Futuroscope, a future-themed amusement park in France, opened in 1987 amid the high-tech hype of the ’80s. Within 10 years it had 3D movie theatres, and now offers 4D and even holographic entertainment. Futuroscope’s exhibits all look to what’s next, speculating about technologies, foods, and even animals that may be around in the years to come. The park’s rides are future-themed as well, such as “Dances With Robots,” in which visitors strap into giant, mobile robot arms on an enormous dance floor. Outside is the “Aerobar,” a rotating observatory with no walls or windows that lifts visitors 150 feet straight up into the air and serves drinks. 📸: Photo by Denis Laming.
