- This is the Showscan film "Dracula's Haunted Castle" (HDP-2256) featuring CG produced with SGI computers and stored on a Sony high-definition 12" HDVS videodisc produced in very limited numbers.
You've been invited on a "special tour" of Count Dracula's castle. Luckily, you have a...*ahem*...friendly tour guide (Arthur Malet). Just remember to not touch anything and make sure that, whatever you do, you don't stay out past midnight...
Showscan Film Corporation was a company and a film process. The Showscan process modified camera & film projectors and ran them at 60fps instead of the usual 24fps, making viewers feel more engaged with the viewing experience. While the earliest films made by Showscan were purely meant for viewing, later "attractions" were small rides with powered seats and chairs which would move the viewer in coordination with the events on screen. Needless to say, the 60fps process made the high-definition HDVS disc format a prime candidate for the easy transportation and set-up of Showscan attractions. No longer would a huge, very expensive, modified 70mm camera with large reels need to be moved from location to location.
While Showscan won many awards for many of their releases, they were mostly known for their first hit, "Street Luge," and their later collaborations with George Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic.
Produced by the Belgian animation group nWave Studios.
Enjoy this hauntingly classic attraction!

This was played back on a Sony HDL-2000 Videodisc player which outputs analog component (1035i) video. Uploaded in upscaled 4K ProRes for extra clarity!
The audio track is a mono cue track which has been duplicated across both channels. The right audio track on the disc contains a data signal... I'm assuming it's to control the original pneumatic chairs.
For more information about the 12" LaserDisc-like high-definition "HDVS" disc format that this footage was stored on, please see one of my other HDVS uploads from my HDVS playlist here: • World's Oldest High-De...

I rode this ride in 1997 at Buffalo Bill's casino in Primm Nevada. Several times with an all day wristband. I loved it. I haven't seen it since. Thanks very much for uploading it.
Thanks for uploading this in excellent quality.
"On February 18, 2019, it was officially announced on the production company nWave Studios' Twitter feed that this Showscan ride film is no longer available in their catalog, as the original files are now corrupted and can no longer be played."
Thanks for the kind words and for sharing the quote! I had no idea about that; I didn't even know nWave was involved with the production.
I've found the original Twitter quote, and I've updated the description to properly credit them.
I mean...imagine seeing this in 1996... It's not too bad in 2022!
This is AWESOME!
Where do you find these HDVS clips? I would love to see more
damn, pretty high quailty for 1996 cgi
It must seem so for people not working in that trade...or having a witnessed a large portion of CGI development.
State-of-the-art
Thank you!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing.
This channel keeps amazing me with the awesome obscure content!
It really does - or, reely does! - I think as a channel it's too hard to explain to others. You either 'get' why this is awesome, or you don't.
Wow thats a real treasure here, where did you found those HDVS disc, maybe they try to build that as a substitute of the real showscan film process for making low cost dynamic ride at fun fair... 🙄
Yes! Another earliest High Definition quality video.
There was high definition quality before the 2000s. Right?
there was even analog hd in late 80s

I know.
The first HD Broadcasts in the US were in 1997/1998, Japan had it in the early 90s though with MUSE.
@@startedtech was it analog or mpeg2 in us?
@@r4zi3lgintoro65 MPEG 2, look up 'WRAL first HD broadcast', should find some more information on it.
I remember there was a Robocop ride similar to this in the early 90s. It’s probably from the same developers. Do you have a recording of it?
@reely interesting - what Country are you in and how do you even find this stuff?!
Do you have a SONY HDL-5800? Plays HDVS video discs in caddy format. The video disc media are WHD-3AAD and WHD-3ALO.
Unfortunately, I currently do not, but I am actively looking for one!
