True, but you must pay the park admission fee which is rapidly nearing
$30 to get to see it.  Syufy's would be outside the park.

Perhaps this will signal the end of the chicken-and-egg problem of not
enough 3-D films because there aren't enough 3-D theatres because there
aren't enough 3-D films to show in the not enough 3-D theatres...
