Situated to the south east of the city of Leeds, on a 275 acre estate adjoining Junction 46 of the M1 motorway, which includes 140 acres of woodland, Thorpe Park is a prime business and leisure park.
The development, led by Scarborough International Properties in association with Legal and General, was initiated in August 2015 at a cost of some £162m. The first business offices were completed in November 2016.
In October 2018 The Springs, a 350,000 square foot retail and leisure park, opened, featuring fashion retailers H&M, Next, TK Maxx, River Island and Outfit.
On 12th April 2019 the Odeon Luxe opened in The Springs. It includes an ISENSE large-format auditorium, with Dolby Atmos sound and 4k projection. It also has the 2nd Dolby screen to be installed in the UK (the first being the Odeon Leicester Square, London). Seating capacities are: Screen 1:133; Screen 2 (Dolby):263; Screen 3 (ISENSE):169; Screen 4:105; Screen 5:64; Screen 6:64; Screen 7:39; Screen 8:39; Screen 9:39 and Screen 10:39.

First, I’d like to extend my thanks to the manager and the staff on duty on 15/05/26, who were all exceptionally friendly and accommodating in allowing me to photograph two of the auditoriums (Screen 2: Dolby Cinema and Screen 3: iSense). Your assistance was greatly appreciated.
I made the journey to Leeds—a round trip of over 350 miles and more than six hours—to experience the UK’s largest and first purpose-built Dolby Cinema screen. With the exception of Odeon Luxe West End London (the second purpose-built Dolby Cinema) and Battersea Power Station (the third), every other Dolby Cinema in the UK has been created by retrofitting an existing auditorium.
Given its significance, I find it surprising that Odeon has done relatively little to promote this venue. I was also disappointed to discover that there were very few high-quality photographs of the Dolby Cinema auditorium available online. As a result, I decided to help address that by taking a comprehensive set of photographs during my visit.
I mentioned this to the manager at the time and, as promised, I’ve now uploaded a selection of the images I took that day, with photographs of Screen 3 (iSense) to follow. Apologies for the delay in getting them posted.
Finally, if anyone from Odeon happens to read this, I would be more than happy to do the same for your other Dolby Cinema locations, provided I can be granted access to empty auditoriums before the first screening of the day. If that’s of interest, please feel free to get in touch.
Screen 2: Dolby Cinema
~19.73m x 11.18m (screen curve is ~0.65m deep)
263 electric recliner seats
Auditorium:
L 26.3m
W 24.85m. (Back) 21.56m (Front)
Front row to screen is 9m
Row C to screen is 12.76m
Row D to screen is 14.73m
Row E to screen is 16.72m
Last row to screen is 25.68m
Surround speakers (44 in total visible on the walls and ceiling):
Each side wall has
4 rectangle at front
4 round
2 rectangle in each of the rear corners
Along back wall: 2 x sets of 3 = 6 total round
Two subwoofers down each side wall. Unsure of the exact model number but if they are the same as those in Dolby Cinema West End, London then those are SLS CS218-I x 4. Dolby Cinema Leicester Square, London uses SLS CS218XL X 8. Unsure if there are also subwoofers located behind the screen?
Ceiling:
2 rectangle at front x 2 = 4 total
7 round x 2 = 14 total
Rectangle speakers look to be QSC AP-5152 Acoustic Performance Series 2-way loudspeakers, 625W RMS
Round speakers look to be either of these models (both look identical to one another) SLS MA480AS / MA460AS 2-way 3-axis full range speakers
If anyone knows otherwise please do post in the comments section. I had no access to any specification sheets so apologises if any of the information is not 100% accurate. Would also like to give a shoutout to Kim (bored_tech YouTube channel) who mentioned speaker model numbers in some of the videos he posted on his channel when he visited the two Odeon Dolby Cinema venues in London. You’re awesome, Dude.
