01
Site survey and venue planning
We review the venue dimensions, clear height, structure, access routes, utilities, guest circulation and operating area before confirming whether the selected configuration fits.
Turnkey project delivery
Flying Theater Installation Services and Turnkey Delivery Guide
Wehop supports turnkey flying theater and flying cinema installation services, from site survey and engineering coordination through screen, projection, audio, control-system installation, commissioning and operator handover.
Installation workflow
From site data to a working attraction
The sequence below is a practical project framework based on the supplied installation material. Scope, drawings, responsibilities and timing are confirmed for each venue and equipment configuration.
02
Equipment and system selection
The project scope is matched to capacity, budget, screen format and expected visitor experience, including projection, audio, motion seating, show control and effects.
03
Construction drawings and coordination
The engineering package coordinates screen position, projector points, speaker layout, seat arrangement, electrical routes, service clearances and technical zones with the venue team.
Review venue layout requirements
04
Dome or bowl-screen installation
The screen structure and panels are assembled and fixed according to the approved drawings. The team checks alignment, surface flatness, seams and structural stability before projection setup.
05
Projection, audio and control installation
Projectors are positioned for full screen coverage, with service space and ventilation reserved. Audio channels, media servers, control consoles and system connections are installed and labelled.
06
Integration, calibration and handover
The complete system is tested for image quality, audio synchronization, motion-seat trajectories, control response and effects coordination. The handover plan includes operator guidance when included in the project scope.
Review project cost factorsPlanning reference
Typical production, shipping and installation timeline
These are planning references for a standard indoor dome or bowl-screen project. Some work can overlap, while transport, local approvals and venue readiness can change the final opening date.
Production
20–25 days
Standard production planning window after the equipment scope is confirmed.
Sea freight
Reserve at least 30 days
Actual transit time depends on the destination country, port and customs conditions.
Construction drawings
2–3 days
Wehop prepares the project drawings after receiving the required venue information.
Room construction and decoration
Usually about 10 days
Customer-side work; the actual duration depends on local construction conditions.
Equipment installation
5 days
Typical for standard indoor dome and bowl-screen flying theaters once the venue is ready.
Testing and commissioning
2 days
System integration, playback checks and operating handover preparation.
Outdoor container flying theater
3–5 days
The container format has a different installation sequence and can be assembled faster.
Before the engineering review
Information the venue should prepare
Accurate site information helps the team evaluate fit, access and system requirements before final equipment selection. Local approvals and building works remain subject to the venue, landlord and local authorities.
- Measured floor plan with length, width and clear height
- Columns, beams, doors, emergency exits and loading route
- Floor and structural information for equipment loads
- Electrical supply, HVAC and heat-rejection conditions
- Fire-safety, accessibility and local building requirements
- Target capacity, visitor flow and operating schedule
- Preferred content, effects and opening-date objectives
Scope boundary
Customer and Wehop responsibilities
Clear responsibility boundaries reduce installation delays. The final scope, fees and exclusions should be recorded in the quotation and service agreement.
Customer provides
- Complete the room construction and decoration according to the approved drawings
- Provide stairs and platforms when they are not included in the order
- Arrange four general laborers and one or two electricians during the installation stage
- Provide the necessary local tools and safe working conditions
- Coordinate local civil works, electrical, fire-safety and construction requirements
Wehop provides
- Provide one or two professional engineers for paid on-site installation guidance when included in the service agreement
- Support system commissioning and integration after the equipment is installed
- Provide one day of operator training covering operation, cashier and backend functions, troubleshooting, software upgrades and film updates
- Provide operation and daily maintenance documentation at handover
Commissioning and handover
Acceptance, training and handover
The project handover is completed after the system is commissioned and the agreed acceptance checks are recorded. Operators receive one day of practical training and the operating documentation listed below.
- All film playback programs run normally
- The equipment has no obvious external damage
- The attraction passes a full-load test with 30 minutes of normal operation
Technical review
- • Screen or dome surface alignment and projection coverage
- • Projector focus, brightness, colour uniformity and blending
- • Audio channel balance and synchronization with content
- • Motion-seat movement limits, trajectory calibration and safety checks
- • Control-system signal switching and subsystem coordination
- • Operating guidance, maintenance access and open issues list
Operator training · 1 day
Startup and shutdown, cashier management, backend functions, common troubleshooting, software upgrades and film update downloads.
Handover documents: operation guide and daily maintenance guide.
Warranty and support
- • One-year warranty for the complete machine
- • 24-hour online remote support
- • A recommended spare-parts list supplied with the machine
- • Hardware parts can be shipped by DHL or another international express service; delivery is typically about five days after dispatch, subject to destination and customs
- • Travel, civil works, electrical work, fire protection and local construction are excluded unless separately agreed
