Go Away Green

The color is supposed to blend in with the environment, and redirect the focus of visitors towards the attractions. It has been compared to military camouflage like Olive Drab. The door to the private Club 33 is painted in Go Away Green, as are most of the fences, lamp posts, loudspeakers and lighting equipment around Disneyland. At the Pixie Hollow meet and greet, a large block of concrete that is the last remaining footprint of the Monsanto House of the Future has been painted with Go Away Green, and is sometimes covered with camouflage netting. The staff painted it with their patented "Go Away Green" so it wouldn't be noticed. The Soarin' Around the World flying theater was repainted in Go Away Green in 2015 to make the large hall less noticeable. A grey variant called "no-see-um-grey" also exists, ...

Flight Of The Hippogriff

It is present at Islands of Adventure in Universal Orlando Resort, Universal Studios Japan, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Beijing.

Flying Theater
A Flying Theater is a themed entertainment technology and adjacent show style. It is a type of simulator ride which consists of one or several motion systems and a large screen. This type of attraction is also known as Panoramic Flying Theaters. The illusion of flight is created through motion that is synchronized with a film.

The other version uses a motion system-based platform with a dome-projection or a large curved screen. Platform-based Flying Theaters allow 2 different forms of experience: either a traditional seated version and a version where guests are standing on the platform, leaning forward into body-supports to create a ‚fly-like-superman‘-feeling.
