This theatre actually had Cinemecanica V8 projectors not V5s. Houses 3, 4, 5 and 6 had Dolby CP50 sound systems and houses 1, 2, 7, and 8 had Smart Sound systems.

This theatre actually had Cinemecanica V5 projectors not V8s. The V5s were belt driven and the V8s are oil bath gear driven. Also, the V5s only could do 35mm and the V8s could do 35 and 70mm film. The booths 1 and 3 were for the large houses and had Dolby CP50 processors in them. Booth 2 had Smart sound systems and booth 4 (3.5 actually) had ultra*sound sound systems. This booth also had strong simplex 35 projectors. You could also interlock theatres 1-6 together or any combination of them. theatre 2 had a silver screen. theatres 7 and 8 were added on and used to be a daycare facility before it was torn down to add these two screens.
