AMC Mainstreet – A Trip In History To See The Future

Tweet

This past week I got a chance to check out the new AMC Theater in downtown Kansas City called "AMC Mainstreet".

Now AMC Mainstreet is not your typical new theater setup in the suburbs of a major city. This is a building that opened in downtown KC in October 1921 as a vaudeville and movie house bringing it a rich history that adds to the movie experience when you walk around the complex. One of the kool parts of the tour was getting to see part of the original 3200 seat amphitheater still intact! very kool!

Now what about what you will find today? what are some of the features of the remodeled theatre?

* Cinema Suites - The ultimate in luxury moviegoing at an affordable price, featuring Seat-Side Service™, with special amenities like plush reclining seats and a custom menu of favorites from The Marquee Bar & Grill.
* Self-serve drinks with flavor shots and popcorn seasoning station to give your concessions an extra kick.
* Reserved seating in all auditoriums.
* Grab a warm cappuccino, latte or cup of joe at the Coffee Café.
* Sit back and relax with a cold beer or glass of wine while you enjoy your movie.
* Digital Projection and 11-channel surround sound puts you in the feature.

With all the great history of the theater as well as the food options of a bar and grill right there my awesome moment was the cinema suites...Now you may have been to the cinema suites at Olathe 30 but the added features at Mainstreet really took movie watching to the next level.

You have a bigger screen, you have extra speakers including ones in the ceiling raining sound down on you from above, as well as the butt kicker under each seat which brings the feeling of that huge explosion right to your chair! It was so much awesome sauce!

Here is a little video I took of the tour we took

So when can you check out all the great things going on with the new AMC theater downtown? Opening day is May 1st and it is located at the corner of 14th and Main, in the Power and Light District.
