The Show

SEE THE TRAILER

Guests experience

Miracle on a state of-the-art motion platform that transports you directly into the story.

Miracle Motion Platform

Nearly all

of Miracle's screen time is composed of
CG, or Computer Generated Imagery.
In fact, there is only one 4-second shot
in Miracle that does not contain some level
of CG. Beginning with this tree, artists
spent nearly three years creating the
complex envirnoments and characters
that make up the Miracle attraction.

The Manger

shot, titled "Source of all Light" was one of the most important
and detailed sequences designed for the film. An environment
consisting of 31 buildings, various vegetation, and effects
such as fire was modeled for this one monumental shot.

Miracle's Bridge

shot was one of the very first shots developed for the film. It
must be seen in 3D to be truly appreciated! This shot appears
in Miracle's desert sequence and represents part of Mary and
Joseph's grueling journey toward Bethlehem.

The Forest

is a sweeping and breathtaking "otherworldly" shot that
appears at the beginning of the film, and is the first shot
that gives guests the full 4D Miracle experience.

The Village

shot is one of the longest shots in the film. Including all render
passes for both the right and left views, a total of 17,440
frames were rendered for this critical sequence of the
Miracle attraction.

Miracle's Heaven

scene was truly a monumental accomplishment. This three-second shot features
thousands of animated elements and dozens of custom modeled
3D sculptures.

The Great

Journey has begun" is the title of the
all-important opening sequence of Miracle
featuring the Old Prophet. This sequence was
captured in stereoscopic ultra high-definition at
RCCM Studios in Rochester.

"Source of All

Light" is the incredible climax sequence of the
Miracle experience. Producers wished to capture this
pivotal moment in history in a new and fresh way so delicate
attention was paid to every detail. Shot in Stereoscopic Ultra high-definition at
RCCM Studios in Rochester.

Angel's Bedroom

was the largest single shoot of the Miracle attraction.
A team of over one hundred set designers, choreographers,
riggers, and producers worked together to make this sequence possible.

Heaven Prep

Hundreds of hours were logged preparing the 150 year-old St. Bridgets cathedral
for Angel's Bedroom's shoot.
