Back in Amsterdam your guide will give you your ticket for the ultimate 5D Flight Experience;
First, you get an overview of how the Netherlands was created: how it was made by people who weren’t deterred by all the water. Using mounds, dikes, windmills and polders, they succeeded in reclaiming land from the sea, creating this extraordinary country below sea level. The highpoint is The 5D Flight Experience: you feel like you’re really flying. To achieve this use the latest technology. You’ll be one of 30 people suspended under a huge domed screen, with your hands and feet dangling freely. Your seat will tilt during the nine-minute long film that guides you through a breathtaking journey along many beautiful places in our country. Atmospheric effects like wind, mist and smells, makes it feel as though you’re really flying through the air, crossing dikes and braving storms. Take your seat... fasten your seatbelt... and fly!
