Default Possible New Theater Design for Lake Sumter

This is a theater in an archipelago in the South Pacific. The patrons sit on cushions on floating rafts. The rafts are secured together then anchored to the ocean floor. The screen and projection equipment are on stable structures. Patrons can hear the ocean sounds along with the picture sound. Must make a peaceful night.

Everybody's remarks are funny........but then I got to thinking that this would be just so cool.

So many good films can be shown here with added realizm. Titanic, Jaws, 20,000 Leagues Beneath the Sea. But you had better watch your step on your way to the concession stand. Glub, glub.

Anybody have a life vest?

I find this intriguing. But my first thought was the gators.

All I could think about is, what do you do if you have to go to the bathroom? With all that water around and listening to the constant waves could be pure torture for aging bladders! I'd never make it through a full length movie! :
