History
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 returned due to popular demand.
In 1992, the museum produced an updated version, Fort Worth Flyover II, directed by Ben Shedd; this version continues to be shown before Omni features. This version was shot with the assistance of the CareFlite air ambulance service, using Bell helicopters.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of this country was made largely by people who wanted to be left alone. Those who could not thrive when left to themselves never felt at ease in America.”
