Dream Big: Engineering Our World Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Shop Too callout - Ex Site Design by {algo+rhythm} Many sports activities at the Leisureplex at reasonable prices, swimming pool is good and the separate slides and lazy river are great fun for kids. Frozen Coke is a rare find and deserves a mention. Worth the drive from belfast just for the frozen Coke. Screening rooms are small so that means very quiet, undisturbed movies. As ever the tickets are too dear and the popcorn costs about £8 per kernel. But that's not unexpected. It's really rubbish, screen 10 has a loud air conditioning unit that ruins movies and gives you a headache. Also can be very cold. Also the sound in screen 13 was very low when I last went and I had to ask for it to be turned up. Unacceptable from a cinema that this needs done. When I complained about... Good facility, clean and bright but like alot of cinemas they seem to forget to advertise what films are about and assume that people know what they're going to see.
Went to Lisburn Omniplex to see a movie with my wife & adult daughter. I am an Omniplex member so was able to buy tickets easily online, at a 10% discount, and download them to my phone. Checking in was easy & we found the cinema to be warm, clean & tidy. We were in one of the larger auditoriums... We're just back from a trip to the cinema and we'd a brilliant time. It wasn't too busy, despite it being half term and best of all, the online system no longer charges you a booking fee. (This may have gone a while ago) but I didn't use it for that reason!!! Popcorn was lovely and theatre was cosily warm. Lisburn Omniplex has plenty of parking, great restaurants reasonably priced on site, coffee shops, bowling alley and swimming pool nearby. Cinema can be booked online, staff are friendly and seats very comfy. Only gripe - expensive snacks as per usualat cinemas! Booked online with the greatest of ease, didn't say whether to clock in at ticket desk with our printout or go direct to walk through!
The cinema was clean and comfy seating with plenty of room Plenty of screens, the big one is massive!! We are quite short and still have a decent view. Parking is good, though it can get very busy at popular times as there's a lot of restaurants around it.is expensive, but just the same as all other cinemas so no big surprise there. My daughter and I went for a meal and then the cinema. Had a lovely meal in Eds with great service. Done Eds meal deal offer which gave us discounted tickets to the cinema. Omniplex Cinemas is a cinema chain in Ireland set up in 1991 and operated by Paul Anderson. It operates cinemas throughout Ireland and Northern Ireland. Omniplex has started a €14.5m investment and renovation in a number of its cinemas including the rolling out across Ireland of its large screen format OmniplexMAXX. Omniplex owns 200 screens and 25?cinemas, with 12 in the Republic of Ireland and 13 cinemas in Northern Ireland. The Anderson family have a long history in the film and cinema business dating back to 1948 when Kevin Anderson (Paul Anderson's father now retired) first started a film distribution business.
The first films acquired were The Hills of Donegal and The Rose of Tralee, which were distributed to cinemas across Ireland. The first cinema was purchased in Lucan in 1955, where company Chairman and Managing Director Paul Anderson started working at 8 years old before officially entering the business at 18. The Andersons continued to acquire, redevelop and sell cinemas across Ireland over the subsequent decades. Their biggest acquisition came when they bought the Rank Cinemas portfolio in 1988, which included Dublin's flagship Savoy cinema and The Screen cinema, which the Andersons jointly owned as part of the Dublin Cinema Group until 2013. The origins of Omniplex lie with the evolution of multiplex cinemas in the early 1990s. The first cinema to be branded an Omniplex was in Santry (now IMC). Since then Omniplex have expanded in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, there are 23 Omniplex cinemas currently operating. This includes the 13 screen Cork Omniplex which opened in 2005 and the Rathmines Omniplex which completed in 2014 following a 15-year campaign to open cinemas in The Swan SC, which the Andersons acquired in 1999.
The company announced the acquisition of the Quayside cinema in Balbriggan, which was bought from NAMA and refurbished at a cost of €1.5m. As well as screening films Omniplex cinemas also show live events that are broadcast from around the world. This includes weekly live show from New York's Met Opera, The Bolshoi Ballet and music concerts. Omniplex are reported to sell 5.5m cinema tickets per year. It May 2015 it was announced that Omniplex had bought the Gaiety Cinema Group (GCG) in an €8m deal. GCG owned two cinemas in Sligo and Arklow, in the Bridgewater Shopping Centre[4][5] The OmniplexMAXX is the next generation of giant format cinemas screens being rolled out across Omniplex’s cinemas. This includes the OmniplexMAXX in Antrim which, at 23 metres wide, is Ireland’s widest cinema screen. Other OmniplexMAXX screens have opening in Mahon, Cork, Limerick, Waterford and Rathmines, which opened in 2014 with the Irish premier of The Inbetweeners 2.[6] New OmniplexMAXX screens are planned in Dundonald and Dundalk.
The auditoriums include custom-designed leather reclining armchairs as standard, HD digital projection and MasterImage 3D. OmniplexMAXX will also introduce next generation audio format to deliver an immersive 3D sound experience using a three-dimensional Barco Auro 11.1 channel/speaker layout, the only cinema company in Ireland with access to this sound system. In August 2015 Omniplex opened the first digital private screen in Dublin in their Rathmines cinema. Dubbed the 'secret screen' it is not part of the cinema's public schedule and is only available for private hire. Its use is a closely guarded company secret. In 2015 Omniplex launched OmniPark, the new leisure park brand covering three of the parks that company owns, on which it has cinemas. Omniparks are located in Dundonald, Craigavon and Bangor. In 2015 Omniplex confirmed it was “fully committed” to the extensive cinema and Omnipark development in Omagh, Northern Ireland [9] The Andersons were formerly partners in the Ward Anderson cinema group.
