuisine" has been part of Futuroscope's catering repertoire for three years. During those three years, chef Noel Gutrin and his teams at the Le Cristal restaurant have been creating sophisticated and astounding recipes with totally new textures and tastes for visitors to Futuroscope. This ground-breaking approach has been a resounding success, warmly greeted by the growing number of visitors coming to eat at the Le Cristal restaurant. Molecular cuisine was originally available from April to August, but in light of its success will now be on offer throughout the year.

New - Building the future, the eco-aware house: This 2150ft wooden house is a life-sized tool of discovery that reveals solutions for sustainable building and sustainable living. As we explore the three modules that make up the "house of tomorrow" (a living room/kitchen area, a bedroom/bathroom/dressing room area and a showroom area complete with bookshop), we have a chance to understand that technology, architecture, design and quality of life are compatible with environmental protection and energy efficiency.

The Future is Wild:

New interactive fun from April 2009

2008 saw Futuroscope create a new form of entertainment with The Future is Wild, delivering an immersive and interactive experience that takes image technology into the future. 2009 will see Futuroscope pushing the technological cursor further than ever before as it invents new interactive experiences between visitors and animals from the future.

Our explorers with their augmented-reality binoculars and sensor bracelets journey through the realistic scenery that portrays a series of possible future environments forged and moulded by climate change and movements of the Earth's crust. As they travel the four zones - across the dry, cold desert, through the swamp valley, along the bed of the vast Global Ocean and the floor of the tropical rainforest - our visitors watch as animals that could be inhabiting the planet in 5 million, 100 million or 200 million years from now burst into view in 3D, and then spring into action when they reach out to touch and interact with them. Reality and virtual reality combine to blur the obundaries that separate them.
