MAY 31, 2008
The Animal Planet Expo, now in its 11th year, started a 2008 summer tour near Philadelphia at the end of May. This event enchants and entertains people nationwide. It is a popular outing for animal lovers!
In addition to live animal presentations, fun games for kids and a “pet den,” there is an attraction called the “HD Dome.” This is a custom 30 ft. event dome with a cover that is comprised of three fabric layers. The outer cover is grey event lite fabric sewn onto a layer of black event lite fabric, creating a double skin that blocks out daytime sunlight.
Inside the dome, covering the interior geodesic frame, is a separate event lite liner that was digitally printed with an African savannah scene. The liner is attached to the frame from the inside so that the metal struts are hidden, allowing the image to aesthetically dominate the space.
The HD Dome features HDTVs, providing visitors with the opportunity to experience high-definition programming from Discovery’s family of HD networks.
