- "Fort Worth Flyover" is the name of a short IMAX film created for the Omni Theater at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, the first one commissioned by a specific museum. The original "Fort Worth Flyover" debuted in 1983 as part of "The Legend of the Sleeping Panther", a multimedia presentation on the city's history that accompanied the Omni Theater's first IMAX feature, "Hail Columbia!" "Sleeping Panther" was retired at the end of Omni's "Hail Columbia!" engagement, but the helicopter ride feature was then at the beginning of "To Fly" and has shown on every Omni feature since 1984.
Everybody felt like they were about to fall off. It was hilarious.
Yeah, first time, you're like "OH MY GOD". All the other times it was so funny to wait because "they don't know what they're in for". I always could hear audible gasps from around the audience.
Core memory unlocked wow…so many field trips to this as a kid
They played this in the Omni at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History before EVERY movie and it was STUNNING! Until like 2005 or something!! This is only a small part of it, the complete version zooms all the way down down to the actual Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, and all the staff are waving from the rooftop. You would get chills/feel terrified watching it every single time on such a giant screen!
I remember!! Would be amazing to find the full video
Wow that takes me back to the good old days of going to the Omni with my family!!!!😄
Same! I used to love that and the science museum when I was a kid.
The helicoptor part at the beginning scared me when I was little though 😂
Here it is, in 2020, and every time I see footage from someone's drone this song pops into my head. Each and every time.
They were showing this when they opened in 1985. Still wows the audience, though!
Legendary music, legendary imagery
I hope they'll play this when the new Omni opens this fall
Omni theater vibes from the 1990s. Fort Worth has grown so much since this
My elementary school bully started crying like a baby when this played on our 3rd grade field trip. He was much nicer after that. Hope you're doing well out grown up Josh.
This brings me back to my field trip days from school when I watch this intro it's weird.
Mike D straight up throwback
enough to make a man cry, seen tornado alley 2-3 times in that thing, pretty sure what really got me into weather too. miss those times, wish i could really go back
I went there as a field trip once and I cried. They didn’t tell me what it was and I have a severe fear of Heights and motion sickness. That was a fun time...
It is amazing in the Omni/Imax you felt like you were really flying with motion in your stomach. See it at the Omni/Imax if you have a chance, it is also longer. I saw it at the Science Center as a kid and was blown away by how they figured out how the create that motion effect. Like other comments have said the high pitch angle of the theater and the motion on the screen and people were grabbing their seats to hold on. It was like a roller coaster inside.
I remember one like this, it was at night though
please tell me this is still played before and if it is, please never reshoot the film. this one is a classic.
They start with the old one but it fades into a newer version so the whole thing is a little longer.
Hmm I can see why people think the earth is round now ;) love the omni by the way, as a kid I saw someone fall out of their seat on the flyover.
Memories! We love the Omni!

@fortworthmuseum any chance yall could upload the original "Fort Worth Flyover"? Or can it be found anywhere else on the web? Thank you!
Im feeling homesick. The Fort Worth flyover II was really good. The helicopter peels up the skyscrapers. Then fighter jets at the end. I'm forced to live in the Midwest atm and I miss Texas so much.
always made me feel like i was falling out of those steep seats XD
I remember that. so awesome
This scared the crap out of me and my mom we sat at the very bottom of the theater
Where's the part at night?
I loved this!
Ahh yea the memories of me getting dizzy and falling down the stairs
The one shown in theaters used to have a nighttime part where the camera whipped between buildings.
They updated this in 1992
That was rad as Hell. When they changed it from this plain version. To the fighter jets climbing up skyscrapers. It was awesome.
Still love heading to the Omni theater with my wife for a quick little getaway to catch one of the films out there. Do you think you'll ever update the intro? I mean, it's a great intro still, so many years later, but the Ft Worth skyline has changed so much over the past 33 years.
The Philly one is the beyond pathetic. It was so lame I wanted my money back.
I could've sworn there was a group of people waving at the end
I think there's another version, I also remember a nighttime flying portion
I remember them giving the Nazi salute 😂
This intro always scared me since I went here when I was like 4 especially the part where they who the speakers😂
This used to scare me so bad... I think I'm mentally scarred.
*Nostalgia*
This used to scare the crap out of me lol
That’s the old Fort Worth some buildings left but love the intro do they still use it?
They are using a new one
The last time I saw it a few years ago it started with the original but then faded into another.
Any chance the museum would release or share the Fort Worth Flyover II that was used Ring of Fire?
Didn’t see one fort 😢
shame they didn't do it at high noon so no long shadows and you could see more
Lmao my childhood
What happened to the people waiving at the public?. Dallas is bigger than Fort Worth but I would rather live in Fort Worth by far. Anyway, I like Austin and Houston way more, more likely Houston because it's closer to Kemah and Galveston Island.
I wonder what year this flyover was ??
1985 or 84
Yall need to update yalls projector! The picture quality is crap.
Mitchell Blackburn you probably don’t realize that imax 70mm film has a resolution of approximately 12K so the projector upgrade would be kinda pricy.
Exactly. The projector is a powerhouse. 2022 phones cannot capture it. And oh yes irl the jet version will make you want to puke.
