The Merlin Entertainments London Eye is already one of the best loved and most popular attractions in the capital and thanks to a £5 million bespoke cinematic addition you can now also enjoy a bird's eye view of the capital for free. The next generation of cinematic technology has been used to create the 4D cinema at The London Eye and the combination of stunning 3D views of the London landscape plus extra special effects is dazzlingly impressive.

Feel the wind in your hair
Giving audiences the chance to sample some special sensory effects throughout the film, the 4D cinema at The London Eye includes gentle breezes that blow through your hair, as well as snow that falls at your feet. Other special effects include shaking ground, bubbles and even different smells and aromas including the smell of the famous New Year's Eve fireworks that appear to drift from the images on screen.
4D Cinema at The London Eye
The specially designed cinema beside the iconic riverside attraction cost £5 million to construct, but all visitors taking a flight on the giant observation wheel can watch the four minute film beforehand as part of the standard admission ticket price. The film at The London Eye includes the first ever 3D aerial footage of the city giving a unique bird's eye view of St. Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, the Gherkin and even the top of the The London Eye.
The Story
Written and produced exclusively for the 4D cinema at The London Eye, the film was specially commissioned by Merlin Entertainments and will appeal to Londoners and tourists of any nationality. The 3D film follows the story of a little girl and her father as they take a flight on The London Eye. Viewers can join in with all the fun as the pair experience parties in the capsules, gaze at London from a bird's eye view, enjoy the New Year's Eve fireworks display at The London Eye, and watch as snow falls across the capital.
Top soundtrack
With music from Coldplay and Goldfrapp featuring in the film's soundtrack and accompanying all the 3D action, there's plenty to please all ages at the new attraction at The London Eye. Admission to the film is included in the standard ticket price, which means that visitors can get even more for their money in the run up to The London Eye's tenth birthday in 2010.
