Just a correction on some of the details; when it originally opened screen 1 alone, had a capacity for 1200 people, screen 2 was 900. It had the largest auditoriums outside of central London. I worked there as an usher as part of the original team from November 1989 (first month was for training prior to the opening) to October 1990 and I worked the royal premiere of Ghostbusters II attended by Princess Anne. The multiplex had the capability of projecting a single print to all 8 screens, though that capability was never utilised, at least not while I worked there. For the royal premiere of Ghostbusters II, 8 separate prints were used for all 8 screens, but projected simultaneously.
